As Jon says: We remove the last remnants of the TIPC native API, to make it possible to simplify locking policy and solve a problem with lost topology events. First, we introduce a socket-based alternative to the native API. Second, we convert the two remaining users of the native API, the TIPC internal topology server and the configuarion server, to use the new API. Third, we remove the remaining code pertaining to the native API. We also ditch another Kconfig parameter, in favour of having it being able to be set at boot/module load time vs requiring a reconfig/recompile. In addition, there is a follow up to fix an issue that Neil had highlighted during the previous round of TIPC commits. I've tested this collection of commits between 32 and 64 bit x86 machines using the standard tipc test suite.
