[Babel-users] Please test master

[Dave Taht]

I tested the babel-1.8.3 release under some extreme loads, with 90
routes present (30 ipv6 total), on 4 intel x86_64 arches yesterday. It
worked on net-next, 4.9, and 4.14 based kernels.

I also discussed issues with tim (cc'd) was having on his raspberri pi
(arm) based version. He seems to have got a much stabler result after
reverting to 1.7.1. What I observed while watching his version "break"
was that the metrics would inflate a little bit, 2-3 times, and then
go unreachable, even with other valid alternate routes present. That
was on kernel ? and kernel ?.

Another difference between our setups is I always use timestamps.

I'm going to go load mine up with more routes and add an arm box or
three back into my mix. but perhaps there's issues on arm with 1.8.x?
