Switch ingress queueing back to use ingress_lock. qdisc_lock_tree now locks
both the ingress and egress qdiscs on the device. All changes to data that
might be used on both ingress and egress needs to be protected by using
qdisc_lock_tree instead of manually taking dev->queue_lock. Additionally
the qdisc stats_lock needs to be initialized to ingress_lock for ingress
qdiscs.

The skb transport pointer is currently used to specify the start
of the checksum region for transmit checksum offload. Unfortunately,
the same pointer is also used during receive side processing.
This creates a problem when we want to retransmit a received
packet with partial checksums since the skb transport pointer
would be overwritten.
This patch solves this problem by creating a new 16-bit csum_start
offset value to replace the skb transport header for the purpose
of checksums. This offset is calculated from skb->head so that
it does not have to change when skb->data changes.
No extra space is required since csum_offset itself fits within
a 16-bit word so we can use the other 16 bits for csum_start.
For backwards compatibility, just before we push a packet with
partial checksums off into the device driver, we set the skb
transport header to what it would have been under the old scheme.

Network drivers which keep stats allocate their own stats structure
then write a get_stats() function to return them. It would be nice if
this were done by default.
1) Add a new "stats" field to "struct net_device".
2) Add a new feature field to say "this driver uses the internal one"
3) Have a default "get_stats" which returns NULL if that feature not set.
4) Change callers to check result of get_stats call for NULL, not if
->get_stats is set.
This should not break backwards compatibility with older drivers, yet
allow modern drivers to shed some boilerplate code.
Lightly tested: works for a modified lguest network driver.

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)
Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.

We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain
'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct
sock.
This has some drawbacks :
- Fixed resolution of micro second.
- Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16
I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution
time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution.
As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits
a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other
structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in
ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...)
Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide
nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or
SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS)
Note : this patch includes a bug correction in
compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this
syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0)

The generic networking code ensures that no two networking devices
have the same name, so there is no time except when sysfs has
implementation bugs that device_rename when called from
dev_change_name will fail.
The current error handling for errors from device_rename in
dev_change_name is wrong and results in an unusable and unrecoverable
network device if device_rename is happens to return an error.
This patch removes the buggy error handling. Which confines the mess
when device_rename hits a problem to sysfs, instead of propagating it
the rest of the network stack. Making linux a little more robust.
Without this patch you can observe what happens when sysfs has a bug
when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set and you attempt to rename
a real network device to a name like (broken_parity_status, device,
modalias, power, resource2, subsystem_vendor, class, driver, irq,
msi_bus, resource, subsystem, uevent, config, enable, local_cpus,
numa_node, resource0, subsystem_device, vendor)
Greg has a patch that fixes the sysfs bugs but he doesn't trust it
for a 2.6.21 timeframe. This patch which just ignores errors should
be safe and it keeps the system from going completely wacky.
