The last step of netdevice registration was being done by a delayed
call, but because it was delayed, it was impossible to return any error
code if the class_device registration failed.
Side effects:
* one state in registration process is unnecessary.
* register_netdevice can sleep inside class_device registration/hotplug
* code in netdev_run_todo only does unregistration so it is simpler.

My commit 6bfd93c32a5065d0e858780b3beb0b667081601c broke the ARCH=ppc
compilation by using the is_kernel_addr() macro in asm/uaccess.h.
This fixes it by defining a suitable is_kernel_addr() for ARCH=ppc.

Based on analysis&patch from Robert Hentosch
Observed on a Dell PE6850 with 16GB
The problem occurs very early on, when the kernel allocates space for the
temporary memory map called bootmap. The bootmap overlaps the EBDA region.
EBDA region is not historically reserved in the e820 mapping. When the
bootmap is freed it marks the EBDA region as usable.
If you notice in setup.c there is already code to work around the EBDA
in reserve_ebda_region(), this check however occurs after the bootmap
is allocated and doesn't prevent the bootmap from using this range.
AK: I redid the original patch. Thanks also to Jan Beulich for
spotting some mistakes.

The patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI interrupt entry, which gets
re-used, and the IRQ is assigned to another unrelated device. The patch
corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is
avoided. Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by
original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up. The VIA chipset uses
4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot
handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices. The patch corrects this
problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.

Extend the support of attribute groups in class_device's to allow
groups to be created as part of the registration process. This allows
network device's to avoid race between registration and creating
groups.
Note that unlike attributes that are a property of the class object,
the groups are a property of the class_device object. This is done
because there are different types of network devices (wireless for
example).

This patch fixes a deadlock situation in the receive path by allowing
temporary spillover of the receive buffer.
- If the chunk we receive has a tsn that immediately follows the ctsn,
accept it even if we run out of receive buffer space and renege data with
higher TSNs.
- Once we accept one chunk in a packet, accept all the remaining chunks
even if we run out of receive buffer space.

This patch is the first step towards rate control inside softmac.
The txrates substructure has been extended to provide
different fields for different types of packets (management/data,
unicast/multicast). These fields are updated on association to values
compatible with the access point we are associating to.
Drivers can then use the new ieee80211softmac_suggest_txrate() function
call when deciding which rate to transmit each frame at. This is
immensely useful for ZD1211, and bcm can use it too.
The user can still specify a rate through iwconfig, which is matched
for all transmissions (assuming the rate they have specified is in
the rate set required by the AP).
At a later date, we can incorporate automatic rate management into
the ieee80211softmac_recalc_txrates() function.
This patch also removes the mcast_fallback field. Sam Leffler pointed
out that this field is meaningless, because no driver will ever be
retransmitting mcast frames (they are not acked).

zd1211 with softmac and wpa_supplicant revealed an issue with softmac
and the use of workqueues. Some of the work functions actually
reschedule themselves, so this meant that there could still be
pending work after flush_scheduled_work() had been called during
ieee80211softmac_stop().
This patch introduces a "running" flag which is used to ensure that
rescheduling does not happen in this situation.
I also used this flag to ensure that softmac's hooks into ieee80211 are
non-operational once the stop operation has been started. This simply
makes softmac a little more robust, because I could crash it easily
by receiving frames in the short timeframe after shutting down softmac
and before turning off the ZD1211 radio. (ZD1211 is now fixed as well!)

We have a case where __get_user and __put_user can validly be used
on kernel addresses in interrupt context - namely, the alignment
exception handler, as our get/put_unaligned just do a single access
and rely on the alignment exception handler to fix things up in the
rare cases where the cpu can't handle it in hardware. Thus we can
get alignment exceptions in the network stack at interrupt level.
The alignment exception handler does a __get_user to read the
instruction and blows up in might_sleep().
Since a __get_user on a kernel address won't actually ever sleep,
this makes the might_sleep conditional on the address being less
than PAGE_OFFSET.

Currently we rely on the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_LRU flag being set correctly
to know whether we need to fiddle with page LRU state after stealing it,
however for some origins we just don't know if the page is on the LRU
list or not.
So remove PIPE_BUF_FLAG_LRU and do this check/add manually in pipe_to_file()
instead.

When iptables userspace adds an ipt_standard_target, it calculates the size
of the entire entry as:
sizeof(struct ipt_entry) + XT_ALIGN(sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target))
ipt_standard_target looks like this:
struct xt_standard_target
{
struct xt_entry_target target;
int verdict;
};
xt_entry_target contains a pointer, so when compiled for 64 bit the
structure gets an extra 4 byte of padding at the end. On 32 bit
architectures where iptables aligns to 8 byte it will also have 4
byte padding at the end because it is only 36 bytes large.
The compat_ipt_standard_fn in the kernel adjusts the offsets by
sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target) - sizeof(struct compat_ipt_standard_target),
which will always result in 4, even if the structure from userspace
was already padded to a multiple of 8. On x86 this works out by
accident because userspace only aligns to 4, on all other
architectures this is broken and causes incorrect adjustments to
the size and following offsets.
