Infrastructure changes must be done as part of the patch that
needs the new feature bit. It might be that your feature bit is
not accepted as part of the review cycle, or a better alternative

Hi Stephan

I agree with what you are saying, but i also think there is no way to
avoid needing more feature bits. So even if the new feature bit itself
is rejected, the code to allow it could be useful.

I would rather passionately like to expand several old currently 16
bit fields in tc and iptables to 32 bits,
and break the 1000 user limitation we have in things like this:
