    Pull networking changes from David Miller:
    
     1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov.
    
     2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman.
    
     3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko.
    
     4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar.
    
     5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy.
    
     6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others.
    
     7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel
        Borkmann.
    
     8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet.
    
     9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for
        outgoing networking traffic.  This benefits processes that have very
        many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.
    
        From Eric Dumazet.
    
    10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
        smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail.  Benefits are
        a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
        allocator c) less waste of space.
    
        From Eric Dumazet.
    
    11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet.
    
    12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the
        limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation.
        From Stephen Hemminger.
    
    13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale
        perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around.
    
    Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user
    namespace changes.
