Currently, sizeof(struct fib_alias) is 24 or 48 bytes on 32/64 bits
arches.
Because of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN requirement, these are rounded to 32 and
64 bytes respectively.
This patch moves rcu to the end of fib_alias, and conditionally
defines it only for CONFIG_IP_FIB_TRIE.
We also remove SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN requirement for fib_alias and
fib_node objects because it is not necessary.
(BTW SLUB currently denies it for objects smaller than
cache_line_size() / 2, but not SLAB)
Finally, sizeof(fib_alias) go back to 16 and 32 bytes.
Then, we can embed one fib_alias on each fib_node, to favor locality.
Most of the time access to the fib_alias will be free because one
cache line contains both the list head (fn_alias) and (one of) the
list element.

When you replace route via ip r r command the netlink multicast message is
not send. This patch corrects it. NL message is sent with NLM_F_REPLACE
flag.

Introduces struct fib_config replacing the ugly struct kern_rta
prone to ordering issues. Avoids creating faked netlink messages
for auto generated routes or requests via ioctl.
A new interface net/nexthop.h is added to help navigate through
nexthop configuration arrays.
A new struct nl_info will be used to carry the necessary netlink
information to be used for notifications later on.

Use u32 for routing table IDs in net/ipv4 and net/decnet in preparation of
support for a larger number of routing tables. net/ipv6 already uses u32
everywhere and needs no further changes. No functional changes are made by
this patch.

This patch rectifies some rtnetlink message builders that derive the
flags from the pid. It is now explicit like the other cases
which get it right. Also fixes half a dozen dumpers which did not
set NLM_F_MULTI at all.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
