9fc377799b USB patches for 3.6-rc1
Here's the big USB patch set for the 3.6-rc1 merge window.
 
 Lots of little changes in here, primarily for gadget controllers and drivers.
 There's some scsi changes that I think also went in through the scsi tree, but
 they merge just fine.  All of these patches have been in the linux-next tree
 for a while now.

31bde1ceaa usb: gadget: Fix g_ether interface link status
A "usb0" interface that has never been connected to a host has an unknown
operstate, and therefore the IFF_RUNNING flag is (incorrectly) asserted
when queried by ifconfig, ifplugd, etc.  This is a result of calling
netif_carrier_off() too early in the probe function; it should be called
after register_netdev().

Similar problems have been fixed in many other drivers, e.g.:

    e826eafa6 (bonding: Call netif_carrier_off after register_netdevice)
    0d672e9f8 (drivers/net: Call netif_carrier_off at the end of the probe)
    6a3c869a6 (cxgb4: fix reported state of interfaces without link)

Fix is to move netif_carrier_off() to the end of the function.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

9b39e9dded USB: gadget: Add EEM gadget driver
This patch adds a CDC EEM ethernet gadget driver.  CDC EEM is a newer
USB ethernet specification that uses a simpler interface than the older
CDC ECM.  This makes CDC EEM usable by a wider set of USB hardware.
By default the ethernet gadget will still use CDC ECM/Subset, but kernel
configuration and/or a module parameter will allow alternative use of
the CDC EEM protocol.

Changes since last version:
	- Brought in missing RNDIS changes that caused compile error
	- Modified 'sentinel CRC' checking to match EEM host driver

237e75bf1e usb gadget: fix ethernet link reports to ethtool
The g_ether USB gadget driver currently decides whether or not there's a
link to report back for eth_get_link based on if the USB link speed is
set. The USB gadget speed is however often set even before the device is
enumerated. It seems more sensible to only report a "link" if we're
actually connected to a host that wants to talk to us. The patch below
does this for me - tested with the PXA27x UDC driver.

29bac7b766 usb gadget: cdc ethernet notification bugfix
Bugfix for the new CDC Ethernet code:  as part of activating the
network interface's USB link, make sure its link management code
knows whether the interface is open or not.

Without this fix, the link won't work right when it's brought up
before the link is active ... because the initial notification it
sends will have the wrong link state (down, not up).  Makes it
hard to bridge these links (on the host side), among other things.

2b3d942c48 usb ethernet gadget: split out network core
Abstract the peripheral side Ethernet-over-USB link layer code from
the all-in-one Ethernet gadget driver into a component that can be
called by various functions, so the various flavors can be split
apart and selectively reused.

A notable difference from the approach taken with the serial link
layer code (beyond talking to NET not TTY) is that because of the
initialization requirements, this only supports one network link.
(And one set of Ethernet link addresses.)

That is, each configuration may have only one instance of a network

same restriction.  If you want multiple logical links, that can
easily be done using network layer tools.
