> Create a single TLV parameter table that holds meta information for IPv6
> Hop-by-Hop and Destination TLVs. The data structure is composed of a 256
> element array of u8's (one entry for each TLV type to allow O(1) lookup).
> Each entry provides an offset into an array of TLV proc data structures which
> follows the array of u8s. The TLV proc data structure contains parameters and
> handler functions for receiving and transmitting TLVs. The zeroth element in
> the TLV proc array provides default parameters for TLVs.
> 
> A class attribute indicates the type of extension header in which the TLV may
> be used (e.g. Hop-by-Hop options, Destination options, or Destination
> options before the routing header).
> 
> Functions are defined to manipulate entries in the TLV parameter table.
> 
> * tlv_{set|unset}_proc set a TLV proc entry (ops and parameters)
> * tlv_{set|unset}_params set parameters only
> 
> Receive TLV lookup and processing is modified to be a lookup in the TLV
> parameter table. An init table containing parameters for TLVs supported by
> the kernel is used to initialize the TLV table.
