====================
An RFC was sent last weekend to kick-off the discussion of the
introduction of CAN XL: [1] for the kernel side and [2] for the
iproute2 interface. While the series received some positive feedback,
it is far from completion. Some work is still needed to:
- adjust the nesting of the IFLA_CAN_XL_DATA_BITTIMING_CONST in the
netlink interface
- add the CAN XL PWM configuration
and this TODO list may grow if more feedback is received.
Regardless of this, the RFC started with a set of trivial patches to
do some clean-up and some renaming in preparation of the introduction
of CAN XL.
This series just contains those preparation patches which were cherry
picked from the RFC.
The goal is to have those merged first to remove some overhead from
the netlink CAN XL main series before tacking care of the other
comments.

Compatibility
-------------
A new release of iproute2 is done with each kernel version, but
there is a wide range of compatibility. Newer versions of iproute2
will still work with older kernels, but there are some limitations.
If an iproute2 command with a new feature is used with an older
kernel, the kernel may report an error or silently ignore the new
attribute. Likewise if older iproute2 is used with an newer kernel,
it is not possible to use or see new features. The range of
compatibility extends back as far as the oldest supported Long Term
Support (LTS) kernel version.
How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm
arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package.
2. make
The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.
3. include/uapi
This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
if you have special requirements and need to point at different
kernel include files.
