nontrivial extra treatment on ESN. RFC 4303 states:
Note: If a receiver chooses to not enable anti-replay for an SA, then
the receiver SHOULD NOT negotiate ESN in an SA management protocol.
Use of ESN creates a need for the receiver to manage the anti-replay
window (in order to determine the correct value for the high-order
bits of the ESN, which are employed in the ICV computation), which is
generally contrary to the notion of disabling anti-replay for an SA.
So return an error if an ESN state with disabled anti replay detection

DESCRIPTION
This patch tries to restore the initial init and cleanup
sequences that was before namspace patch.
Netns also requires action when net devices unregister
which has never been implemented. I.e this patch also
covers when a device moves into a network namespace,
and has to be released.
IMPLEMENTATION
The number of calls to register_pernet_device have been
reduced to one for the ip_vs.ko
Schedulers still have their own calls.
This patch adds a function __ip_vs_service_cleanup()
and an enable flag for the netfilter hooks.
The nf hooks will be enabled when the first service is loaded
and never disabled again, except when a namespace exit starts.

xt_compat_add_offset is called once per rule.
ebtables however called it for each match/target found in a rule.
The match/watcher/target parser already returns the needed delta, so it
is sufficient to move the xt_compat_add_offset call to a more reasonable
location.
While at it, also get rid of the unused COMPAT iterator macros.

r8169: merge firmware information into the chipset description data.
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_NONE is a fake index so put it at the end of the
enumeration and shift everybody.
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17 / RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_16 ordering fixed. Though
not wrong it was confusing enough to wonder if things were right.
Renaming rtl_chip_info was not strictly necessary. It allows to
check the patch for the correct use of the indexes though.

r8169: remove non-NAPI context invocation of rtl8169_rx_interrupt.
Invocation of rtl8169_rx_interrupt from rtl8169_reset_task was originally
intended to retrieve as much packets as possible from the rx ring when a
reset was needed. Nowadays rtl8169_reset_task is only scheduled, with
some delay
a. from the tx timeout watchdog
b. when resuming
c. from rtl8169_rx_interrupt itself
It's dubious that the loss of outdated packets will matter much for a)
and b). c) does not need to call itself again.

r8169: link speed selection timer rework.
The implementation was a bit krusty.
The 10s rtl8169_phy_timer timer has been (was ?) required with older
8169 for adequate phy operation when full gigabit is advertised in
autonegotiated mode. The timer does nothing if the link is up.
Otherwise it keeps resetting the phy until things improve.
- the device private data field phy_1000_ctrl_reg was used to
schedule the timer. Avoid it and save a few bytes.
- rtl8169_set_settings
pending timer is disabled before changing the link settings as
rtl8169_phy_timer is not always needed (see the removed test in
rtl8169_phy_timer).
- rtl8169_set_speed
the requested link parameters may not match the chipset : bail out
early on failure.
- rtl8169_open
Calling rtl8169_request_timer is redundant with
-> rtl8169_open
-> rtl8169_init_phy
-> rtl8169_set_speed
-> mod_timer
The latter always enables the phy timer whereas the former did not
for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_01. It should not make things worse but only
time will tell if reality agrees.
- rtl8169_request_timer : unused yet. Removed.
- rtl8169_delete_timer : useless. Bloat. Removed.
Side effect : the timer may kick in if the TBI is enabled. I do not
know if the TBI has ever been used in real life.

Shorten chipset version test.
No functional change.
Careful readers will notice that the 'supports_gmii' flag is deduced
from the device PCI id. Though less specific than the chipset related
RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_XY, it is good enough to detect a GMII deprieved 810x.
Some features push for a device specific configuration (improved jumbo
frame support for instance). 'supports_gmii' will follow this path
if / when the device PCI id test stops working.

Fix this by changing dellink() callers to always provide a non NULL
