* 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6: (867 commits)
[SKY2]: status polling loop (post merge)

[TCP]: No need to re-count fackets_out/sacked_out at RTO
[TCP]: Extract tcp_match_queue_to_sack from sacktag code
[TCP]: Kill almost unused variable pcount from sacktag
[TCP]: Fix mark_head_lost to ignore R-bit when trying to mark L
[TCP]: Add bytes_acked (ABC) clearing to FRTO too
[IPv6]: Update setsockopt(IPV6_MULTICAST_IF) to support RFC 3493, try2
[NETFILTER]: x_tables: add missing ip6t_modulename aliases
[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_tcp: fix connection reopening
[QETH]: fix qeth_main.c
[NETLINK]: fib_frontend build fixes

[9P]: build fix with !CONFIG_SYSCTL
[NET]: Fix dev_put() and dev_hold() comments
[NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchronious
[NET]: unify netlink kernel socket recognition
[NET]: cleanup 3rd argument in netlink_sendskb
...
Fix up conflicts manually in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
and my new least favourite crap, the "mod_devicetable" support in the
files include/linux/mod_devicetable.h and scripts/mod/file2alias.c.
(The latter files seem to be explicitly _designed_ to get conflicts when
different subsystems work with them - that have an absolutely horrid
lack of subsystem separation!)
