This patchset is a resubmit of the network related part of a patchseries
titled "We must use rcu_barrier() on module unload".  Just to make it
easier for DaveM to pick it up.

If an unloadable module uses RCU callbacks, it need to use
rcu_barrier() so that the module may be safely unloaded.

For documentation see:

 Documentation/RCU/rcubarrier.txt

Patchset is made on top of Linus'es tree, 4075ea8c54a7506844a69f674990241e7766357b.
But I have testet is applies to net-next-2.6.

(This time I don't use "stg mail --auto" as it does not seem to do
appropiate double quoting of mail addresses with a "." char in.
Thus hoping vger will not eat my mails again again!)
