I have kept the current limits in place, but I think that it's somewhat
ugly to have this policy enforced in the allocator where it is hard to
adjust with a sysctl. Perhaps maxsockets could stay but become run time
adjustable.
Is there any case where we will have lots of pcbs w/o sockets? If so, all
of the limits checking can be done in the socket code and the pcb code can
completely forget about it.

Everything has been UMA'd other than MD code, so I'm working on making the
system take advantage of it.
