[IPROUTE]: Fix struct alignment with cris architecture

gcc for the cris arch does not pad structures to the next multiple of 4
bytes, as the i386 gcc does.

This causes errors like this when displaying xfrm policies:

# ip x p
!!!Deficit 3, rta_len=300
src 192.168.251.32/29 dst 192.168.251.32/29
        dir in priority 0
!!!Deficit 3, rta_len=180
src 0.0.0.0/0 dst 192.168.251.32/29
        dir in priority 2208
....

Similar errors are seen from ip x s.

This patch fixes the errors when printing. I'm not sure whether we
should worry about other uses of the affected structs, I've not seen any
other bad effects from this though, so hopefully this is enough.

(Thanks to Herbert Xu for pointing out that NLMSG_SPACE is the correct
macro to use here.)

Tested against 2.6.17.6 kernel on i386, and 2.6.16.1 kernel on cris.

[IPROUTE]: Add support for larger number of routing tables

Support support for 2^32 routing tables by using the new RTA_TABLE
attribute for specifying tables > 255 and intepreting it if it is
sent by the kernel.

When tables > 255 are used on a kernel not supporting it an error will
occur because of the unknown netlink attribute.

[IPROUTE]: Preparation for 32 bit table IDs

The route table filter uses an integer for the table number and the value
-1 to represent cloned routes. For 32 bit table IDs it needs to become an
unsigned, so this won't work anymore. Introduce a new filter flag "cloned"
and use instead of filter.tb = -1.

and have rtm_table == RT_TABLE_LOCAL with multiple tables) and handle it
like other protocols.

Stephen,

Heres another on top of the others i sent. If you get the time, can
update your git tree with these patches?
If you are planning to make a release soon, please ping me - I have at
least one more patch that i need to work on.

cheers,

Update mirred usage to fix a bug noticed by
Andy Furniss <lists@andyfurniss.entadsl.com>
Also make it a little more readable.

	use C99 initialization to match rtnetlink.h

About two more or so to complete these..

Stephen,

I apologize for the last patch I sent not applying cleanly to the latest
iproute2 sources.  I realized that this might impede any
review/acceptance of the patch and created a separate patch against the
20060323 build of iproute2, which seems to be the latest (by looking at
the website).

The previous patch wouldn't apply cleanly due to the label of the
ssthresh argument being corrected from REALMS to NUMBER.

Please let us know if there is any other information or assistance we
can be with this patch submission.

Thanks
Vince

new entries in the neighbor/arp table. For example, this command will
fail:

An IPoIB link layer address is 20-bytes (see
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipoib-ip-over-infiniband-09.txt,
section 9.1.1).

The command line parsing code expects link layer addresses to be a
maximum of 16-bytes. Addresses over 16-bytes are truncated.
