It's for accept filters, I didn't expect to actually get that many
connections however:
1) I shouldn't shoot myself in the foot by dinking this to a 'reasonable'
number
2) aren't 16 bit ops more expensive on things like the Alpha?
I think I have a generic way to implement a SYSCTL_LIMIT type
thing, but it'll be a couple of days before I can present it.
