The function signatures for Xtables extensions have grown over time.
It involves a lot of typing/replication, and also a bit of stack space
even if they are not used. Realize an NFWS2008 idea and pack them into
structs. The skb remains outside of the struct so gcc can continue to
apply its optimizations.
This patch does this for match extensions' match functions.
A few ambiguities have also been addressed. The "offset" parameter for
example has been renamed to "fragoff" (there are so many different
offsets already) and "protoff" to "thoff" (there is more than just one
protocol here, so clarify).

Dushan Tcholich reports that on his system ksoftirqd can consume
between %6 to %10 of cpu time, and cause ~200 context switches per
second.
He then correlated this with a report by bdupree@techfinesse.com:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119613299024398&w=2
and the culprit cause seems to be starting the bridge interface.
In particular, when starting the bridge interface, his scripts
are specifying a hello timer interval of "0".
The bridge hello time can't be safely set to values less than 1
second, otherwise it is possible to end up with a runaway timer.

From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com>
Based upon original patch by Herbert Xu, which contained
the following problem description:
--------------------
When the forward delay is set to zero, we still delay the setting
of the forwarding state by one or possibly two timers depending
on whether STP is enabled. This could either turn out to be
instantaneous, or horribly slow depending on the load of the
machine.
As there is nothing preventing us from enabling forwarding straight
away, this patch eliminates this potential delay by executing the
code directly if the forward delay is zero.
The effect of this problem is that immediately after the carrier
comes on a port, the bridge will drop all packets received from
that port until it enters forwarding mode, thus causing unnecessary
packet loss.
Note that this patch doesn't fully remove the delay due to the
link watcher. We should also check the carrier state when we
are about to drop an incoming packet because the port is disabled.
But that's for another patch.
--------------------
This version of the fix takes a different approach, in that
it just does the state change directly.

When bridging interfaces with different MTUs, the bridge correctly chooses
the minimum of the MTUs of the physical devices as the bridges MTU. But
when a frame is passed which fits through the incoming, but not through
the outgoing interface, a "Fragmentation Needed" packet is generated.
However, the propagated MTU is hardcoded to 1500, which is wrong in this
situation. The sender will repeat the packet again with the same frame
size, and the same problem will occur again.
Instead of sending 1500, the (correct) MTU value of the bridge is now sent
via PMTU. To achieve this, the corresponding rtable structure is stored
in its net_bridge structure.
Modified to get rid of fake_net_device as well.

Unregistering a bridge device may cause virtual devices stacked on the
bridge, like vlan or macvlan devices, to be unregistered as well.
br_cleanup_bridges() uses for_each_netdev_safe() to iterate over all
devices during cleanup. This is not enough however, if one of the
additionally unregistered devices is next in the list to the bridge
device, it will get freed as well and the iteration continues on
the freed element.
Restart iteration after each bridge device removal from the beginning to
fix this, similar to what rtnl_link_unregister() does.

Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h.
This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the
kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this
list.h without creating some circular dependencies.
For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference()
without including rcupdate.h. It actually compiles because users of
rcu_dereference() are macros. Others RCU functions could be used too but
aren't probably because of this.
Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to
many changes/troubles.

The forwarding table binary interface (my bad choice), only exposes
the port number of the first 8 bits. The bridge code was limited to
256 ports at the time, but now the kernel supports up 1024 ports, so
the upper bits are lost when doing:
brctl showmacs
The fix is to squeeze the extra bits into small hole left in data
structure, to maintain binary compatiablity.

There is a race condition when unloading bridge and netfilter.
The problem happens if __fake_rtable is in use by a skb
coming in, while someone starts to unload bridge.ko.
br_netfilter_fini() is called at the beginning of unload
in br_deinit() while skbs still are being forwarded and
transferred to local ip stack. Thus there is a possibility
of the __fake_rtable pointer not being removed in a skb that
goes up to ip stack. This results in a kernel panic, as
ip_rcv() calls the input-function of __fake_rtable, which
is NULL.
Moving the call of br_netfilter_fini() to the end of
br_deinit() solves the problem.
