Stefano Brivio eb16933aa5 nft_set_pipapo: Prepare for single ranged field usage
A few adjustments in nft_pipapo_init() are needed to allow usage of
this set back-end for a single, ranged field.

Provide a convenient NFT_PIPAPO_MIN_FIELDS definition that currently
makes sure that the rbtree back-end is selected instead, for sets
with a single field.

This finally allows a fair comparison with rbtree sets, by defining
NFT_PIPAPO_MIN_FIELDS as 0 and skipping rbtree back-end initialisation:

README

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.
