+DCCP_SOCKOPT_SERVICE sets the service. The specification mandates use of
+service codes (RFC 4340, sec. 8.1.2); if this socket option is not set,
+the socket will fall back to 0 (which means that no meaningful service code
+is present). Connecting sockets set at most one service option; for
+listening sockets, multiple service codes can be specified.

+/sys/power/pm_trace controls the code which saves the last PM event point in
+the RTC across reboots, so that you can debug a machine that just hangs
+during suspend (or more commonly, during resume).  Namely, the RTC is only
+used to save the last PM event point if this file contains '1'.  Initially it
+contains '0' which may be changed to '1' by writing a string representing a
+nonzero integer into it.
+
+To use this debugging feature you should attempt to suspend the machine, then
+reboot it and run
+
+	dmesg -s 1000000 | grep 'hash matches'
+
+CAUTION: Using it will cause your machine's real-time (CMOS) clock to be
+set to a random invalid time after a resume.
