The reader/writer lock in ip_tables is acquired in the critical path of
processing packets and is one of the reasons just loading iptables can cause
a 20% performance loss. The rwlock serves two functions:

1) it prevents changes to table state (xt_replace) while table is in use.
   This is now handled by doing rcu on the xt_table. When table is
   replaced, the new table(s) are put in and the old one table(s) are freed
   after RCU period.

2) it provides synchronization when accesing the counter values.
   This is now handled by swapping in new table_info entries for each cpu
   then summing the old values, and putting the result back onto one
   cpu.  On a busy system it may cause sampling to occur at different
   times on each cpu, but no packet/byte counts are lost in the process.

Similarly to commit c9fd4968, merge
TTL and HL. Since HL does not depend on any IPv6-specific function,
no new module dependencies would arise.

With slight adjustments to the Kconfig help text.

x86 and powerpc can perform long word accesses in an efficient maner.
We can use this to unroll two loops in arp_packet_match(), to
perform arithmetic on long words instead of bytes. This is a win
on x86_64 for example.
