This routine gets the parsed rtnl attributes and creates a new
link with generic info (IFLA_LINKINFO policy). Its intention
is to help the drivers, that need to create several links at
once (like VETH).
This is nothing but a copy-paste-ed part of rtnl_newlink() function
that is responsible for creation of new device.

Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.
In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.
The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:
int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
to
int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.
The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.
Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.
With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

Similarly to CTS protection, whether short preambles are used for 802.11b
transmissions should be a per-subif setting, not device global.
For STAs, this patch makes short preamble handling automatic based on the ERP
IE. For APs, hostapd still uses the prism ioctls, but the write ioctl has been
restricted to AP-only subifs.
ieee80211_txrx_data.short_preamble (an unused field) was removed.
Unfortunately, some API changes were required for the following functions:
- ieee80211_generic_frame_duration
- ieee80211_rts_duration
- ieee80211_ctstoself_duration
- ieee80211_rts_get
- ieee80211_ctstoself_get
Affected drivers were updated accordingly.

mac80211 informs the driver what the short and long retry values are through
set_retry_limit(), but when packets are being transmitted it did not inform the
driver which of the 2 retry limits should actually be used.
Instead it sends the actual value, but for drivers that can only set the retry limit
and the register and in the descriptor need to indicate which of the limits should
be used this is not really useful.
This patch will add a IEEE80211_TXCTL_LONG_RETRY_LIMIT flag to the
ieee80211_tx_control structure. By default the short retry limit should be
used but if the flag is set the long retry should be used.
This does not prevent the driver to ignore the request for "no retry" packets,
but at least those will be send out with the short retry limit. But there is no
perfect cure for this problem.. :(

The Lite5200 u-boot image doesn't entirely configure the processor
correctly and so Linux needs to fixup the cpu setup in setup_arch. Fixing
the CPU setup is good, but making it into common code is not a good idea.
New board ports should be encouraged not to take the lead of the lite5200
and instead get their firmware to setup the CPU the right way.

This is the filesystem part of the patches to fix this bz. There are
additional userland patches (gfs2_quota, libgfs2) for the complete
solution. This patch adds a new field qu_ll_next to the gfs2_quota
structure. This field allows us to create linked lists of quotas in the
ondisk quota inode. Instead of scanning through the entire sparse quota
file for valid quotas, we can now simply walk through the user and group
quota linked lists to perform the do_list operation.

As bi_end_io is only called once when the reqeust is complete,
the 'size' argument is now redundant. Remove it.
Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed
from bi_size. So don't do that either.

The entire function of flush_dry_bio_endio is to undo the effects
of bio_endio (when called on a barrier request). So remove the
function and the call to bio_endio.

blk_rq_bio_prep is exported for use in exactly
one place. That place can benefit from using
the new blk_rq_append_bio instead.
So
- change dm-emc to call blk_rq_append_bio
- stop exporting blk_rq_bio_prep, and
- initialise rq_disk in blk_rq_bio_prep,
as dm-emc needs it.

In the past, videobuf_queue_init were used to initialize PCI DMA videobuffers.
This patch renames it, to avoid confusion with the previous kernel API, doing:
s/videobuf_queue_init/void videobuf_queue_core_init/
Also, the operations is now part of the function parameter. The function will
also add a test if this is defined, otherwise producing BUG.

The IB CM provides a message received acknowledged (MRA) message that
can be sent to indicate that a REQ or REP message has been received, but
will require more time to process than the timeout specified by those
messages. In many cases, the application may not know how long it will
take to respond to a CM message, but the majority of the time, it will
usually respond before a retry has been sent. Rather than sending an
MRA in response to all messages just to handle the case where a longer
timeout is needed, it is more efficient to queue the MRA for sending in
case a duplicate message is received.
This avoids sending an MRA when it is not needed, but limits the number
of times that a REQ or REP will be resent. It also provides for a
simpler implementation than generating the MRA based on a timer event.
(That is, trying to send the MRA after receiving the first REQ or REP if
a response has not been generated, so that it is received at the remote
side before a duplicate REQ or REP has been received)
