Add a new interface for mapping data to a given id range (max_id), and back again. It uses xarray as the id allocator and for finding a given id. For locking it uses xa_lock (spin_lock) for add()/del(), and rcu_read_lock for find(). This mapping interface also supports delaying the mapping removal via a workqueue. This is for cases where we need the mapping to have some grace period in regards to finding it back again, for example for packets arriving from hardware that were marked with by a rule with an old mapping that no longer exists.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
