drop_monitor: Update netlink protocol to include netlink attribute header in alert message
When I initially implemented this protocol, I disregarded the use of netlink
attribute headers, thinking for my purposes they weren't needed. I've come to
find out that, as I'm starting to work with sending down messages with
associated data (like config messages), the kernel code spits out warnings about
trailing data in a netlink skb that doesn't have an associated header on it. As
such, I'm going to start including attribute headers in my netlink transaction,
and so for completeness, I should likely include them on messages bound from the
kernel to user space. This patch adds that header to the kernel, and bumps the
protocol version accordingly

bonding: ignore updelay param when there is no active slave
Pointed out by Sean E. Millichamp.
Quote from Documentation/networking/bonding.txt:
"Note that when a bonding interface has no active links, the
driver will immediately reuse the first link that goes up, even if the
updelay parameter has been specified (the updelay is ignored in this
case). If there are slave interfaces waiting for the updelay timeout
to expire, the interface that first went into that state will be
immediately reused. This reduces down time of the network if the
value of updelay has been overestimated, and since this occurs only in
cases with no connectivity, there is no additional penalty for
ignoring the updelay."
This patch actually changes the behaviour in this way.

af_iucv: New socket option for setting IUCV MSGLIMITs
The SO_MSGLIMIT socket option modifies the message limit for new
IUCV communication paths.
The message limit specifies the maximum number of outstanding messages
that are allowed for connections. This setting can be lowered by z/VM
when an IUCV connection is established.
Expects an integer value in the range of 1 to 65535.
The default value is 65535.
The message limit must be set before calling connect() or listen()
for sockets.
If sockets are already connected or in state listen, changing the message
limit is not supported.
For reading the message limit value, unconnected sockets return the limit
that has been set or the default limit. For connected sockets, the actual
message limit is returned. The actual message limit is assigned by z/VM
for each connection and it depends on IUCV MSGLIMIT authorizations
specified for the z/VM guest virtual machine.

af_iucv: Support data in IUCV msg parameter lists (IPRMDATA)
The patch allows to send and receive data in the parameter list of an
iucv message.
The parameter list is an arry of 8 bytes that are used by af_iucv as
follows:
0..6 7 bytes for socket data and
7 1 byte to store the data length.
Instead of storing the data length directly, the difference
between 0xFF and the data length is used.
This convention does not interfere with the existing use of PRM
messages for shutting down the send direction of an AF_IUCV socket
(shutdown() operation). Data lenghts greater than 7 (or PRM message
byte 8 is less than 0xF8) denotes to special messages.
Currently, the special SEND_SHUTDOWN message is supported only.
To use IPRM messages, both communicators must set the IUCV_IPRMDATA
flag during path negotiation, i.e. in iucv_connect() and
path_pending().
To be compatible to older af_iucv implementations, sending PRM
messages is controlled by the socket option SO_IPRMDATA_MSG.
Receiving PRM messages does not depend on the socket option (but
requires the IUCV_IPRMDATA path flag to be set).
Sending/Receiving data in the parameter list improves performance for
small amounts of data by reducing message_completion() interrupts and
memory copy operations.

We can allow scan requests in AP mode as long as the interface has not
yet been configured to send out Beacon frames (or if beaconing has
been disabled prior to the scan request). This makes it easier to scan
for neighboring BSSes during AP initialization and makes it possible
to run a scan without setting the interface down, if needed. Without
this change, the only available option would be to set the interface
down, move into station mode, and set the interface up, prior to
requesting the scan.

mac80211: implement beacon filtering in software
Regardless of whether the hardware implements beacon filtering,
there's no need to process all beacons in software all the time
throughout the stack (mac80211 does a lot, then cfg80211, then
in the future possibly userspace).
This patch implements the "best possible" beacon filtering in
mac80211. "Best possible" means that it can look for changes in
all requested information elements, and distinguish vendor IEs
by their OUI.
In the future, we will add nl80211 API for userspace to request
information elements and vendor IE OUIs to watch -- drivers can
then implement the best they can do while software implements
it fully.
It is unclear whether or not this actually saves CPU time, but
the data is all in the cache already so it should be fairly
cheap. The additional _testing_, however, has great benefit;
Without this, and on hardware that doesn't implement beacon
filtering, wrong assumptions about, for example, scan result
updates could quickly creep into code.

Third, fix the scan_sdata abuse in the dynps code.
