TCP inline usage cleanup:
* get rid of inline in several places
* replace __inline__ with inline where possible
* move functions used in one file out of tcp.h
* let compiler decide on used once cases

The check for multicast shouldn't exclude broadcast type addresses.
This reverts the incorrect change done in 2.6.13.
The broadcast address is a multicast address and should be excluded
from being a valid_ether_address for use in bridging or device address.

Select a block size for IO based on the read and write block size
combinations, and whether the card supports partial block reads
and/or partial block writes.
If we are able to satisfy block reads but not block writes, mark
the device read only.

In af_unix, a rwlock is used to protect internal state. At least on my
P4 with HT it is faster to use a spinlock due to the simpler memory
barrier used to unlock. This patch raises bw_unix to ~690K/s.

In __alloc_skb(), the use of skb_shinfo() which casts a u8 * to the
shared info structure results in gcc being forced to do a reload of the
pointer since it has no information on possible aliasing. Fix this by
using a pointer to refer to skb_shared_info.
By initializing skb_shared_info sequentially, the write combining buffers
can reduce the number of memory transactions to a single write. Reorder
the initialization in __alloc_skb() to match the structure definition.
There is also an alignment issue on 64 bit systems with skb_shared_info
by converting nr_frags to a short everything packs up nicely.
Also, pass the slab cache pointer according to the fclone flag instead
of using two almost identical function calls.
This raises bw_unix performance up to a peak of 707KB/s when combined
with the spinlock patch. It should help other networking protocols, too.

To help in reducing the number of include dependencies, several files were
touched as they were getting needed headers indirectly for stuff they use.

I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)
This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.
This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)
I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.
This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.

Here is a new feature for netem in 2.6.16. It adds the ability to
randomly corrupt packets with netem. A version was done by
Hagen Paul Pfeifer, but I redid it to handle the cases of backwards
compatibility with netlink interface and presence of hardware checksum
offload. It is useful for testing hardware offload in devices.

This lock is actually taken mostly as a writer,
so using a rwlock actually just makes performance
worse especially on chips like the Intel P4.

As DCCP needs to be called in the same spots.
Now we have a member in inet_sock (is_icsk), set at sock creation time from
struct inet_protosw->flags (if INET_PROTOSW_ICSK is set, like for TCP and
DCCP) to see if a struct sock instance is a inet_connection_sock for places
like the ones in ip_sockglue.c (v4 and v6) where we previously were looking if
sk_type was SOCK_STREAM, that is insufficient because we now use the same code
for DCCP, that has sk_type SOCK_DCCP.

Out of tcp6_timewait_sock, that now is just an aggregation of
inet_timewait_sock and inet6_timewait_sock, using tw_ipv6_offset in struct
inet_timewait_sock, that is common to the IPv6 transport protocols that use
timewait sockets, like DCCP and TCP.
tw_ipv6_offset plays the struct inet_sock pinfo6 role, i.e. for the generic
code to find the IPv6 area in a timewait sock.
