eefef1cf76 net: add ARP notify option for devices
This adds another inet device option to enable gratuitous ARP
when device is brought up or address change. This is handy for
clusters or virtualization.

31f4574774 smsc911x: allow mac address to be saved before device reset
Some platforms (for example pcm037) do not have an EEPROM fitted,
instead storing their mac address somewhere else.  The bootloader
fetches this and configures the ethernet adapter before the kernel is
started.

This patch allows a platform to indicate to the driver via the
SMSC911X_SAVE_MAC_ADDRESS flag that the mac address has already been
configured via such a mechanism, and should be saved before resetting
the chip.

d23f028a4d smsc911x: add external phy detection overrides
On LAN9115/LAN9117/LAN9215/LAN9217, external phys are supported.  These
are usually indicated by a hardware strap which sets an "external PHY
detected" bit in the HW_CFG register.

In some cases it is desirable to override this hardware strap and force
use of either the internal phy or an external PHY.  This patch adds
SMSC911X_FORCE_INTERNAL_PHY and SMSC911X_FORCE_EXTERNAL_PHY flags so a
platform can indicate this preference via its platform_data.

86911732d3 gro: Avoid copying headers of unmerged packets
Unfortunately simplicity isn't always the best.  The fraginfo
interface turned out to be suboptimal.  The problem was quite
obvious.  For every packet, we have to copy the headers from
the frags structure into skb->head, even though for 99% of the
packets this part is immediately thrown away after the merge.

LRO didn't have this problem because it directly read the headers
from the frags structure.

This patch attempts to address this by creating an interface
that allows GRO to access the headers in the first frag without
having to copy it.  Because all drivers that use frags place the
headers in the first frag this optimisation should be enough.

of GRO that's shared with the common path.  This patch moves them

d5a9e24afb net: Allow RX queue selection to seed TX queue hashing.
The idea is that drivers which implement multiqueue RX
pre-seed the SKB by recording the RX queue selected by
the hardware.

If such a seed is found on TX, we'll use that to select
the outgoing TX queue.

This helps get more consistent load balancing on router
and firewall loads.

4feb88e5c6 netns: ipmr: enable namespace support in ipv4 multicast routing code
This last patch makes the appropriate changes to use and propagate the
network namespace where needed in IPv4 multicast routing code.

This consists mainly in replacing all the remaining init_net occurences
with current netns pointer retrieved from sockets, net devices or
mfc_caches depending on the routines' contexts.

Some routines receive a new 'struct net' parameter to propagate the current
netns:
* vif_add/vif_delete
* ipmr_new_tunnel
* mroute_clean_tables
* ipmr_cache_find
* ipmr_cache_report
* ipmr_cache_unresolved
* ipmr_mfc_add/ipmr_mfc_delete
* ipmr_get_route
* rt_fill_info (in route.c)

5c0a66f5f3 netns: ipmr: store netns in struct mfc_cache
This patch stores into struct mfc_cache the network namespace each
mfc_cache belongs to. The new member is mfc_net.

mfc_net is assigned at cache allocation and doesn't change during
the rest of the cache entry life.
A new net parameter is added to ipmr_cache_alloc/ipmr_cache_alloc_unres.

This will help to retrieve the current netns around the IPv4 multicast
routing code.

At the moment, all mfc_cache are allocated in init_net.
