The enclosed patch removes the traces of CONFIG_NET_ALIAS which is not
used any long. Andi Kleen assures me that removing it is the right thing
to do.

-Network aliasing
-CONFIG_NET_ALIAS
- If you say Y here, you will be able to set multiple network
- addresses on the same low-level network device driver. This is
- typically used for services that act differently based on the
- address they listen on (e.g. "multihosting" or "virtual domains" or
- "virtual hosting services" on the web server apache and the ftp
- server wuftpd -- read the Virtual-Services-HOWTO, available via FTP
- (user: anonymous) from ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO)
- or for connecting to different logical networks through the same
- physical interface (most commonly an Ethernet networking card). See
- Documentation/networking/alias.txt for more info.
-
- This is the generic part, later when configuring network protocol
- options you will be asked for protocol-specific aliasing support,
- and you will have to say Y to at least one of them, most likely to
- "IP: aliasing support". If you need this feature (for any protocol,
- like IP) say Y; if unsure, say N.

Socket filtering
CONFIG_FILTER
The Linux Socket Filter is derived from the Berkeley Packet Filter.
