net-2.6.20 rebased

net-2.6.20 rebased

[David Miller]

I just rebased net-2.6.20 at:

  master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6.20.git

Al Viro has been going crazy with endianness and checksum type
sparse annotations, which brings the patch count up to 171.
Not bad for how long the net-2.6.20 tree has been open :-)

I'm moving over the weekend, but never fear I've already made sure I
can "ping" my new house and thus the internet is working and waiting
for me when I get there.  I expect a total email down time of a day or
two, I should be close to %100 next Monday or Tuesday.  In the
interim, while my machines are moving with me, I have vger.kernel.org
handling my email.  So if something strange happens to my email,
that's why.

The only changes I didn't get to yet are ipv6 patches from Ville
Nuorvala.  I'll try to get those in tomorrow, but I can't guarentee
that.  If not, I'll get to it next week.

Feel free to still bomb me with patches though :-)

FWIW, with these patches in we have net/ nearly endian-clean.  Two
major exceptions are ieee80211 and sctp.  I think I've got more or
less sane way to deal with the latter, it won't be fun (and yes,
that's the queue I'm currently getting into shape).  A bunch of
genuine bugs in there, too, especially when it comes to sctp+ipv6...

Looking forward to seeing that stuff Al.
