+ Note that this prevents automatic flowlabel changes, as done
+ in "tcp: change IPv6 flow-label upon receiving spurious retransmission"
+ and "tcp: Change txhash on every SYN and RTO retransmit"
+
+ 2: enabled for TCP RESET packets (no active listener)
+ If set, a RST packet sent in response to a SYN packet on a closed
+ port will reflect the incoming flow label.
