keepalived uses kernel features that have been introduced over time,
but in order to still allow keepalived to be built and run on older
kernel versions it has many checks of what kernel features are available.
Set out below in chronological order are the features that have been added
to Linux that keepalived makes use of if they are available.
If in doubt about features, grep the source tree searching for "Linux". The
source (including configure.ac) attempts to document which kernel version
introduced features that are used conditionally.
At the end of this file is a list of kernel configure options that affect
functionality that keepalived uses.
