David Ahern ab84be7e54 net: Initial nexthop code
Barebones start point for nexthops. Implementation for RTM commands,
notifications, management of rbtree for holding nexthops by id, and
kernel side data structures for nexthops and nexthop config.

Nexthops are maintained in an rbtree sorted by id. Similar to routes,
nexthops are configured per namespace using netns_nexthop struct added
to struct net.

Nexthop notifications are sent when a nexthop is added or deleted,
but NOT if the delete is due to a device event or network namespace
teardown (which also involves device events). Applications are
expected to use the device down event to flush nexthops and any
routes used by the nexthops.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
