All the non TCP_* defines are inside of __USE_MISC.

That's not what that was, it's lining all of them up.  It
looked atrocious otherwise.

I should have used -b or something similar, here are the defines
which are added and aren't whitespace changes:

+#define TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS	 15 /* TCP Cookie Transactions */
+#define TCP_THIN_LINEAR_TIMEOUTS 16 /* Use linear timeouts for thin streams*/
+#define TCP_THIN_DUPACK		 17 /* Fast retrans. after 1 dupack */
+#define TCP_USER_TIMEOUT	 18 /* How long for loss retry before timeout */
+#define TCP_REPAIR		 19 /* TCP sock is under repair right now */
+#define TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE	 20 /* Set TCP queue to repair */
+#define TCP_QUEUE_SEQ		 21 /* Set sequence number of repaired queue. */
+#define TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS	 22 /* Repair TCP connection options */
+#define TCP_FASTOPEN		 23 /* Enable FastOpen on listeners */

I'll add some comments before I commit, thanks Roland.
