Documentation/networking/ is full of cryptically named files with
driver documentation. This makes finding interesting information
at a glance really hard. Move all those files into a directory
called device_drivers (since not all drivers are for device) and
fix up references.
RFC v0.1 -> RFC v1:
- also add .txt suffix to the files which are missing it (Quentin)

TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option or sysctl was added in linux-3.12
as a step to enable bigger tcp sndbuf limits.
It works reasonably well, but the following happens :
Once the limit is reached, TCP stack generates
an [E]POLLOUT event for every incoming ACK packet.
This causes a high number of context switches.
This patch implements the strategy David Miller added
in sock_def_write_space() :
- If TCP socket has a notsent_lowat constraint of X bytes,
allow sendmsg() to fill up to X bytes, but send [E]POLLOUT
only if number of notsent bytes is below X/2
This considerably reduces TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT overhead,
while allowing to keep the pipe full.

It's possible to set a tunnel without a destination port. However,
on dump(), a zero dst port is returned to user space even if it was not
set, fix that.
Note that so far it wasn't required, b/c key less tunnels were not
supported and the UDP tunnels do require destination port.

Allow setting a tunnel without a tunnel key. This is required for
tunneling protocols, such as GRE, that define the key as an optional
field.
