netdev-2.6.git frozen

Similar to David's recent announcement, netdev-2.6.git is now closed to
new features.

Though really, [my fault] I should have posted this as soon as the merge
window opened. The stuff that goes into each new release, when the
merge window opens, should be stuff that has already been through a
round of testing in -mm.

The updates presented in netdev -- e100, e1000, ixgb and sky2 -- will go
upstream tomorrow. Everything else will be fixed.

And the message for the future is: don't wait until the merge window
opens, to submit your test. Doing so means it doesn't get the normal
amount of testing and review, and is thus discouraged.
