Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/6] net: ILA resolver and generic resolver backend

This patch sets implements an ILA host side resolver. This uses LWT to
implement the hook to a userspace resolver and tracks pending unresolved
address using the backend net resolver.

This patch set contains:

- An new library function to allocate an array of spinlocks for use
  with locking hash buckets.
- Make hash function in rhashtable directly callable.
- A generic resolver backend infrastructure. This primary does two
  things: track unsesolved addresses and implement a timeout for
  resolution not happening. These mechanisms provides rate limiting
  control over resolution requests (for instance in ILA it use used
  to rate limit requests to userspace to resolve addresses).
- The ILA resolver. This is implements to path from the kernel ILA
  implementation to a userspace daemon that an identifier address
  needs to be resolved.

Tom Herbert (6):
  spinlock: Add library function to allocate spinlock buckets array
  rhashtable: Call library function alloc_bucket_locks
  ila: Call library function alloc_bucket_locks
  rhashtable: abstract out function to get hash
  net: Generic resolver backend
  ila: Resolver mechanism
