NetLabel: check for a CIPSOv4 option before we do call into the CIPSOv4 layer
Right now the NetLabel code always jumps into the CIPSOv4 layer to determine if
a CIPSO IP option is present. However, we can do this check directly in the
NetLabel code by making use of the CIPSO_V4_OPTEXIST() macro which should save
us a function call in the common case of not having a CIPSOv4 option present.

NetLabel: make netlbl_lsm_secattr struct easier/quicker to understand
The existing netlbl_lsm_secattr struct required the LSM to check all of the
fields to determine if any security attributes were present resulting in a lot
of work in the common case of no attributes. This patch adds a 'flags' field
which is used to indicate which attributes are present in the structure; this
should allow the LSM to do a quick comparison to determine if the structure
holds any security attributes.
Example:
if (netlbl_lsm_secattr->flags)
/* security attributes present */
else
/* NO security attributes present */

[NET]: Supporting UDP-Lite (RFC 3828) in Linux
This is a revision of the previously submitted patch, which alters
the way files are organized and compiled in the following manner:
* UDP and UDP-Lite now use separate object files
* source file dependencies resolved via header files
net/ipv{4,6}/udp_impl.h
* order of inclusion files in udp.c/udplite.c adapted
accordingly
[NET/IPv4]: Support for the UDP-Lite protocol (RFC 3828)
This patch adds support for UDP-Lite to the IPv4 stack, provided as an
extension to the existing UDPv4 code:
* generic routines are all located in net/ipv4/udp.c
* UDP-Lite specific routines are in net/ipv4/udplite.c
* MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/udplite
* shared API with extensions for partial checksum coverage
[NET/IPv6]: Extension for UDP-Lite over IPv6
It extends the existing UDPv6 code base with support for UDP-Lite
in the same manner as per UDPv4. In particular,
* UDPv6 generic and shared code is in net/ipv6/udp.c
* UDP-Litev6 specific extensions are in net/ipv6/udplite.c
* MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp6 and /proc/net/udplite6
* support for IPV6_ADDRFORM
* aligned the coding style of protocol initialisation with af_inet6.c
* made the error handling in udpv6_queue_rcv_skb consistent;
to return `-1' on error on all error cases
* consolidation of shared code
[NET]: UDP-Lite Documentation and basic XFRM/Netfilter support
The UDP-Lite patch further provides
* API documentation for UDP-Lite
* basic xfrm support
* basic netfilter support for IPv4 and IPv6 (LOG target)

The beast had a long and not very happy history. At one
point, a friend (netdump) had asked that he open up a little.

this dangling piece hanging (netpoll_queue).

where it belonged and make everything tidy.

When the netpoll beast got busy, he tended to babble.
Instead of talking out of his large mouth as normal,
he tended to try to snort out other orifices. This lead
to words (skbs) ending up in odd places (like NIT) that
he did not intend.
The normal way of talking wouldn't work, but he could
at least change to using the same tone all the time.

Do not traverse the list of ack vector records [proportional to window size]

useful because ack vectors are checked twice:
1) Upon parsing of options.
2) Upon notification of a new ack.
All of the work will occur during check #1. Therefore, when check #2 is
performed, no new work will be done. This is now "detected" and there is no
performance hit when doing #2.
