[NET 00/06]: Increase number of possible routing tables

[Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>]

These are the updated patches (against net-2.6.19) to increase the number
of possible routing tables to 2^32. They basically consist of four parts:

- Use u32 for routing table IDs everywhere inside the kernel

- Introduce new netlink attributes to carry extended table IDs and add
  compatibility functions to use either rtm_table or the new attributes
  if given.

- Prepare IPv4/IPv6/DecNET for increasing RT_TABLE_MAX to 2^32 by using
  hash tables instead of a fixed size array of pointers (IPv4 and DecNET,
  IPv6 already contains that part) and replacing iterations over all
  possible table IDs by hash walking.

- Finally, increase RT_TABLE_MAX to 2^32

IPv4 and IPv6 are tested with and without CONFIG_MULTIPLE_TABLES, DecNET
is only compile tested.
