net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one device
didn't do what was intended because the netdev_compute_features
function was designed for conjunctions. So what happened was that
it would simply take the TSO status of the last constituent device.
This patch extends it to support both conjunctions and disjunctions
under the new name of netdev_increment_features.
It also adds a new function netdev_fix_features which does the
sanity checking that usually occurs upon registration. This ensures
that the computation doesn't result in an illegal combination
since this checking is absent when the change is initiated via
ethtool.
The two users of netdev_compute_features have been converted.

If changename notifier returns an error code, it gets incorrectly
cleared during rollback so the error is never returned to the user.

Some code here depends on CONFIG_KMOD to not try to load
protocol modules or similar, replace by CONFIG_MODULES
where more than just request_module depends on CONFIG_KMOD
and and also use try_then_request_module in ebtables.

Clean up the various different email addresses of mine listed in the code
to a single current and valid address. As Dave says his network merges
for 2.6.28 are now done this seems a good point to send them in where
they won't risk disrupting real changes.

Benjamin Thery tracked down a bug that explains many instances
of the error
unregister_netdevice: waiting for %s to become free. Usage count = %d
It turns out that netdev_run_todo can dead-lock with itself if
a second instance of it is run in a thread that will then free
a reference to the device waited on by the first instance.
The problem is really quite silly. We were trying to create
parallelism where none was required. As netdev_run_todo always
follows a RTNL section, and that todo tasks can only be added
with the RTNL held, by definition you should only need to wait
for the very ones that you've added and be done with it.
There is no need for a second mutex or spinlock.
This is exactly what the following patch does.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> reported a bug when setting a VLAN
device down that is in promiscous mode:
When the VLAN device is set down, the promiscous count on the real
device is decremented by one by vlan_dev_stop(). When removing the
promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous
count on the real device is decremented a second time by the
vlan_change_rx_flags() callback.
The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is
invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror
the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function
is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is
responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags()
is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP.
Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the
intended behaviour.

Add some packet-split receive hooks.
For one this allows to do NUMA node affine page allocs. Later on these
hooks will be extended to do emergency reserve allocations for
fragments.

This patch adds skb_recycle_check(), which can be used by a network
driver after transmitting an skb to check whether this skb can be
recycled as a receive buffer.
skb_recycle_check() checks that the skb is not shared or cloned, and
that it is linear and its head portion large enough (as determined by
the driver) to be recycled as a receive buffer. If these conditions
are met, it does any necessary reference count dropping and cleans
up the skbuff as if it just came from __alloc_skb().

This patch add support for keeping an additional character alias
associated with an network interface. This is useful for maintaining
the SNMP ifAlias value which is a user defined value. Routers use this
to hold information like which circuit or line it is connected to. It
is just an arbitrary text label on the network device.
There are two exposed interfaces with this patch, the value can be
read/written either via netlink or sysfs.
This could be maintained just by the snmp daemon, but it is more
generally useful for other management tools, and the kernel is good
place to act as an agreed upon interface to store it.

Currently simple_tx_hash is hashing inside of udp fragments. As a result
packets are getting getting sent to all queues when they shouldn't be.
This causes a serious performance regression which can be seen by sending
UDP frames larger than mtu on multiqueue devices. This change will make
it so that fragments are hashed only as IP datagrams w/o any protocol
information.
