This patch adds a rhastable for mac address lookup of hwsim radios. This especially improve the speed on reception of a netlink message with a new frame. Although redundant, we keep holding a normal list for all radios, since the rhashtable_walk interface adds a lot of overhead for iterating over all radios and the doc of rhashtable recommend a redundant structure for stable walks in such situations. Since rhashtable is rcu protected we do not need a lock for delivering frames and thus improving this scenario.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
