Linus mentioned we could try to perform long word operations, even
on potentially unaligned addresses, on x86 at least. David mentioned
the HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS test to handle this on all
arches that have efficient unailgned accesses.
I tried this idea and got nice assembly on 32 bits:
158: 33 82 38 01 00 00 xor 0x138(%edx),%eax
15e: 33 8a 34 01 00 00 xor 0x134(%edx),%ecx
164: c1 e0 10 shl $0x10,%eax
167: 09 c1 or %eax,%ecx
169: 74 0b je 176 <eth_type_trans+0x87>
And very nice assembly on 64 bits of course (one xor, one shl)
Nice oprofile improvement in eth_type_trans(), 0.17 % instead of 0.41 %,
expected since we remove 8 instructions on a fast path.
This patch implements a compare_ether_addr_64bits() function, that
uses the CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS ifdef to efficiently
perform the 6 bytes comparison on all capable arches.

This adds support for the Trailer switch tagging format. This is
another tagging that doesn't explicitly mark tagged packets with a
distinct ethertype, so that we need to add a similar hack in the
receive path as for the Original DSA tagging format.

Most of the DSA switches currently in the field do not support the
Ethertype DSA tagging format that one of the previous patches added
support for, but only the original DSA tagging format.
The original DSA tagging format carries the same information as the
Ethertype DSA tagging format, but with the difference that it does not
have an ethertype field. In other words, when receiving a packet that
is tagged with an original DSA tag, there is no way of telling in
eth_type_trans() that this packet is in fact a DSA-tagged packet.
This patch adds a hook into eth_type_trans() which is only compiled in
if support for a switch chip that doesn't support Ethertype DSA is
selected, and which checks whether there is a DSA switch driver
instance attached to this network device which uses the old tag format.
If so, it sets the protocol field to ETH_P_DSA without looking at the
packet, so that the packet ends up in the right place.

I guess it should return -EADDRNOTAVAIL similar to eth_mac_addr()
when validation fails.

print_mac() used many most net drivers and format_addr() used by
net-sysfs.c are very similar and they can be intergrated.
format_addr() is also identically redefined in the qla4xxx iscsi
driver.
Export a new function sysfs_format_mac() to be used by net-sysfs,
qla4xxx and others in the future. Both print_mac() and
sysfs_format_mac() call _format_mac_addr() to do the formatting.
Changed print_mac() to use unsigned char * to be consistent with
net_device struct's dev_addr. Added buffer length overrun checking
as suggested by Joe Perches.

The ethernet header management only needs to handle a fixed
size address (6 bytes). If the memcpy/memset are changed to
be passed a constant length, then compiler can optimize for
this case (and if it is smart eliminate string instructions).

Add the multiqueue hardware device support API to the core network
stack. Allow drivers to allocate multiple queues and manage them at
the netdev level if they choose to do so.
Added a new field to sk_buff, namely queue_mapping, for drivers to
know which tx_ring to select based on OS classification of the flow.

For the common, open coded 'skb->mac.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can
later turn skb->mac.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in
64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.
This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more
"complex" cases.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).
