Hi Dave,
as requested circa two weeks ago, I am now resending the first chunk of the
feature-negotiation patch set.
These patches are identical to the earlier submission.
Can you please let me know when it would be okay to submit the next
instalment of this series.

Commit summary
--------------
This is the first set of the feature negotiation patches. These provide a
self-contained feature negotiation API for the DCCP protocol (RFC 4340-2).
The whole set is structured into 3 main blocks - (1) basis, (2) core,
(3) integration and cleanup. Within these blocks, this is the first,
self-contained, set and its purpose is to provide
(a) the underlying datastructures
(b) initialisation and cleanup routines for the new datastructures.
List of patches in this set:
----------------------------
Patch #1: Provides the basic datastructure for feature negotiation. It gets
around the problem that feature-negotiation values have no uniform
type - they can be 48-bit numbers, single characters, 2-byte integers
or a list of unsigned chars.
Patch #2: Provides a lookup-table for the different negotiable features.
Patch #3: Adds list management for the list keeping the negotiation-options.
Patch #4: Initialisation routines (for request sockets and normal sockets).
Patch #5: Analogous to #4, this provides the cleanup routines.
The set is also available for viewing online, beginning at
