Hi,
This set continues with the minor cleanups in the first 6 patches and
patch 7 adds the first new feature - MFC manipulation via netlink.
Hi Nikolay

Great to see somebody working on multicast.

Do you have any plans to remove the 32 VIF limit?

I've run out if VIFs on a VPN server with lots of clients. I took the
"quick fix" of recompiling the kernel and userspace with 256 VIFs. But
it would be nice if you could define a netlink API which does not have
this limit and modify the core code to be more dynamic.
