Conflicts:
drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvneta.c
The mvneta.c conflict is a case of overlapping changes,
a conversion to devm_ioremap_resource() vs. a conversion
to netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats.

Replace the bh safe variant with the hard irq safe variant.
We need a hard irq safe variant to deal with netpoll transmitting
packets from hard irq context, and we need it in most if not all of
the places using the bh safe variant.
Except on 32bit uni-processor the code is exactly the same so don't
bother with a bh variant, just have a hard irq safe variant that
everyone can use.

According to the commit 16b0dc29c1
(dummy: fix rcu_sched self-detected stalls)
Eric Dumazet fix the problem in dummy, but the ifb will occur the
same problem like the dummy modules.
Trying to "modprobe ifb numifbs=30000" triggers :
INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU
After this splat, RTNL is locked and reboot is needed.
We must call cond_resched() to avoid this, even holding RTNL.

Rename the hardware VLAN acceleration features to include "CTAG" to indicate
that they only support CTAGs. Follow up patches will introduce 802.1ad

Only distinct use is checking if NETIF_F_NOCACHE_COPY should be
enabled by default. The check heuristics is altered a bit here,
so it hits other people than before. The default shouldn't be
trusted for performance-critical cases anyway.
For all other uses NETIF_F_NO_CSUM is equivalent to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling
ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real
hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in
their skbs. There are a handful of drivers that violate this assumption of
course, and need to be fixed up. This patch identifies those drivers, and marks
them as not being able to support the safe transmission of skbs by clearning the
IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING flag in priv_flags

Force dev_alloc_name() to be called from register_netdevice() by

Yes, why not, I am only wondering why loopback / dummy (and others ?)
only set NETIF_F_TSO :)
Since I want to play with ECN, I might also add NETIF_F_TSO_ECN ;)
For other flags, I really doubt it can matter on ifb ?
[PATCH v3 net-next-2.6] ifb: add performance flags
IFB can use the full set of features flags (NETIF_F_SG |
NETIF_F_FRAGLIST | NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_NO_CSUM | NETIF_F_HIGHDMA) to
avoid unnecessary split of some packets (GRO for example)
Changli suggested to also set vlan_features, NETIF_F_TSO6,
NETIF_F_TSO_ECN.
Jarek suggested to add NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX as well.

If we break the loop when there are still skbs in tq and no skb in
rq, the skbs will be left in txq until new skbs are enqueued into rq.
In rare cases, no new skb is queued, then these skbs will stay in rq
forever.
After this patch, if tq isn't empty when we break the loop, we goto
resched directly.
