Its accurate to say that only the first value is usd currently, but because of
the way this sysctl is contructed (its used by the sysctl_rmem pointer in the
sctp_prot struct, which expects an array of three integers in the commong
__sk_mem_schedule function), we wont' be removing the other two values.  Drop
that bit and its an ack from me.
