This patchset enables to hash more policies than just non-prefixed ones: hash policies whose prefix lengths are greater or equal to configurable thresholds. These thresholds are configured via netlink message XFRM_MSG_NEWSPDINFO, attributes XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH and XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH. The related iproute2 patch for configuring the thresholds is available on demand.
Since this is not urgent, and a new feature, I'll let Steffen review this when he gets back.
