Hi, Russell and Ben. I submitted another patch @ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/657589/ , it's a only rename table Address_Set version. Since we only have address set supported for now, so I didn't renames and changes variables and methods used for address set. I hope this can get merged recently, and I don't get misunderstand on Russell's suggestion. Thanks.
