Hi,

This patchset contains updates to the transaction infrastructure and a new
batch API to userspace to update tables, chains and sets. Basically, it
generalises the existing rule batching so we can also include sets, chains and
tables in one single batch. This helps to speed up updates since we save many
netlink messages between kernel and userspace and this also improves several
batch loading error cases that resulted in inconsistent configurations.

Still, this patchset doesn't address the abortion of chain policy/counter
updates and new set elements addition/removals. Basically, this means that we
don't have atomic set element updates yet, but that wasn't possible with the
former API either.
