325ed82393 [NET]: Fix packet timestamping.
I've found the problem in general.  It affects any 64-bit
architecture.  The problem occurs when you change the system time.

Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day.
This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base.  You then wind the clock back
by a day.  From that point onwards the offset will be negative which
essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in.

In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit
variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while
yet.

When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course.

fbcd923c3e [NETFILTER]: add correct bridging support to nfnetlink_{queue,log}
This patch adds support for passing the real 'physical' device ifindex
down to userspace via nfnetlink_log and nfnetlink_queue.

This feature basically obsoletes net/bridge/netfilter/ebt_ulog.c, and
it is likely ebt_ulog.c will die with one of the next couple of
patches.

927ccbcc28 [NETFILTER]: attribute count is an attribute of message type, not subsytem
Prior to this patch, every nfnetlink subsystem had to specify it's
attribute count.  However, in reality the attribute count depends on
the message type within the subsystem, not the subsystem itself.  This
patch moves 'attr_count' from 'struct nfnetlink_subsys' into
nfnl_callback to fix this.

0597f2680d [NETFILTER]: Add new "nfnetlink_log" userspace packet logging facility
This is a generic (layer3 independent) version of what ipt_ULOG is already
doing for IPv4 today.  ipt_ULOG, ebt_ulog and finally also ip[6]t_LOG will
be deprecated by this mechanism in the long term.
