Subject[PATCH] (1/5) Brlock removal - core
From
Date
This patch removes brlock from network receive core.  Packet type is
changed to an RCU list.

The netfilter code also uses RCU list. Had to recode/remove the
nf_iterate procedure to use list_for_each macro which was preferable to
propagating the RCU special stuff into this code.

Also added barrier() to avoid possible compiler optimization when a
reference to a hook could change between when it is tested and used.
