A number of significant new features and optimizations for net-next/3.12.
Highlights are:
 * "Megaflows", an optimization that allows userspace to specify which
   flow fields were used to compute the results of the flow lookup.
   This allows for a major reduction in flow setups (the major
   performance bottleneck in Open vSwitch) without reducing flexibility.
 * Converting netlink dump operations to use RCU, allowing for
   additional parallelism in userspace.
 * Matching and modifying SCTP protocol fields.

The following changes since commit 2771399ac9986c75437a83b1c723493cfcdfa439:

  fs_enet: cleanup clock API use (2013-08-22 22:13:54 -0700)
