Subject: [PATCH 4/5] netfilter: ipvs: Add configurations of Maglev hashing

From: Inju Song <inju.song@...ercorp.com>

To build the maglev hashing scheduler, add some configuration
to Kconfig and Makefile.

 - The compile configurations of MH are added to the Kconfig.

 - The MH build rule is added to the Makefile.

+	---help---
+	  The maglev consistent hashing scheduling algorithm provides the
+	  Google's Maglev hashing algorithm as a IPVS scheduler. It assigns
+	  network connections to the servers through looking up a statically
+	  assigned special hash table called the lookup table. Maglev hashing
+	  is to assign a preference list of all the lookup table positions
+	  to each destination.
+
+	  Through this operation, The maglev hashing gives an almost equal
+	  share of the lookup table to each of the destinations and provides
+	  minimal disruption by using the lookup table. When the set of
+	  destinations changes, a connection will likely be sent to the same
+	  destination as it was before.
+
+	  If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y. To compile it as a
+	  module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

+	  The maglev hashing scheduler maps source IPs to destinations

+	  65521 or 131071. When using weights to allow destinations to
+	  receive more connections, the table is assigned an amount
