A number of significant new features and optimizations for net-next/3.12.
Highlights are:
* "Megaflows", an optimization that allows userspace to specify which
flow fields were used to compute the results of the flow lookup.
This allows for a major reduction in flow setups (the major
performance bottleneck in Open vSwitch) without reducing flexibility.
* Converting netlink dump operations to use RCU, allowing for
additional parallelism in userspace.
* Matching and modifying SCTP protocol fields.
The following changes since commit 2771399ac9986c75437a83b1c723493cfcdfa439:
