Which TCP/IP stacks besides Linux have Fast Open at this point and for 
how long have they had it?  Basically, how prevalent are servers out 
there (both Internet and intranet) with support for Fast Open?

http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2013/11/01/november-2013-web-server-survey.html 
  doesn't go down to the OS level, and 
http://www.netcraft.com/internet-data-mining/ssl-survey/ is only from 
May and was in the context of SSL sides, but it does provide an 
interesting break-down of "OS share" which looks reasonably stable going 
back three years and so probably isn't too far off presently.
