Subject[patch 28/32] TCP: Use default 32768-61000 outgoing port range in all cases.
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------
From: Mark Glines <mark@glines.org>

This diff changes the default port range used for outgoing connections,
from "use 32768-61000 in most cases, but use N-4999 on small boxes
(where N is a multiple of 1024, depending on just *how* small the box
is)" to just "use 32768-61000 in all cases".

I don't believe there are any drawbacks to this change, and it keeps
outgoing connection ports farther away from the mess of
IANA-registered ports.
