Currently all network protocols need to call dev_ioctl as the default
fallback in their ioctl implementations. This patch adds a fallback
to dev_ioctl to sock_ioctl if the protocol returned -ENOIOCTLCMD.
This way all the procotol ioctl handlers can be simplified and we don't
need to export dev_ioctl.

I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)
This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.
This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)
I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.
This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.

The patch (originally from Steve) simply adds memory buffer settings to
DECnet similar to those in TCP.

Currently recvmsg generates SIGPIPE whereas sendmsg does not; for the
other stacks it seems to be the other way round!
It also fixes the bug where reading from a socket whose peer has shutdown
returned -EINVAL rather than 0.

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;
- replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

Patch from Steve Whitehouse which I've vetted and tested:
"This patch is really intended has a move towards fixing the
sendmsg/recvmsg functions in various ways so that we will finally
have working nagle. Also reduces code duplication."

Lots of places just needs the states, not even linux/tcp.h, where this
enum was, needs it.
This speeds up development of the refactorings as less sources are
rebuilt when things get moved from net/tcp.h.

Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond()
decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original
device into packet_type->func() as an argument.
It remains to be seen whether we can use this same
exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well.

Remove the "list" member of struct sk_buff, as it is entirely
redundant. All SKB list removal callers know which list the
SKB is on, so storing this in sk_buff does nothing other than
taking up some space.
Two tricky bits were SCTP, which I took care of, and two ATM
drivers which Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> fixed
up.

This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen
member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the
'list' member of sk_buff.
Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is
empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty()
which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead
uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
