The drivers were touching net queue before it has been started, so
without this patch, the drivers will potentially WARN at
net/core/dev.c:1328.

I don't have the hardware for the drivers below, so this patch is
untested, and thus should be carefully peer reviewed.

tc35815.c
au1000_eth.c
bfin_mac.c
macb.c
^ The four drivers are using phylib, they're calling netif_start_queue()
in open() callback. So trivially remove netif_tx_schedule_all().
Phylib will handle netif_carrier_*().

cpmac.c
fec_mpc52xx.c
fs_enet/fs_enet-main.c
sh_eth.c
^ The same as above, but these were also needlessly calling
netif_carrier_*() functions. So removed queue calls and also remove
carrier calls, since phylib will handle it. fs_enet-main.c also didn't
call netif_start_queue() at open(), this is fixed now.

We now have struct net_device_stats embedded in struct net_device,
and the default ->get_stats() hook does the obvious thing for us.

Run through drivers/net/* and remove the driver-local storage of
statistics, and driver-local ->get_stats() hook where applicable.

This was just the low-hanging fruit in drivers/net; plenty more drivers
remain to be updated.

I noticed that many source files include <linux/pci.h> while they do
not appear to need it. Here is an attempt to clean it all up.

In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all
files including <linux/pci.h> but without any other occurence of "pci"
or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I
compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the
false positives manually.

My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false
positives remaining. Untested files are:

arch/alpha/kernel/err_common.c
arch/alpha/kernel/err_ev6.c
arch/alpha/kernel/err_ev7.c
arch/ia64/sn/kernel/huberror.c
arch/ia64/sn/kernel/xpnet.c
arch/m68knommu/kernel/dma.c
arch/mips/lib/iomap.c
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/ras.c
arch/ppc/8260_io/enet.c

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Most PHYs connect to an ethernet controller over a GMII or MII
interface.  However, a growing number are connected over
different interfaces, such as RGMII or SGMII.

The ethernet driver will tell the PHY what type of connection it
is by setting it manually, or passing it in through phy_connect
(or phy_attach).

Changes include:
* Updates to documentation
* Updates to PHY Lib consumers
* Changes to PHY Lib to add interface support
* Some minor changes to whitespace in phy.h
* gianfar driver now detects interface and passes appropriate
  value to PHY Lib

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts throug...

As I promised last week, here is the first pass at removing all
unnecessary printk's that exist in network device drivers currently in
promiscuous mode.  The duplicate messages are not needed so they have
been removed.  Some of these drivers are quite old and might not need an
update, but I did them all anyway.

I am currently auditing the remaining conditional printk's and will send
out a patch for those soon.

With Au1xx0 Ethernet driver, TX bytes/packets always remain zero.  The
problem seems to be that when packet has been transmitted, the length word
in DMA buffer is zero.

The patch updates the TX stats when a buffer is fed to DMA.  The initial

2005.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
