[LIB]: Boyer-Moore extension for textsearch infrastructure strike #2
Attached the implementation of the Boyer-Moore string search algorithm for the new textsearch infrastructure. I've added as well a note about the limitations that this approach presents, as Thomas has remarked. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@eurodev.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

+ * http://www-igm.univ-mlv.fr/~lecroq/string/string.pdf
+ *
+ * Note: Since Boyer-Moore (BM) performs searches for matchings from right
+ * to left, it's still possible that a matching could be spread over
+ * multiple blocks, in that case this algorithm won't find any coincidence.
+ *
+ * If you're willing to ensure that such thing won't ever happen, use the
+ * Knuth-Pratt-Morris (KMP) implementation instead. In conclusion, choose
+ * the proper string search algorithm depending on your setting.
+ *
+ * Say you're using the textsearch infrastructure for filtering, NIDS or
+ * any similar security focused purpose, then go KMP. Otherwise, if you
+ * really care about performance, say you're classifying packets to apply
+ * Quality of Service (QoS) policies, and you don't mind about possible
+ * matchings spread over multiple fragments, then go BM.
