Allocate memory for read-gathering at open time, when it is known just how
much memory is needed. This avoids wasting kernel memory when the real packet
size is smaller than the maximum packet size supported by the driver. This is
always the case when using DVD discs.

The pktcdvd driver was using an 8 bit field to store the packet length
obtained from the disc track info. This causes it to overflow packet length
values of 128KB or more. I changed the field to 32 bits to fix this.
The pktcdvd driver defaulted to its maximum allowed packet length when it
detected a 0 in the track info field. I changed this to fail the operation
and refuse to access the media. This seems more sane than attempting to
access it with a value that almost certainly will not work.

It was uncommented tricky code, that was buggy. Add comment, make it less

Previously, if a fs request which was being drained failed and got
requeued, blk_do_ordered() didn't allow it to be reissued, which causes
queue stall. This patch makes blk_do_ordered() use the sequence of each
request to determine whether a request can be issued or not. This fixes
the bug and simplifies code.

percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of
cpudata, instead of allocating memory only for possible cpus.
As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS
loops to use for_each_cpu().
(The above only applies to users of asm-generic/percpu.h. powerpc has gone it
alone and is presently only allocating memory for present CPUs, so it's
currently corrupting memory).

Fixing it fully requires more work which is too much for 2.6.16. So

After DNAT the original dst_entry needs to be released if present
so the packet doesn't skip input routing with its new address. The
current check for DNAT in ip_nat_in is reversed and checks for SNAT.

The IPv4 and IPv6 version of the policy match are identical besides address
comparison and the data structure used for userspace communication. Unify
the data structures to break compatiblity now (before it is released), so
we can port it to x_tables in 2.6.17.

netfilter's do_replace() can overflow on addition within SMP_ALIGN()
and/or on multiplication by NR_CPUS, resulting in a buffer overflow on
the copy_from_user(). In practice, the overflow on addition is
triggerable on all systems, whereas the multiplication one might require
much physical memory to be present due to the check above. Either is
sufficient to overwrite arbitrary amounts of kernel memory.
I really hate adding the same check to all 4 versions of do_replace(),
but the code is duplicate...

Performance tests showed that ULOG may fail on heavy loaded systems
because of failed order-N allocations (N >= 1).
The default value of 4096 is not optimal in the sense that it actually
allocates _two_ contigous physical pages. Reasoning: ULOG uses
alloc_skb(), which adds another ~300 bytes for skb_shared_info.
This patch sets the default value to NLMSG_GOODSIZE and adds some
documentation at the top.
