Yeah, my recollection about 7.3 appears to have been remembering when
the kernel module was included by default as opposed to needing to be
explicitly loaded.

it would appear that 7.x remains fixed sans a kernel build (not
necessarily a big deal for FreeBSD users), but 8.1+ can be tuned with
sysctl.
