Subject: net-next-2.6 [PATCH 0/7] dccp: add support for dynamic parameter updates

Hi Dave,

please find attached a 2-part patch set to implement features required by the RFCs:

 a) exchange of "non-negotiable" (NN) feature options (RFC 4340, 6.3.2), which are
    used to dynamically update known parameters during an established connection;
 b) use of this new API to improve the current state of the CCID-2 (RFC 4341)
    implementation for updating Ack Ratio and Sequence Window features.

Both sets are thanks to the good work done by Samuel Jero.    

General DCCP part:
 Patch #1: introduces sender-signalling part for exchange of NN options.
 Patch #2: implements the receiver-side and activation part for NN options.
 Patch #3: bug-fix to send Confirm options in the RFC-specified manner.

CCID-2 part: 
 Patch #4: adds initial code for CCID-2 Ack Ratio exchange.
 Patch #5: fixes issues with cwnd/Sequence Window relationship in CCID-2. 
 Patch #6: fixes a bug in incrementing the cwnd of CCID-2.
 Patch #7: fixes a bug in updating Ack Ratio relative to cwnd in CCID-2.

I have also placed this in into a fresh (today's) copy of net-next-2.6, on
