This adds an init_dummy_netdev() function that gets a network device
structure (allocation and lifetime entirely under caller's control) and
initialize the minimum amount of fields so it can be used to schedule
NAPI polls without registering a full blown interface. This is to be
used by drivers that need to tie several hardware interfaces to a single
NAPI poll scheduler due to HW limitations.
It also updates the ibm_newemac driver to use that, this fixing the
oops on 2.6.29 due to passing NULL as "dev" to netif_napi_add()
Symbol is exported GPL only a I don't think we want binary drivers doing
that sort of acrobatics (if we want them at all).

The attached patch modifies the sis900 driver when the MAC address
read from the hardware is invalid. As suggested, the patch now
generates a random address so that the user can go on and use
the hardware. In any case a message is also shown to warn on the
unexpected condition.
This seems to happen with newer HW implementation of the sis900
chipset, since this never came up before.
Patch is against vanilla 2.6.28 (but the driver doesn't change so often,
so it will probably apply to older/newer versions too).
See bugzilla ID 10201 and 11649 and ignore the previous patch.

When an skb with page frags is merged into an existing one, we
cannibalise its reference count. This is OK when the skb is
reused because we set nr_frags to zero in that case. However,
for the case where the skb is freed through kfree_skb, we didn't
clear nr_frags which causes the page to be freed prematurely.
This is fixed by moving the skb resetting into skb_gro_receive.

When an i4l ppp interface is shut down (e.g. with /sbin/ifdown ippp0) a
scary warning is logged:
isdn_free_channel: called with invalid drv(-1) or channel(-1)
This warning is caused by isdn_net_unbind_channel(), which always calls
isdn_free_channel() even if isdn_net_local->isdn_device and
isdn_net_local->isdn_channel are (still) in a perfectly acceptable
default state, so let's not do that.

Freescale on-chip TBI PHYs reports PHY ID as 0x0, but as of
commit 3ee82383f0

phy: fix phy address bug
PHYID returns 0xffff and not 0xffffffff when not found and in some
case(at91sam9263) 0x0. Maybe this patch could be useful.
phy_device.c treats PHY ID == 0x0 as bogus IDs, and that results in
gianfar driver failure to see the TBI PHYs. This code snippet triggers:
if (!priv->tbiphy) {
printk(KERN_WARNING "SGMII mode requires that the device "
"tree specify a tbi-handle\n");
return;
}
Although tbi-handle is specified in the device tree.
Btw, technically PHY ID == 0x0 is a valid ID (if we ever see a PHY
manufactured by Xerox :-).

As GRO cannot be applied to packets with frag_list we need to
make sure that we reject such packets if they are fed to us,
e.g., through a tunnel device.
Also there is no point in applying GRO on GSO packets so they
too should be rejected. This allows GRO to be used in virtio-net
which may produce GSO packets directly but may still benefit
from GRO if the other end of it doesn't support GSO.

As spotted by Willy Tarreau, current splice() from tcp socket to pipe is not
optimal. It processes at most one segment per call.
This results in low performance and very high overhead due to syscall rate
when splicing from interfaces which do not support LRO.
Willy provided a patch inside tcp_splice_read(), but a better fix
is to let tcp_read_sock() process as many segments as possible, so
that tcp_rcv_space_adjust() and tcp_cleanup_rbuf() are called less
often.
With this change, splice() behaves like tcp_recvmsg(), being able
to consume many skbs in one system call. With typical 1460 bytes
of payload per frame, that means splice(SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK) can return
16*1460 = 23360 bytes.
