bonding: modify the old and add new xmit hash policies
This patch adds two new hash policy modes which use skb_flow_dissect:
3 - Encapsulated layer 2+3
4 - Encapsulated layer 3+4
There should be a good improvement for tunnel users in those modes.
It also changes the old hash functions to:
hash ^= (__force u32)flow.dst ^ (__force u32)flow.src;
hash ^= (hash >> 16);
hash ^= (hash >> 8);
Where hash will be initialized either to L2 hash, that is
SRCMAC[5] XOR DSTMAC[5], or to flow->ports which should be extracted
from the upper layer. Flow's dst and src are also extracted based on the
xmit policy either directly from the buffer or by using skb_flow_dissect,
but in both cases if the protocol is IPv6 then dst and src are obtained by
ipv6_addr_hash() on the real addresses. In case of a non-dissectable
packet, the algorithms fall back to L2 hashing.
The bond_set_mode_ops() function is now obsolete and thus deleted
because it was used only to set the proper hash policy. Also we trim a
pointer from struct bonding because we no longer need to keep the hash
function, now there's only a single hash function - bond_xmit_hash that
works based on bond->params.xmit_policy.
The hash function and skb_flow_dissect were suggested by Eric Dumazet.
The layer names were suggested by Andy Gospodarek, because I suck at
semantics.
