    Add a SPD cache to speed up lookups. · f8e73c47
    Fabien Thomas authored
    When large SPDs are used, we face two problems:
    
    - too many CPU cycles are spent during the linear searches in the SPD
      for each packet
    - too much contention on multi socket systems, since we use a single
      shared lock.
    
    Main changes:
    
    - added the sysctl tree 'net.key.spdcache' to control the SPD cache
      (disabled by default).
    - cache the sp indexes that are used to perform SP lookups.
    - use a range of dedicated mutexes to protect the cache lines.
