Currently netmasks at set creation, for those sets which have support for it, are limited to cidr values. This patch set extends that to also allow for conventional netmask values and wildcard masks. We have found numerous uses for wildcard masks and have this support deployed on our network. This set adds this new netmask support to the ipset hash type infrastructure and enables it for hash:ip and hash:ip,port set types. I plan to extend it to other set types in the future. These changes are only the kernel side. I will send a separate set for userspace.
