Compared to the previous code there will be a branch to get the
global pointer so the code will be slightly slower than the previous
version but it allows us to start creating objects but still use
the code from C. It is best approach I have found so far.
One downside of C++ is that by default talloc will not be used
(unless we override the new operator to use talloc. Right now
we need to memset the C data structure by hand. The benefit of
enforcing a better structure should is more important though.
It is mandatory to support it because MS may request a single block.
In this case the network must assign a single block.
It is possible to force single block allocation for all uplink requests
on RACH. (VTY option)
If lifetime expires of queued LLC frames, they are discarded. The number
of discarded frames and the sum of their octets are reported to SGSN
via LLC-DISCARDED message.
The lifetime can be overridden via VTY. The value can be centi-seconds
or "infinite".
