ip6_dst_ops have cache line alignement.

Moving it at beginning of netns_ipv6
removes a 48 byte hole, and shrinks netns_ipv6
from 12 to 11 cache lines.

<title>net: ipv6: Emit notification when fib hardware flags are changed</title>

<content type='text'>
After installing a route to the kernel, user space receives an
acknowledgment, which means the route was installed in the kernel,
but not necessarily in hardware.

The asynchronous nature of route installation in hardware can lead
to a routing daemon advertising a route before it was actually installed in
hardware. This can result in packet loss or mis-routed packets until the
route is installed in hardware.

It is also possible for a route already installed in hardware to change
its action and therefore its flags. For example, a host route that is
trapping packets can be "promoted" to perform decapsulation following
the installation of an IPinIP/VXLAN tunnel.

Emit RTM_NEWROUTE notifications whenever RTM_F_OFFLOAD/RTM_F_TRAP flags
are changed. The aim is to provide an indication to user-space
(e.g., routing daemons) about the state of the route in hardware.

Introduce a sysctl that controls this behavior.

Keep the default value at 0 (i.e., do not emit notifications) for several
reasons:
- Multiple RTM_NEWROUTE notification per-route might confuse existing
  routing daemons.
- Convergence reasons in routing daemons.
- The extra notifications will negatively impact the insertion rate.
- Not all users are interested in these notifications.

Move fib6_info_hw_flags_set() to C file because it is no longer a short
function.

Use a per namespace counter, increment it on successful creation
of any route using the source address, decrement it on deletion
of such routes.

This allows us to check easily if the routing decision in the
current namespace depends on the packet source. Will be used
by the next patch.

fqdir structures to not force expensive synchronize_rcu() calls

1) struct netns_frags is renamed to struct fqdir
  This structure is really holding many frag queues in a hash table.

2) (struct inet_frag_queue)-&gt;net field is renamed to fqdir
  since net is generally associated to a 'struct net' pointer
  in networking stack.

<title>ipv6: Add rate limit mask for ICMPv6 messages</title>

<content type='text'>
To make ICMPv6 closer to ICMPv4, add ratemask parameter. Since the ICMP
message types use larger numeric values, a simple bitmask doesn't fit.
I use large bitmap. The input and output are the in form of list of
ranges. Set the default to rate limit all error messages but Packet Too
Big. For Packet Too Big, use ratemask instead of hard-coded.

There are functions where icmpv6_xrlim_allow() and icmpv6_global_allow()
aren't called. This patch only adds them to icmpv6_echo_reply().

Rate limiting error messages is mandated by RFC 4443 but RFC 4890 says
that it is also acceptable to rate limit informational messages. Thus,
I removed the current hard-coded behavior of icmpv6_mask_allow() that
doesn't rate limit informational messages.

v2: Add dummy function proc_do_large_bitmap() if CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL
    isn't defined, expand the description in ip-sysctl.txt and remove
    unnecessary conditional before kfree().
v3: Inline the bitmap instead of dynamically allocated. Still is a
    pointer to it is needed because of the way proc_do_large_bitmap work.
