[CORE] Stack changes to add multiqueue hardware support API
Add the multiqueue hardware device support API to the core network
stack. Allow drivers to allocate multiple queues and manage them at
the netdev level if they choose to do so.
Added a new field to sk_buff, namely queue_mapping, for drivers to
know which tx_ring to select based on OS classification of the flow.

[L2TP]: PPP over L2TP driver core
This driver handles only L2TP data frames; control frames are handled
by a userspace application. It implements L2TP using the PPPoX socket
family. There is a PPPoX socket for each L2TP session in an L2TP
tunnel. PPP data within each session is passed through the kernel's
PPP subsystem via this driver. Kernel parameters of each socket can be
read or modified using ioctl() or [gs]etsockopt() calls.

[UDP]: Introduce UDP encapsulation type for L2TP
This patch adds a new UDP_ENCAP_L2TPINUDP encapsulation type for UDP
sockets. When a UDP socket's encap_type is UDP_ENCAP_L2TPINUDP, the
skb is delivered to a function pointed to by the udp_sock's
encap_rcv funcptr. If the skb isn't wanted by L2TP, it returns >0, which
causes it to be passed through to UDP.
Include padding to put the new encap_rcv field on a 4-byte boundary.
Previously, the only user of UDP encap sockets was ESP, so when
CONFIG_XFRM was not defined, some of the encap code was compiled
out. This patch changes that. As a result, udp_encap_rcv() will
now do a little more work when CONFIG_XFRM is not defined.

We may discuss XFRM, MH (RAW socket) and ancillary data/sockopt
separately for future work.
Loadable features:
* MH receiving check (to send ICMP error back)
* RO header parsing and building (i.e. RH2 and HAO in DSTOPTS)
* XFRM policy/state database handling for RO
These are NOT covered as loadable:
* Home Address flags and its rule on source address selection
* XFRM sub policy (depends on its own kernel option)
* XFRM functions to receive RO as IPv6 extension header
* MH sending/receiving through raw socket if user application
opens it (since raw socket allows to do so)

[SKBUFF]: Keep track of writable header len of headerless clones
Currently NAT (and others) that want to modify cloned skbs copy them,
even if in the vast majority of cases its not necessary because the
skb is a clone made by TCP and the portion NAT wants to modify is
actually writable because TCP release the header reference before
cloning.
The problem is that there is no clean way for NAT to find out how
long the writable header area is, so this patch introduces skb->hdr_len
to hold this length. When a headerless skb is cloned skb->hdr_len
is set to the current headroom, for regular clones it is copied from
the original. A new function skb_clone_writable(skb, len) returns
whether the skb is writable up to len bytes from skb->data. To avoid
enlarging the skb the mac_len field is reduced to 16 bit and the
new hdr_len field is put in the remaining 16 bit.
I've done a few rough benchmarks of NAT (not with this exact patch,
but a very similar one). As expected it saves huge amounts of system
time in case of sendfile, bringing it down to basically the same
amount as without NAT, with sendmsg it only helps on loopback,
probably because of the large MTU.

[NET]: qdisc_restart - couple of optimizations.
Changes :
- netif_queue_stopped need not be called inside qdisc_restart as
it has been called already in qdisc_run() before the first skb
is sent, and in __qdisc_run() after each intermediate skb is
sent (note : we are the only sender, so the queue cannot get
stopped while the tx lock was got in the ~LLTX case).
- BUG_ON((int) q->q.qlen < 0) was a relic from old times when -1
meant more packets are available, and __qdisc_run used to loop
when qdisc_restart() returned -1. During those days, it was
necessary to make sure that qlen is never less than zero, since
__qdisc_run would get into an infinite loop if no packets are on
the queue and this bug in qdisc was there (and worse - no more
skbs could ever get queue'd as we hold the queue lock too). With
Herbert's recent change to return values, this check is not
required. Hopefully Herbert can validate this change. If at all
this is required, it should be added to skb_dequeue (in failure
case), and not to qdisc_qlen.

[NET]: qdisc_restart - readability changes plus one bug fix.
New changes :
- Incorporated Peter Waskiewicz's comments.
- Re-added back one warning message (on driver returning wrong value).
Previous changes :
- Converted to use switch/case code which looks neater.
- "if (ret == NETDEV_TX_LOCKED && lockless)" is buggy, and the lockless
check should be removed, since driver will return NETDEV_TX_LOCKED only
if lockless is true and driver has to do the locking. In the original
code as well as the latest code, this code can result in a bug where
if LLTX is not set for a driver (lockless == 0) but the driver is written
wrongly to do a trylock (despite LLTX being set), the driver returns
LOCKED. But since lockless is zero, the packet is requeue'd instead of
calling collision code which will issue warning and free up the skb.
Instead this skb will be retried with this driver next time, and the same
result will ensue. Removing this check will catch these driver bugs instead
of hiding the problem. I am keeping this change to readability section
since :
a. it is confusing to check two things as it is; and
b. it is difficult to keep this check in the changed 'switch' code.
- Changed some names, like try_get_tx_pkt to dev_dequeue_skb (as that is
the work being done and easier to understand) and do_dev_requeue to
dev_requeue_skb, merged handle_dev_cpu_collision and tx_islocked to
dev_handle_collision (handle_dev_cpu_collision is a small routine with only
one caller, so there is no need to have two separate routines which also
results in getting rid of two macros, etc.
- Removed an XXX comment as it should never fail (I suspect this was related
to batch skb WIP, Jamal ?). Converted some functions to original coding
style of having the return values and the function name on same line, eg
prio2list.

Documentation/block/barrier.txt is not in sync with the actual code: - blk_queue_ordered() no longer has a gfp_mask parameter - blk_queue_ordered_locked() no longer exists - sd_prepare_flush() looks slightly different
Use list_for_each_entry() instead of list_for_each() in the block device
Make a "menuconfig" out of the Kconfig objects "menu, ..., endmenu",
block/Kconfig already has its own "menuconfig" so remove these
Use menuconfigs instead of menus, so the whole menu can be disabled at once

This is the third submission of the network driver for PS3.
The differences from the previous one are:
- renamed source file names so that their prefix can match
with the module name
- added cbe-oss-dev@ozlabs.org line for MAINTAINER file
- changed some in copyright comments
If there are no more comments, please apply for 2.6.23.
Thank you

bonding / ipv6: no addrconf for slaves separately from master
At present, when a device is enslaved to bonding, if ipv6 is
active then addrconf will be initated on the slave (because it is closed
then opened during the enslavement processing). This causes DAD and RS
packets to be sent from the slave. These packets in turn can confuse
switches that perform ipv6 snooping, causing them to incorrectly update
their forwarding tables (if, e.g., the slave being added is an inactve
backup that won't be used right away) and direct traffic away from the
active slave to a backup slave (where the incoming packets will be
dropped).
This patch alters the behavior so that addrconf will only run on
the master device itself. I believe this is logically correct, as it
prevents slaves from having an IPv6 identity independent from the
master. This is consistent with the IPv4 behavior for bonding.
This is accomplished by (a) having bonding set IFF_SLAVE sooner
in the enslavement processing than currently occurs (before open, not
after), and (b) having ipv6 addrconf ignore UP and CHANGE events on
slave devices.
The eql driver also uses the IFF_SLAVE flag. I inspected eql,
and I believe this change is reasonable for its usage of IFF_SLAVE, but
I did not test it.

Cleanup usbnet_probe() return value handling
usbnet_probe() handles a positive return value from the driver bind()
function as success, but will later only setup the status handler if the
return value was zero, leading to confusion. Patch adjusts this to accept
positive values as success in both checks.

Get rid of dubious casts to (void *) which causes a sparse warning.
And move largeish function from inline to the one file that uses the code,
the compiler can then decide to inline it.
Compile tested only.

phylib: cleanup marvell.c a bit
Simplify the marvell driver init a bit: Make the supported devices an
array instead of explicitly registering each structure. This makes it
considerably easier to add new devices down the road.

[MIPS] PNX8550: Cleanup proc code.
Here's a slightly cleaner way of creating the /proc structure for the
pnx8850. mostly, it creates a directory with default mode 555, since the
one you're creating is mode 444, which is somewhat unusual for a directory
under /proc.
