There are a number of things that are more-or-less general to flows
which are still explicitly handled in tcp.c and tcp_splice.c including
allocation and freeing of flow entries, and dispatch of deferred and
timer functions.

Even without adding more fields to the common flow structure, we can
handle a number of these in a more flow-centric way.

Unlike v1 this version is based on the hash table rework series.

Changes since v3:
 * Rebased on current tree, plus patches for some test failures
 * Renamed "free blocks" to "free clusters" in flow allocation scheme
 * Fixed bug where we wouldn't properly merge adjacent free clusters
   together during deferred handling
 * Improved theory of operation comments about flow allocation scheme
Changes since v2:
 * Realised the prealloc/commit functions where confusing and worked
   poorly for some future stuff.  Replaced with alloc/alloc_cancel
 * Fixed a bug where newly allocated flow entries might not be
   0-filled, because of the free tracking information in there.  This
   could cause very subtle problems.
Changes since v1:
 * Store the timestamp of last flow timers run in a global, rather
   than a ctx field
 * Rebased on the TCP hash table rework
 * Add patches 9..13/13 with changes to allocation and freeing of flow
   entries.

David Gibson (13):
  flow: Make flow_table.h #include the protocol specific headers it
    needs
  treewide: Standardise on 'now' for current timestamp variables
  tcp, tcp_splice: Remove redundant handling from tcp_timer()
  tcp, tcp_splice: Move per-type cleanup logic into per-type helpers
  flow, tcp: Add flow-centric dispatch for deferred flow handling
  flow, tcp: Add handling for per-flow timers
  epoll: Better handling of number of epoll types
  tcp, tcp_splice: Avoid double layered dispatch for connected TCP
    sockets
  flow: Move flow_log_() to near top of flow.c
  flow: Move flow_count from context structure to a global
  flow: Abstract allocation of new flows with helper function
  flow: Enforce that freeing of closed flows must happen in deferred
    handlers
  flow: Avoid moving flow entries to compact table
