Subject: [RFT 0/3] netfilter: lock free tables

This is the "swap" version of lock less iptables counter update.
It gets rid of the expensive reader/writer lock and uses RCU
and swapping to accomplish the same thing.

Patches are against current net-next tree.
It is not ready for inclusion until it is tested by others who
actually use iptables heavily.
