tulip: fix crash on iface up with shirq debug
Tulip is currently doing request_irq before it has done its
initialization. This is usually not a problem because it hasn't
enable interrupts yet, but with DEBUG_SHIRQ on, we call the irq handler
when registering the interrupt as a sanity check.
This can result in a NULL ptr dereference, so call tulip_init_ring
before request_irq, and add a free_ring function to do the freeing
now shared with tulip_close.
Tested with a shell loop running ifup, ifdown in a loop a few hundred
times with DEBUG_SHIRQ on.

virtio_net: Make virtio_net support carrier detection
Impact: Make NetworkManager work with virtio_net
For now the semantics are simple: There is always carrier.
This allows a seamless experience with e.g., qemu/kvm
where NetworkManager just configures and sets up
everything automagically.
If/when a generally agreed-upon way to control
carrier on/off in the emulator/hypervisor level
emerges, it will be trivial to extend the driver
to support that too, but for now even this 2-liner
makes user experience that much better.

this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee
that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided

The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their
arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems
so this error should have been impossible.
It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead
of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down

netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panic
When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are
all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice
notifier.
In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network
devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of
the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device
instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as
any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys.
But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do
exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network
devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless.
I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the
addrconf cleanup function.

x86: fix init_memory_mapping() to handle small ranges
Impact: fix failed EFI bootup in certain circumstances
Ying Huang found init_memory_mapping() has problem with small ranges
less than 2M when he tried to direct map the EFI runtime code out of
max_low_pfn_mapped.
It turns out we never considered that case and didn't check the range...

OMAP: enable smc911x support for LDP platform
The following patch enables SMC911x support to work on the OMAP LDP
board. Although the SMC911x driver will eventually be obsoleted, the
smsc911x patches are rather invasive for the -rc kernels.
Rather than risk destablising smsc911x, this simpler patch is preferred
to allow the network interface to work.

sctp: fix kernel panic with ERROR chunk containing too many error causes
If ERROR chunk is received with too many error causes in ESTABLISHED
state, the kernel get panic.
This is because sctp limit the max length of cmds to 14, but while
ERROR chunk is received, one error cause will add around 2 cmds by
sctp_add_cmd_sf(). So many error causes will fill the limit of cmds
and panic.
This patch fixed the problem.
This bug can be test by SCTP Conformance Test Suite

Revert "menu: fix embedded menu snafu"
This reverts commit 155b25bcc28631a5b5230191aa3f56c40dfffa3f, which was
totally wrong - the "embedded" options still exists (very much so) even
on non-embedded platforms.
It's just that we don't bother with actually asking about them when
we're not embedded, we just take their default values (which is usually
'y' - the options add features that may not be worth it in a constrained
environment).

drm: Avoid client deadlocks when the master disappears.
This is done by
1) Wake up lock waiters when we close the master file descriptor.
Not when the master structure is removed, since the latter
requires the waiters themselves to release the refcount on the
master structure -> Deadlock.
2) Send a SIGTERM to all clients waiting for the lock.
Normally these clients will get a SIGPIPE when the X server dies,
but clients may also spin trying to grab the DRM lock, without
getting any sort of notification.

menu: fix embedded menu snafu
The COMPAT_BRK kconfig symbol does not depend on EMBEDDED, but it is in
the midst of the EMBEDDED menu symbols, so it mucks up the EMBEDDED
menu. Fix by moving it to just after all of the EMBEDDED menu symbols.
Also, surround all of the EMBEDDED symbols with "if EMBEDDED"/"endif" so
that this EMBEDDED block is clearer.
