We had two independent patches (also trying to get NetBSD, Darwin and Linux 
compat) and enhancement, which are currently under review.  FreeBSD 9 has 
spares for this so it can be merged to stable/9 easily.  The change will add 
KEEPINTVL, KEEPCNT, KEEPINIT and KEEPIDLE (badly named but already pseudo 
industry standard).
