That's quite annoying. We need a way of determining support, preferably
one that is vaguely portable (which looking for
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen probably is not).
I wonder if trying to use TCP_FASTOPEN in setsockopt reliably fails
on jessie? And, presumably, works on something newer (it works in
Fedora 24 at current update, and on Centos 7).
