This last patch (but not least :) ) finally moves the next pointer at
the end of struct dst_entry. This permits to perform route cache
lookups with a minimal cost of one cache line per entry, instead of
two.
Both 32bits and 64bits platforms benefit from this new layout.

This patch removes the next pointer from 'struct dn_route.u' union,
and renames u.rt_next to u.dst.dn_next.
It also moves 'struct flowi' right after 'struct dst_entry' to prepare
speedup lookups.

This patch introduces an anonymous union to nicely express the fact that all
objects inherited from struct dst_entry should access to the generic 'next'
pointer but with appropriate type verification.

ehash table layout is currently this one :
First half of this table is used by sockets not in TIME_WAIT state
Second half of it is used by sockets in TIME_WAIT state.
This is non optimal because of for a given hash or socket, the two chain heads
are located in separate cache lines.
Moreover the locks of the second half are never used.
If instead of this halving, we use two list heads in inet_ehash_bucket instead
of only one, we probably can avoid one cache miss, and reduce ram usage,
particularly if sizeof(rwlock_t) is big (various CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK,
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC settings). So we still halves the table but we keep
together related chains to speedup lookups and socket state change.
In this patch I did not try to align struct inet_ehash_bucket, but a future
patch could try to make this structure have a convenient size (a power of two
or a multiple of L1_CACHE_SIZE).
I guess rwlock will just vanish as soon as RCU is plugged into ehash :) , so
maybe we dont need to scratch our heads to align the bucket...
Note : In case struct inet_ehash_bucket is not a power of two, we could
probably change alloc_large_system_hash() (in case it use __get_free_pages())
to free the unused space. It currently allocates a big zone, but the last
quarter of it could be freed. Again, this should be a temporary 'problem'.
Patch tested on ipv4 tcp only, but should be OK for IPV6 and DCCP.

Adds call forwarding to X.25, allowing it to operate like an X.25 router.
Useful if one needs to manipulate X.25 traffic with tools like tc.
This is an update/cleanup based off a patch submitted by Daniel Ferenci a few years ago.
Thanks Alan for the feedback.
Added the null check to the clones.
Moved the skb_clone's into the forwarding functions.
Worked ok with Cisco XoT, linux X.25 back to back, and some old NTUs/PADs.

Extend the XFRM framework so that endpoint address(es) in the XFRM
databases could be dynamically updated according to a request (MIGRATE
message) from user application. Target XFRM policy is first identified
by the selector in the MIGRATE message. Next, the endpoint addresses
of the matching templates and XFRM states are updated according to
the MIGRATE message.

This is nf_conntrack_sane, a netfilter connection tracking helper module
for the SANE protocol used by the 'saned' daemon to make scanners available
via network. The SANE protocol uses separate control & data connections,
similar to passive FTP. The helper module is needed to recognize the data
connection as RELATED to the control one.

We can't elide the skb_set_owner_w() here because things like certain
netfilter targets (such as owner MATCH) need a socket to be set on the
SKB for correct operation.
Thanks to Jan Engelhardt and other netfilter list members for
pointing this out.
