In the future dst entries will be neigh-less. In that environment we
need to have an easy transition point for current users of
dst->neighbour outside of the packet output fast path.

Get rid of all of the useless and costly indirection
by doing the neigh hash table lookup directly inside
of the neighbour binding.
Rename from arp_bind_neighbour to rt_bind_neighbour.
Use new helpers {__,}ipv4_neigh_lookup()
In rt_bind_neighbour() get rid of useless tests which
are never true in the context this function is called,
namely dev is never NULL and the dst->neighbour is
always NULL.

IPv4 over firewire needs to be able to remove ARP entries
from the ARP cache that belong to nodes that are removed, because
IPv4 over firewire uses ARP packets for private information
about nodes.
This information becomes invalid as soon as node drops
off the bus and when it reconnects, its only possible
to start talking to it after it responded to an ARP packet.
But ARP cache prevents such packets from being sent.

This one will need to set the IPV4_DEVCONF_ALL(PROXY_ARP), but
there's no ways to get the net right in place, so we have to
pull one from the inet_ioctl's struct sock.

This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
- make the following needlessly global function static:
- arp.c: arp_rcv()
- remove the following unused EXPORT_SYMBOL's:
- devinet.c: devinet_ioctl
- fib_frontend.c: ip_rt_ioctl
- inet_hashtables.c: inet_bind_bucket_create
- inet_hashtables.c: inet_bind_hash
- tcp_input.c: sysctl_tcp_abc
- tcp_ipv4.c: sysctl_tcp_tw_reuse
- tcp_output.c: sysctl_tcp_mtu_probing
- tcp_output.c: sysctl_tcp_base_mss

Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond()
decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original
device into packet_type->func() as an argument.
It remains to be seen whether we can use this same
exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well.

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!
