     5) Run ingress qdisc lockless, from Alexei Starovoitov.
    
     6) Allow servers to fetch TCP packet headers for SYN packets of new
        connections, for fingerprinting.  From Eric Dumazet.
    
     7) Add mode parameter to pktgen, for testing receive.  From Alexei
        Starovoitov.
    
     8) Cache access optimizations via simplifications of build_skb(), from

    10) Add xmit_more support to hv_netvsc, from KY Srinivasan.
    
    11) Add a counter guard in case we try to perform endless reclassify
        loops in the packet scheduler.
    
    12) Extern flow dissector to be programmable and use it in new "Flower"
        classifier.  From Jiri Pirko.
