I guessed from the name and other uses that __constant_htons() is just
a version of htons() optimized for values that are constant at compile

I think the __constant one is for initializations. All I know is that someone (Stephen Hemminger?) always points this out in other patchsets, so I beat him to it.

So why can't you just create one ip_vs_debug_packet_v6() instead of these ah
and esp ones which are identical?

If you look at the original files, the whole ip_vs_proto_ah.c and
ip_vs_proto_esp.c are 100% identical except for the protocol names /
constants :-/ So I stuck with this pattern for now. Maybe it would
make sense to join those two files in a change separate from the v6
functionality? There's already a lot of duplication in the existing
IPVS that could be removed...

I didn't look too closely, there's a lot of patches! :) Doing it in a separate patch is probably a good idea though.
