The DHCP spec allows the server to specify the MTU. This can be useful
for netbooting with UDP-based NFS-root on a network using jumbo frames.
This patch allows the kernel IP autoconfiguration to handle this option
correctly.
It would be possible to use initramfs and add a script to set the MTU,
but that seems like a complicated solution if no initramfs is otherwise
necessary, and would bloat the kernel image more than this code would.
This patch was originally submitted to LKML in 2003 by Hans-Peter Jansen.

If a DHCP server is delayed, it's possible for the client to receive the
DHCPOFFER after it has already sent out a new DHCPDISCOVER message from
a second interface. The client then sends out a DHCPREQUEST from the
second interface, but the server doesn't recognize the device and
rejects the request.
This patch simply tracks the current device being configured and throws
away the OFFER if it is not intended for the current device. A more
sophisticated approach would be to put the OFFER information into the
struct ic_device rather than storing it globally.

This patch adds needed_headroom/needed_tailroom members to struct
net_device and updates many places that allocate sbks to use them. Not
all of them can be converted though, and I'm sure I missed some (I
mostly grepped for LL_RESERVED_SPACE)

A few functions are only used from __init context.
So annotate these with __init for consistency and silence

Introduce per-net_device inlines: dev_net(), dev_net_set().
Without CONFIG_NET_NS, no namespace other than &init_net exists.
Let's explicitly define them to help compiler optimizations.

Based upon a patch by Marcel Wappler:
This patch fixes a DHCP issue of the kernel: some DHCP servers
(i.e. in the Linksys WRT54Gv5) are very strict about the contents
of the DHCPDISCOVER packet they receive from clients.
Table 5 in RFC2131 page 36 requests the fields 'ciaddr' and
'siaddr' MUST be set to '0'. These DHCP servers ignore Linux
kernel's DHCP discovery packets with these two fields set to
'255.255.255.255' (in contrast to popular DHCP clients, such as
'dhclient' or 'udhcpc'). This leads to a not booting system.

There are some place, that calculate the ARP header length. These
calculations are correct, but
a) some operate with "magic" constants,
b) enlarge the code length (sometimes at the cost of coding style),
c) are not informative from the first glance.
The proposal is to introduce a helper, that includes all the good
sides of these calculations.

The recent changes for ip command line processing fixed some problems
but unfortunately broke some common usage scenarios. In current
2.6.24-rc6 the following command line results in no IP address
assignment, which is surely a regression:
ip=10.0.2.15::10.0.2.2:255.255.255.0::eth0:off
Please find below a patch that works for all cases I can find.

David Brownell pointed out a regression in my recent "Fix ip command
line processing" patch. It turns out to be a fairly blatant oversight on
my part whereby ic_enable is never set, and thus autoconfiguration is
never enabled. Clearly my testing was broken :-(
The solution that I have is to set ic_enable to 1 if we hit
ip_auto_config_setup(), which basically means that autoconfiguration is
activated unless told otherwise. I then flip ic_enable to 0 if ip=off,
ip=none, ip=::::::off or ip=::::::none using ic_proto_name();
The incremental patch is below, let me know if a non-incremental version
is prepared, as I did as for the original patch to be reverted pending a
fix.
