This is a patch organization nit, but it would be better to either
combine all of the changes into a single patch or use the
--cover-letter option when formatting the patches and then each
patch set can describe what it is doing.

That being said, I'm not in favor of this patch going in without
some sort of upcall message dropping (in addition to the current
upcall rate throttling).  Testing here is already showing
potential DOS attacks by using a DHCP message storm and I'm worried
that tasking the controller with processing these types of messages
will just increase that attack surface many, many fold.
