This patch adds the new type of block ciphers. Unlike current cipher
algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers
operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data. As it is block-based,
it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block.
The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing
block cipher implementation. The sg walking is now performed by the
algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer. This is needed for drivers
that directly support sg lists. It also improves performance for all
algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one.

a single-block interface. This will be done after all existing users
have switched over to the new block cipher type.

[OPENPROMIO]: Handle current_node being NULL correctly.
If the user tries to traverse to the next node of the
last node, we get NULL in current_node and a zero phandle
returned. That's fine, but if the user tries to obtain
properties in that state, we try to dereference a NULL
pointer in the downcall to the of_*() routines.
So protect against that.

This turns out to be a genuine bug. The queue lock and xmit lock are
intentionally taken out of order. Two things are supposed to prevent
dead-locks from occuring:
1) When we hold the queue_lock we're supposed to only do try_lock on the
tx_lock.
2) We always drop the queue_lock after taking the tx_lock and before doing
anything else.

This path obviously breaks assumption 1) and therefore can lead to ABBA
dead-locks.
I've looked at the history and there seems to be no reason for the lock
to be held at all in dev_watchdog_up. The lock appeared in day one and
even there it was unnecessary. In fact, people added __dev_watchdog_up
precisely in order to get around the tx lock there.
The function dev_watchdog_up is already serialised by rtnl_lock since
its only caller dev_activate is always called under it.
So here is a simple patch to remove the tx lock from dev_watchdog_up.
In 2.6.19 we can eliminate the unnecessary __dev_watchdog_up and
replace it with dev_watchdog_up.

[NETFILTER]: Add secmark headers to header-y
This patch includes xt_SECMARK.h and xt_CONNSECMARK.h to the kernel
headers which are exported via 'make headers_install'. This is needed to

Please apply, and consider for inclusion with 2.6.18 as a bugfix.

This patch should add support for -1 as "default" IPv6 traffic class,
as specified in IETF RFC3542 ยง6.5. Within the kernel, it seems tclass

won't accept it from userland.

neigh_table_clear() doesn't free tbl->stats.
Found by Alexey Kuznetsov. Though Alexey considers this
leak minor for mainstream, I still believe that cleanup
code should not forget to free some of the resources :)
At least, this is critical for OpenVZ with virtualized
neighbour tables.
