I'll unload some accumulated net patches. I can't say that I've looked at
them very closely.

I'll be quiet for the next few days as I try to discover why
sparc64 now explodes after the past week of changes. I'm
heavily suspecting the 4-level page table stuff. wli kept
saying that he was having trouble getting his sparc boxes
working with the -mm tree over the past month and that's about
how long the 4-level page table stuff has been in there.
What's odd is that Andi's original 4-level page table patch
he gave to me worked just fine on sparc64, but it's been
changed a lot.

I eventually narrowed this down to something associated with some
unusual core fault handling changes with an unclear relationship to
Andi's 4-level code. Something odd was going on with spec-guided
definitions of pte_read(), pte_write(), et al.
sun4u seemed to do okay with Andi's earlier code in my testing; later
problems seemed to stem from elsewhere (e.g. the ioctl bogon).

I'll push the drivers/net stuff through tomorrow, after sleep :)

Time for me to unload some accumulated cruft. Please let me know which if
any of these patchs I should just drop.
