Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Conflicts: drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c net/core/filter.c A filter bug fix overlapped some cleanups and a conversion over to some new insn generation macros. A xen-netback bug fix overlapped the addition of multi-queue support. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
