main change:
* greatly improve per-NIC probe diagnostic output. Similar to other
net drivers, print out MAC address, PHY info, and various hardware and
software flags that may be relevant.
other changes:
* similar to other net drivers, only print the initial version message
when we have found at least one board.
* don't bother to print error message when pci_enable_device() fails,
it will do so for us.
* use dev_printk() rather than printk() in nv_probe(). This gives
use a standardized output similar to the rest of the kernel, and
eliminates the need to manually print out PCI bus id.

* We add ebitmap_for_each_positive_bit() which enables to walk on
any positive bit on the given ebitmap, to improve its performance
using common bit-operations defined in linux/bitops.h.
In the previous version, this logic was implemented using a combination
of ebitmap_for_each_bit() and ebitmap_node_get_bit(), but is was worse
in performance aspect.
This logic is most frequestly used to compute a new AVC entry,
so this patch can improve SELinux performance when AVC misses are happen.
* struct ebitmap_node is redefined as an array of "unsigned long", to get
suitable for using find_next_bit() which is fasted than iteration of
shift and logical operation, and to maximize memory usage allocated
from general purpose slab.
* Any ebitmap_for_each_bit() are repleced by the new implementation
in ss/service.c and ss/mls.c. Some of related implementation are
changed, however, there is no incompatibility with the previous
version.
* The width of any new line are less or equal than 80-chars.
The following benchmark shows the effect of this patch, when we
access many files which have different security context one after
another. The number is more than /selinux/avc/cache_threshold, so
any access always causes AVC misses.

SELinux: policy selectable handling of unknown classes and perms
Allow policy to select, in much the same way as it selects MLS support, how
the kernel should handle access decisions which contain either unknown
classes or unknown permissions in known classes. The three choices for the
policy flags are
0 - Deny unknown security access. (default)
2 - reject loading policy if it does not contain all definitions
4 - allow unknown security access
The policy's choice is exported through 2 booleans in
selinuxfs. /selinux/deny_unknown and /selinux/reject_unknown.

Firewire-sbp2 did very uncooperative things in the kernel's shared
workqueue: Sleeping until reception of management status from the
target for up to 2 seconds, and performing SCSI inquiry and all of the

transient or permanent error conditions, this caused long blockage of

We now allocate a workqueue process exclusive to fw-sbp2. As a side
