Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.
In these situations, the code roughly looks like:
dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);
[optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);
... skb->tail ...
But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
skb->tail. So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
other than skb->data in these cases.
Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
the skb->data and skb->tail pointers. It really just wanted
to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
to do instead.
Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
cleanups I have planned simpler to merge. In those cleanups,
skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.

The spin loop in 8139cp is limited to 100 iterations when pulling hardware
stats. There is no allowance for processor speed so on a fast machine, the
stats may not be available that fast. Also, if the board doesn't return
soon enough make sure turn the address back off to prevent later updates
when memory has gone away.

The previous patch did not compile cleanly on all architectures so
here's a fixed one.
Use the DMA_{64,32}BIT_MASK constants from dma-mapping.h when calling
pci_set_dma_mask() or pci_set_consistent_dma_mask()

Patch adds netpoll support to the 8139cp driver.
The patch needs some tests because I have no NIC of this type for testing.
Applies against linux-2.6.9-rc2-mm3

Not sure if I sent this already...
Convert 8139cp to use new module_param() not old MODULE_PARM

- suspicious length in pci_unmap_single;
- wait for the last frag before freeing the relevant skb;
- no need to crash when facing some unexpected csum combination.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
