Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next] net: reorder struct netns_ct for better
cache-line usage
Reorder struct netns_ct so that atomic_t "count" changes don't
slowdown users of read mostly fields.
This is based on Eric Dumazet's proposed patch:
"netfilter: conntrack: remove the central spinlock"
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/268758/focus=47306
The tricky part of cache-aligning this structure, that it is getting
inlined in struct net (include/net/net_namespace.h), thus changes to
other netns_xxx structures affects our alignment.
Eric's original patch contained an ambiguity on 32-bit regarding
alignment in struct net. This patch also takes 32-bit into account,
and in case of changed (struct net) alignment sysctl_xxx entries have
been ordered according to how often they are accessed.

Yes, I know it's not the time to submit this patch, but
I just want to let Eric know that I'm planning on extracting
part of his proposed patch, which have been stalled for months.
I'll resubmit once net-next/nf-next opens for changes again.
