Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6: (1429 commits) net: Allow dependancies of FDDI & Tokenring to be modular. igb: Fix build warning when DCA is disabled. net: Fix warning fallout from recent NAPI interface changes. gro: Fix potential use after free sfc: If AN is enabled, always read speed/duplex from the AN advertising bits sfc: When disabling the NIC, close the device rather than unregistering it sfc: SFT9001: Add cable diagnostics sfc: Add support for multiple PHY self-tests sfc: Merge top-level functions for self-tests sfc: Clean up PHY mode management in loopback self-test sfc: Fix unreliable link detection in some loopback modes sfc: Generate unique names for per-NIC workqueues 802.3ad: use standard ethhdr instead of ad_header 802.3ad: generalize out mac address initializer 802.3ad: initialize ports LACPDU from const initializer 802.3ad: remove typedef around ad_system 802.3ad: turn ports is_individual into a bool 802.3ad: turn ports is_enabled into a bool 802.3ad: make ntt bool ixgbe: Fix set_ringparam in ixgbe to use the same memory pools. ... Fixed trivial IPv4/6 address printing conflicts in fs/cifs/connect.c due to the conversion to %pI (in this networking merge) and the addition of doing IPv6 addresses (from the earlier merge of CIFS).
