In particular, allow over-large read- or write-requests to be downgraded
to a more reasonable range, rather than considering them outright errors.
We want to protect lower layers from (the sadly all too common) overflow
conditions, but prefer to do so by chopping the requests up, rather than
just refusing them outright.

Vegas' slow start was only adding one MSS per RTT rather than one for
every ack. Slow start behavior should now match Reno.

This fixes the pragma packing in the ip2 driver by popping the previous
setting rather than explicitly assuming that the correct setting is 4.
This also gets around a compiler bug in the FRV compiler when building
allmodconfig.

Fix usb_find_interface. You cannot case pointers to int and long on

I looked at the userspace code which uses the LPIOC_GET_DEVICE_ID ioctl
and I almost went blind. Let's export it in sysfs instead, and just as a
string instead of with a big-endian length at the beginning of it.
This also prints the message about finding the printer _after_ we know
the minor device number it's going to have, rather than reporting all
printers as 'usblp0'.

David has a G5 with a printer. I am quite surprised that nobody else noticed
this before. Linus has a G5. Hackers hate printing in general, maybe.
We do not use BKL anymore, because one of code paths had a sleeping call,
so we had to use a semaphore. I am sure it's safe to use unlocked_ioctl.
The new ioctls return long and retval is int. It looks completely fine to me.
We never want these extra bits, and the sign extension ought to work right.

Noticed that my zd1201 adapter isn't "seen" by hal and NetworkManager.
The problem seems to be that unlike other network device drivers I
checked, zd1201 does not do a SET_NETDEV_DEV(), which makes it so a
"device" symlink is created under /sys/class/net/wlan0.
With the following patch the device symlink shows up, and now I am
happily using NetworkManager to control the adapter:
$ ls -l /sys/class/net/wlan0
total 0

Fedora users complain that passing "nousbstorage" to the installer causes
the rest of the USB support to disappear. The installer uses kernel command
line as a way to pass options through Syslinux. The problem stems from the
use of strncmp() in obsolete_checksetup().
I used __module_param_call() instead of module_param because I wanted to
preserve the old syntax in grub.conf, and it's the only macro which allows
to remove the prefix.
The fix is tested to accept the option "nousb" correctly now.
