[net-next PATCH 0/9] The rest of the FIB patches (add key_vector to fib_table)

[Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@redhat.com>]

This patch series is the rest of what I had planned for this kernel
release.  It adds a structure called key_vector which is embedded within
every tnode, leaf, and the trie root itself.  By doing this we can navigate
from any point within the trie to any other point fairly quickly and
avoiding NULL pointer checks in the case of a backtrace.  As a result we
can pipeline things a bit further since we don't have to worry about
dereferencing NULL in a backtrace.  This can amount to significant savings
on a long backtrace.

If needed these patches can be deferred/rebased depending on the needs of
the switchdev FIB offload work.
