This removes the private element from skbuff, that is only used by
HIPPI. Instead it uses skb->cb[] to hold the additional data that is
needed in the output path from hard_header to device driver.
PS: The only qdisc that might potentially corrupt this cb[] is if
netem was used over HIPPI. I will take care of that by fixing netem
to use skb->stamp. I don't expect many users of netem over HIPPI

Introduce "nfnetlink" (netfilter netlink) layer. This layer is used as
transport layer for all userspace communication of the new upcoming
netfilter subsystems, such as ctnetlink, nfnetlink_queue and some day even
the mythical pkttables ;)

This adds a notifier chain based event mechanism for ip_conntrack state
changes. As opposed to the previous implementations in patch-o-matic, we
do no longer need a field in the skb to achieve this.
Thanks to the valuable input from Patrick McHardy and Rusty on the idea
of a per_cpu implementation.

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.

As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff.
The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller. I did some basic
testing on my notebook and it seems to work.
The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a
single bit. Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in
sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for
them. Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space.
Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and
alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code
overloads pkt_type :(
The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just
came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe
to remove it.
- remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code
- don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own
compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field. IPVS maintainers can
decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die.
- remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes
- move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes

It appears that a memory barrier soon after a mispredicted
branch, not just in the delay slot, can cause the hang
condition of this cpu errata.
So move them out-of-line, and explicitly put them into
a "branch always, predict taken" delay slot which should
fully kill this problem.

When the spinlock routines were moved out of line into
kernel/spinlock.c this made it so that the debugging
spinlocks record lock acquisition program counts in the
kernel/spinlock.c functions not in their callers.
This makes the debugging info kind of useless.
So record the correct caller's program counter and
now this feature is useful once more.

Current uncorrectable error handling was poor enough
that the processor could just loop taking the same
trap over and over again. Fix things up so that we
at least get a log message and perhaps even some register
state.
In the process, much consolidation became possible,
particularly with the correctable error handler.
Prefix assembler and C function names with "spitfire"
to indicate that these are for Ultra-I/II/IIi/IIe only.
More work is needed to make these routines robust and
featureful to the level of the Ultra-III error handlers.

* ieee1394_device_id has kernel_ulong_t field after an odd number of
__u32 ones. Since mod_devicetable.h is included both from kernel and
from host build helper, we may be in trouble if we are building on
32bit host for 64bit target - userland sees unsigned long long,
kernel sees unsigned long and while their sizes match, alignments
might not. Fixed by forcing alignment. Fortunately, almost nobody
else needs that - the rest of such fields is naturally aligned as it
is.
* of_device_id has void * in it. Host userland helpers need
kernel_ulong_t instead, since their void * might have nothing to do
with the kernel one. Fixed in the same way it's done for similar
problems in pcmcia_device_id (ifdef __KERNEL__).
* pcmcia_device_id has the same problem as ieee1394_device_id. Fixed
the same way.

This patch adds back the code that was taken out, thus re-enabling:
* The PHY Layer to initialize without crashing
* Drivers to actually connect to PHYs
* The entire PHY Control Layer
This patch is used by the gianfar driver, and other drivers which are in
development.
