This patchset is a first step to implement full concatenation support.
It adds support to specify concat types in set declarations and to
reconstruct the proper type from the data stored in the kernel.
The changes consist of:
* generate proper names for the concat types for use in error reporting
* don't use ->size to store the number of subtypes, the size will be
needed to hold the entire concatenated data size, which may include
padding
* change concat_type_alloc() to construct the type from the numeric id
* change the grammar to support concat type specification
The next step will be to change register addressing to 4 byte register
size and support loads and stores to spawn multiple registers. Patches
for this will follow shorly.
Patrick McHardy (6):
datatype: generate name for concat types
datatype: add new subtypes field to account number of concat data types
datatype: add define for maximum number of bits and mask of datatype id
utils: add fls()
datatype: change concat_type_alloc() to construct type from id
parser: alloc specifying concat types in set declarations
