this is another pull request intended for net-next.
Here you have a batch of patches by Sven Eckelmann that drops our private reference counting implementation and substitutes it with the kref objects/functions.
Then you have a patch, by Simon Wunderlich, that makes the broadcast protection window code more generic so that it can be re-used in the future by other components with different requirements.
Lastly, Sven is also introducing two lockdep asserts in functions operating on our TVLV container list, to make sure that the proper lock is always acquired by the users.
Pulled, thanks Antonio.
