TCP/IP events always happen in places where sleepable locks can be held, 
so this doesn't require the semantics of KTR.  Instead, it seems feasible 
to send the tcp info straight to syslog and let it direct the relevant 
info to /var/log/tcpdebug.log.  No need for a translation program like 
ktrdump then.
