6e4f6f6b40 e1000e: make ioport free
This patch makes e1000e driver ioport-free.
This corrects behavior in probe function so as not to request ioport
resources as long as they are not really needed.

d03157babe e1000: remove PCI Express device IDs
We do not want to prolong the situation much longer that e1000
and e1000e support these devices at the same time. As a result,
take out the bandage that was added for the interim period
and remove all the PCI Express device IDs from e1000.

6ff4ff06d2 DM9000: Remove DEFAULT_TRIGGER for request_irq() flags.
Currently all but one user (AT91SAM9261EK) of the dm9000

f8dd0ecbb7 DM9000: Allow the use of the NSR register to get link status.
The DM9000's internal PHY reports a copy of the link status
in the NSR register of the chip. Reading the status when
polling for link status is faster as it eliminates the need
to sleep, but does not print as much information.

Add an platform flag to force this behaviour, and a Kconfig
option to allow it to be forced to the faster method always.

The TPA stands for Transparent Packet Aggregation. When enabled, the FW
aggregate in-order TCP packets according to the 4-tuple match and sends
1 big packet to the driver. This packet is stored on an SGL in which
each SGE is 1 page. The FW also implements a timeout algorithm and it
honors all TCP flag, including the push flag as a trigger to halt
aggregation.

After receiving Ben Hutchings comments, we also added ethtool support,
so now, thanks to Ben's patch, when forwarding is enabled, our
aggregation is turned off using the LRO flags.

the emulation and FPGA for the 57711 and 57710 initializations values

The initialization is done via DMAE after the DMAE block is ready -
before it is ready, some of the initialization is done via PCI
configuration transactions (referred to as indirect write).  A mutex
to protect the DMAE from being overlapped was added.  There are few
new registers which needs to be initialized by SW - the full comment
for those registers is added to the register file.  A place holder for
the 57711 (referred to as E1H) microcode was added- the microcode
itself is too big and it is split over the following 4 patches

  identify what was configured and what is the outcome
- Adding code to read external PHY FW version and print it as part of 
  ethtool -i
- Adding code to upgrade external PHY FW from ethtool -E with special 
  magic number - Changing the link down indication to ERR level
- Adding a lock on all PHY access to prevent an interrupt and 
  setting changes to overlap
- Adding support for emulation and FPGA (small chunk of code that really 
  helps in the lab) - Adding support for 1G on BCM8706 PHY
- Adding clear debug print incase of fan failure (the PHY type is now 
  "failure")

2e3216cd54 sctp: Follow security requirement of responding with 1 packet
RFC 4960, Section 11.4. Protection of Non-SCTP-Capable Hosts

When an SCTP stack receives a packet containing multiple control or
DATA chunks and the processing of the packet requires the sending of
multiple chunks in response, the sender of the response chunk(s) MUST
NOT send more than one packet.  If bundling is supported, multiple
response chunks that fit into a single packet MAY be bundled together
into one single response packet.  If bundling is not supported, then
the sender MUST NOT send more than one response chunk and MUST
discard all other responses.  Note that this rule does NOT apply to a
SACK chunk, since a SACK chunk is, in itself, a response to DATA and
a SACK does not require a response of more DATA.

We implement this by not servicing our outqueue until we reach the end
of the packet.  This enables maximum bundling.  We also identify
'response' chunks and make sure that we only send 1 packet when sending
such chunks.

6d1a3fb567 netlink: genl: fix circular locking
genetlink has a circular locking dependency when dumping the registered
families:

- dump start:
genl_rcv()            : take genl_mutex
genl_rcv_msg()        : call netlink_dump_start() while holding genl_mutex
netlink_dump_start(),
netlink_dump()        : take nlk->cb_mutex
ctrl_dumpfamily()     : try to detect this case and not take genl_mutex a
                        second time

- dump continuance:
netlink_rcv()         : call netlink_dump
netlink_dump          : take nlk->cb_mutex
ctrl_dumpfamily()     : take genl_mutex

Register genl_lock as callback mutex with netlink to fix this. This slightly
widens an already existing module unload race, the genl ops used during the
dump might go away when the module is unloaded. Thomas Graf is working on a
seperate fix for this.

dad9b335c6 netdevice: Fix promiscuity and allmulti overflow
Max of promiscuity and allmulti plus positive @inc can cause overflow.
Fox example: when allmulti=0xFFFFFFFF, any caller give dev_set_allmulti() a
positive @inc will cause allmulti be off.
This is not what we want, though it's rare case.
The fix is that only negative @inc will cause allmulti or promiscuity be off
and when any caller makes the counters touch the roof, we return error.

Change of v2:
Change void function dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti to return int.
So callers can get the overflow error.
Caller's fix will be done later.

Change of v3:
1. Since we return error to caller, we don't need to print KERN_ERROR,
KERN_WARNING is enough.
2. In dev_set_promiscuity(), if __dev_set_promiscuity() failed, we
return at once.

3a5be7d4b0 Revert "mac80211: Use skb_header_cloned() on TX path."
This reverts commit 608961a5ec.

The problem is that the mac80211 stack not only needs to be able to
muck with the link-level headers, it also might need to mangle all of
the packet data if doing sw wireless encryption.

This fixes kernel bugzilla #10903.  Thanks to Didier Raboud (for the
bugzilla report), Andrew Prince (for bisecting), Johannes Berg (for
bringing this bisection analysis to my attention), and Ilpo (for
trying to analyze this purely from the TCP side).

In 2.6.27 we can take another stab at this, by using something like
skb_cow_data() when the TX path of mac80211 ends up with a non-NULL
tx->key.  The ESP protocol code in the IPSEC stack can be used as a
model for implementation.
