Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6
* 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6: (867 commits) [SKY2]: status polling loop (post merge) [NET]: Fix NAPI completion handling in some drivers. [TCP]: Limit processing lost_retrans loop to work-to-do cases [TCP]: Fix lost_retrans loop vs fastpath problems [TCP]: No need to re-count fackets_out/sacked_out at RTO [TCP]: Extract tcp_match_queue_to_sack from sacktag code [TCP]: Kill almost unused variable pcount from sacktag [TCP]: Fix mark_head_lost to ignore R-bit when trying to mark L [TCP]: Add bytes_acked (ABC) clearing to FRTO too [IPv6]: Update setsockopt(IPV6_MULTICAST_IF) to support RFC 3493, try2 [NETFILTER]: x_tables: add missing ip6t_modulename aliases [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_tcp: fix connection reopening [QETH]: fix qeth_main.c [NETLINK]: fib_frontend build fixes [IPv6]: Export userland ND options through netlink (RDNSS support) [9P]: build fix with !CONFIG_SYSCTL [NET]: Fix dev_put() and dev_hold() comments [NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchronious [NET]: unify netlink kernel socket recognition [NET]: cleanup 3rd argument in netlink_sendskb ... Fix up conflicts manually in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt and my new least favourite crap, the "mod_devicetable" support in the files include/linux/mod_devicetable.h and scripts/mod/file2alias.c. (The latter files seem to be explicitly _designed_ to get conflicts when different subsystems work with them - that have an absolutely horrid lack of subsystem separation!) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
