Chris Friesen 9643f45512 ipv4: teach ipconfig about the MTU option in DHCP
The DHCP spec allows the server to specify the MTU.  This can be useful
for netbooting with UDP-based NFS-root on a network using jumbo frames.
This patch allows the kernel IP autoconfiguration to handle this option
correctly.

It would be possible to use initramfs and add a script to set the MTU,
but that seems like a complicated solution if no initramfs is otherwise
necessary, and would bloat the kernel image more than this code would.

This patch was originally submitted to LKML in 2003 by Hans-Peter Jansen.
