Hi,
This patch updates the mangle action representation:
Patch 1) Undo bitwise NOT operation on the mangle mask (coming from tc
pedit userspace).
Patch 2) mangle value &= mask from the front-end side.
Patch 3) adjust offset, length and coalesce consecutive actions.
Patch 4) add payload mangling for netfilter.
After this patchset:
* Offsets do not need to be on the 32-bits boundaries anymore. This
patchset adds front-end code to adjust the offset and length coming
from the tc pedit representation, so drivers get an exact header field
offset and length.
* The front-end coalesces consecutive pedit actions into one single
word, so drivers can mangle IPv6 and ethernet address fields in one
single go.
On the driver side, diffstat -t shows that drivers code to deal with
payload mangling gets simplified:

While, on the front-end side the balance is the following:
122,21,0,net/sched/cls_api.c (+101 LOC)
Please, apply.
P.S: This patchset comes after the "netfilter: payload mangling offload
support" series, although it has been heavily reworked.
