Pull networking update from David Miller:

 1) Checkpoint/restarted TCP sockets now can properly propagate the TCP
    timestamp offset.  From Andrey Vagin.

 2) VMWARE VM VSOCK layer, from Andy King.

 3) Much improved support for virtual functions and SR-IOV in bnx2x,
    from Ariel ELior.

 4) All protocols on ipv4 and ipv6 are now network namespace aware, and
    all the compatability checks for initial-namespace-only protocols is
    removed.  Thanks to Tom Parkin for helping deal with the last major
    holdout, L2TP.

 5) IPV6 support in netpoll and network namespace support in pktgen,
    from Cong Wang.

 6) Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) and Multiple VLAN Registration
    Protocol (MVRP) support, from David Ward.

 7) Compute packet lengths more accurately in the packet scheduler, from
    Eric Dumazet.

 8) Use per-task page fragment allocator in skb_append_datato_frags(),
    also from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Add support for connection tracking labels in netfilter, from
    Florian Westphal.

10) Fix default multicast group joining on ipv6, and add anti-spoofing
    checks to 6to4 and 6rd.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

11) Make ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation memory limits more reasonable in modern
    times, rearrange inet frag datastructures for better cacheline
    locality, and move more operations outside of locking.  From Jesper
    Dangaard Brouer.

12) Instead of strict master <--> slave relationships, allow arbitrary
    scenerios with "upper device lists".  From Jiri Pirko.

13) Improve rate limiting accuracy in TBF and act_police, also from Jiri
    Pirko.

14) Add a BPF filter netfilter match target, from Willem de Bruijn.

15) Orphan and delete a bunch of pre-historic networking drivers from
    Paul Gortmaker.

16) Add TSO support for GRE tunnels, from Pravin B SHelar.  Although
    this still needs some minor bug fixing before it's %100 correct in
    all cases.

17) Handle unresolved IPSEC states like ARP, with a resolution packet
    queue.  From Steffen Klassert.

18) Remove TCP Appropriate Byte Count support (ABC), from Stephen
    Hemminger.  This was long overdue.

19) Support SO_REUSEPORT, from Tom Herbert.

20) Allow locking a socket BPF filter, so that it cannot change after a
    process drops capabilities.

21) Add VLAN filtering to bridge, from Vlad Yasevich.

22) Bring ipv6 on-par with ipv4 and do not cache neighbour entries in
    the ipv6 routes, from YOSHIFUJI Hideaki.
