net-next-2.6 is live

[David Miller]

Ok, I've pushed all of the patches I've applied for 2.6.30 off to:

	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6.git

Enjoy.

Dave, the net-next tree seems to be missing this patch...

e1000e: drop lltx, remove unnecessary lock

 LLTX is deprecated and complicated, don't use it.  It was observed by Don Ash
 <donash4@gmail.com> that e1000e was acquiring this lock in the NAPI cleanup
 path.  This is obviously a bug, as this is a leftover from when e1000
 supported multiple tx queues and fake netdevs.

 another user reported this to us and tested routing with the 2.6.27 kernel and
 this patch and reported a 3.5 % improvement in packets forwarded in a
 multi-port test on 82571 parts.

Another lost change, sorry, I added it and let's hope it sticks
this so time.
