3.
once "AcceptFilter" has support on linux, i think we will want an on/off
(default to on) because there's a possibility the current implementation
isn't up to snuff on large n-way SMP boxes, and those folks will want it
turned off. (but i want the default "on" because that's better for most
people.)
i don't think failing to turn on the accept filter should be an error at
all.
