iproute2: act_ipt fix xtables breakage on older versions.
In trying to build on a RHEL6.3 I ran into several build issues that are
addressed in this patch.
The first is that xtables_merge_options only has 3 parameters. It appears
this is how this code was originally. As such for the case where the version
is less than 6 I am assuming it would be correct to maintain the original
setup that only had 3 parameters being passed instead of 4.
I also ran into an issue with the define for __ALIGN_KERNEL not being present.
I believe this may be due to the fact that __ALIGN_KERNEL was moved into a
separate header from ALIGN after the UAPI changes. In order to just cover all
of the bases I have moved the main definition for the macros into
__ALIGN_KERNEL_MASK and __ALIGN_KERNEL and if ALIGN is also needed then it is
just a direct redefine to __ALIGN_KERNEL.

iproute2: add l2spec_type param to l2tp add session
When unmanaged L2TP sessions are created using "ip l2tp add session",
there is no option to allow the session's Layer2SpecificHeader type to
be selected - the kernel's default setting is always used. For
interopability with some vendor equipment, it might be necessary to
use a different setting. So add a new l2spec_type parameter to the "ip
l2tp add session" parameter list, allowing operators to set a specific
Layer2SpecificHeader type. The kernel already exposes the setting as a
netlink attribute so it is straightforward to add support for it in
iproute2.
This change allows unmanaged L2TP sessions to be configured between
Linux and some Cisco equipment by specifying "l2spec_type none" in "ip
l2tp add session" command parameters.

bridge: Add vlan configuration support
Recent kernel patches added support for VLAN filtering on the bridge.
This functionality allows one to turn a basic bridge into a VLAN bridge,
where VLANs dicatate packet forwarding and header transformation.
To configure the VLANs on the bridge and its ports a new command is
added to the 'bridge' utility.
# bridge vlan add dev eth0 vid 10 pvid untagged brdev
# bridge vlan add
# bridge vlan delete dev eth0 vid 10
# bridge vlan show
This command supports the following flags:
master - peform the operation on the software bridge device. This is
the default behavior.
self - perform the operation on the hardware associated with the port.
This flag is required when the device is the bridge device and
the configuration is desired on the bridge device itself (not
one of the ports).
pvid - Set the PVID (port vlan id) for a given port. Any untagged
frames arriving on the port will be assigned to this vlan.
untagged - Sets the egress policy of for a given vlan. Default port
egress policy is tagged. Set this flag if you wish traffic
associated with this VLAN to exit the port untagged.
fix dependency on sizeof(__u64) == sizeof(unsigned long long)

unsigned long long where necessary (or unsigned long).
iproute2: clearer error messages for fifo and tbf qdiscs
Clearer error messages for fifo and tbf qdiscs:
- Say who is complaining
- Don't just say a parameter is bad, show the offending parameter
- Be clearer about duplicate parameters vs illegal pairs of parameters
- Try to give multiple error messages rather than let the user discover the errors one by one
- When there are parameter aliases, try to use the variant that was used, or at least mention them all
Note that in the old version an empty parameter list to tbf would just cause an explain() message
without a specific error message. By simply removing the relevant error check, the code now
handles this error more gracefully by printing an error message for all mandatory parameters.
It still prints the explain() message.

Need to table id in filter to be unsigned to avoid conversion to -1
The documentation for "ip" suggests that, when using multiple routing tables, the table ID can be an arbitrary 32 bit number. I've been writing a script that calculates a table Id based on an IP addresses and sets up tables accordingly based on it. This seems to work for everything I've tried except "ip route flush". If you specify a table to flush with an ID over 2^31, it flushes all IPv4 routing tables. For example:
Will delete all routing tables, including the default one. Needless to say, this is quite annoying. I think this is an upstream bug, but your opinions will be greatly appreciated.

- For incorrect parameters, show the value of the offending parameter, rather than just say that it is incorrect
- Rephrased messages for clarity
- Rephrased to more `mainstream' english

Sometimes "ip netns delete" fails because it can not delete the file a

network namespace was really in use this would be fine, but today it
is possible to pin all network namespaces by simply having a long
running process started with "ip netns exec".
Every mount is copied when a network namespace is created so it is
impossible to prevent the mounts from getting into other mount
namespaces. Modify all mounts in the files and subdirectories of
/var/run/netns to be shared mount points so that unmount events can
propogate, making it unlikely that "ip netns delete" will fail because
a directory is mounted in another mount namespace.
