'gap' is unsigned, so this code is wrong:

Make 'gap' signed.

In preparation for 64bit snmp counters for some mibs,
add an 'align' parameter to snmp_mib_init(), instead
of assuming mibs only contain 'unsigned long' fields.

Callers can use __alignof__(type) to provide correct
alignment.

<title>dccp: make implementation of Syn-RTT symmetric</title>

This patch is thanks to Andre Noll who reported the issue and helped testing.

The Syn-RTT sampled during the initial handshake currently only works for
the client sending the DCCP-Request. TFRC penalizes the absence of an RTT
sample with a very slow initial speed (1 packet per second), which delays
slow-start significantly, resulting in sluggish performance.

This patch mirrors the "Syn RTT" principle by adding a timestamp also onto
the DCCP-Response, producing an RTT sample  when the (Data)Ack completing
the handshake arrives.

Also changed the documentation to 'TFRC' since Syn RTTs are also used by CCID-4.

remove useless union keyword in rtable, rt6_info and dn_route.

Since there is only one member in a union, the union keyword isn't useful.

<title>ipv6: Refactor update of IPv6 flowi destination address for srcrt (RH) option</title>

There are more than a dozen occurrences of following code in the
IPv6 stack:

    if (opt &amp;&amp; opt-&gt;srcrt) {
            struct rt0_hdr *rt0 = (struct rt0_hdr *) opt-&gt;srcrt;
            ipv6_addr_copy(&amp;final, &amp;fl.fl6_dst);
            ipv6_addr_copy(&amp;fl.fl6_dst, rt0-&gt;addr);
            final_p = &amp;final;
    }

Replace those with a helper. Note that the helper overrides final_p
in all cases. This is ok as final_p was previously initialized to
NULL when declared.
