Opterons with frequency scaling have fully unsynchronized TSCs
running at different frequencies, so using TSCs there is not a good idea.
Also some other x86 boxes have this problem. gettimeofday should be good
enough, so just disable it.

Original patch by Harald Welte, with feedback from Herbert Xu
and testing by Sébastien Bernard.
EBTABLES, ARP tables, and IP/IP6 tables all assume that cpus
are numbered linearly. That is not necessarily true.
This patch fixes that up by calculating the largest possible
cpu number, and allocating enough per-cpu structure space given
that.

This is the second report of this bug. Unfortunately the first
reporter hasn't been able to reproduce it since to provide more
debugging info.
So let's apply this patch for 2.6.14 to
1) Make this non-fatal.
2) Provide the info we need to track it down.

This fixes the RCU race on bridge delete interface. Basically,
the network device has to be detached from the bridge in the first
step (pre-RCU), rather than later. At that point, no more bridge traffic
will come in, and the other code will not think that network device
is part of a bridge.
This should also fix the XEN test problems.

Initially we used 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, since we
had no event mechanism to tell userspace that our counters are about to
overflow. With nfnetlink_conntrack, we now have such a event mechanism and
thus can save 16bytes per connection.

This patch fixes the following bugs in ESP:
* Fix transport mode MTU overestimate. This means that the inner MTU
is smaller than it needs be. Worse yet, given an input MTU which
is a multiple of 4 it will always produce an estimate which is not
a multiple of 4.
For example, given a standard ESP/3DES/MD5 transform and an MTU of
1500, the resulting MTU for transport mode is 1462 when it should
be 1464.
The reason for this is because IP header lengths are always a multiple
of 4 for IPv4 and 8 for IPv6.
* Ensure that the block size is at least 4. This is required by RFC2406
and corresponds to what the esp_output function does. At the moment
this only affects crypto_null as its block size is 1.

To keep consistency, the TCP private protocol information is nested
attributes under CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP. This way the sequence of attributes to
access the TCP state information looks like here below:
CTA_PROTOINFO
CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP
CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP_STATE
instead of:
CTA_PROTOINFO

As Henrik Nordstrom pointed out, all our efforts with "split endian" (i.e.
host byte order tags, net byte order values) are useless, unless a parser
can determine whether an attribute is nested or not.
This patch steals the highest bit of nfattr.nfa_type to indicate whether
the data payload contains a nested nfattr (1) or not (0).
This will break userspace compatibility, but luckily no kernel with
nfnetlink was released so far.
