	Following are three fixes to fix locking problems and
silence locking-related warnings in the current 2.6.24-rc.

	patch 1: fix locking in sysfs primary/active selection

	Call core network functions with expected locks to
eliminate potential deadlock and silence warnings.

	patch 2: fix ASSERT_RTNL that produces spurious warnings

	Relocate ASSERT_RTNL to remove a false warning; after patch,
ASSERT is located in code that holds only RTNL (additional locks were
causing the ASSERT to trip)

	patch 3: fix locking during alb failover and slave removal

	Fix all call paths into alb_fasten_mac_swap to hold only RTNL.
Eliminates deadlock and silences warnings.

	Patches are against the current netdev-2.6#upstream branch.

	Please apply for 2.6.24.

	-J
