Currently, a copy of the Rx packet header is copied into the the sk_buff
private data so that we can advance the pointer into the buffer,
potentially discarding the original. At the moment, this copy is held in
network byte order, but this means we're doing a lot of unnecessary
translations.
The reasons it was done this way are that we need the values in network
byte order occasionally and we can use the copy, slightly modified, as part
of an iov array when sending an ack or an abort packet.
However, it seems more reasonable on review that it would be better kept in
host byte order and that we make up a new header when we want to send
another packet.
To this end, rename the original header struct to rxrpc_wire_header (with
BE fields) and institute a variant called rxrpc_host_header that has host
order fields. Change the struct in the sk_buff private data into an
rxrpc_host_header and translate the values when filling it in.
This further allows us to keep values kept in various structures in host
byte order rather than network byte order and allows removal of some fields
that are byteswapped duplicates.

Some netfilter code and rxrpc one use seq_open() to open
a proc file, but seq_release_private to release one.
This is harmless, but ambiguous.

This includes /proc/net/protocols, /proc/net/rxrpc_calls and
/proc/net/rxrpc_connections files.
All three need seq_list_start_head to show some header.

Make the call state names array available even if CONFIG_PROC_FS is
disabled as it's used in other places (such as debugging statements)
too.

Provide AF_RXRPC sockets that can be used to talk to AFS servers, or serve
answers to AFS clients. KerberosIV security is fully supported. The patches
and some example test programs can be found in:
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/
This will eventually replace the old implementation of kernel-only RxRPC
currently resident in net/rxrpc/.
