Summary

When using bhyve's gdb stub to debug some changes to the kernel's early
boot code, I frequently hit an error when reconnecting gdb. Set
SO_REUSEADDR to mitigate this, as we do for the VNC server.

Why no check for errors from setsockopt call?

Because failure isn't fatal probably? The VNC code in rfb.c doesn't check for errors either. In practice I don't think SO_REUSEADDR can fail for a TCP socket on FreeBSD.

This was exactly my reasoning.

The man page clearly indicates it can fail, and the one in dbgport.c does check status.

It will only fail for generic reasons, like if s is not a socket or a copyin of the optval fails.
