Creates new config variables PPC_CELL_NATIVE and PPC_IBM_CELL_BLADE.
The existing CONFIG_PPC_CELL is now used to denote the generic
Cell processor support.

PPC_CELL = make descends into platforms/cell
PPC_CELL_NATIVE = add bare metal support
PPC_IBM_CELL_BLADE = add blade device drivers, etc.

Also renames spu_priv1.c to spu_priv1_mmio.c.

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso ce2d2aedcc [PATCH] uml: arch Kconfig menu cleanups
*) mark as "EXPERIMENTAL" various items that either aren't very stable or
   that are actively crashing the setup of users which don't really need them
   (i.e.  HIGHMEM and 3-level pagetables on x86 - nobody needs either,
   everybody reports "I'm using it and getting trouble").

*) move net/Kconfig near to the rest of network configurations, and
   drivers/block/Kconfig near "Block layer" submenu.

*) it's useless and doesn't work well to force NETDEVICES on and to disable
   the prompt like it's done.  Better remove the attempt, and change that to a
   simple "default y if UML".

*) drop the warning about "report problems about HPPFS" - it's redundant
   anyway, as that's the usual procedure, and HPPFS users are especially
   technical (i.e.  they know reporting bugs is _good_).

Jamal Hadi Salim 253af4235d [NET]: Add IFB (Intermediate Functional Block) network device.
A new device to do intermidiate functional block in a system shared
manner.  To use the new functionality, you need to turn on
qos/classifier actions.

The new functionality can be grouped as:

1) qdiscs/policies that are per device as opposed to system wide.  ifb
allows for a device which can be redirected to thus providing an
impression of sharing.

2) Allows for queueing incoming traffic for shaping instead of
dropping.

Packets are redirected to this device using tc/action mirred redirect
construct. If they are sent to it by plain routing instead then they
will merely be dropped and the stats would indicate that.

Lennert Buytenhek 15d014d131 [PATCH] intel ixp2000 network driver
The way the hardware and firmware work is that there is one shared RX
queue and IRQ for a number of different network interfaces.  Due to this,
we would like to process received packets for every interface in the same
NAPI poll handler, so we need a pseudo-device to schedule polling on.

What the driver currently does is that it always schedules polling for
the first network interface in the list, and processes packets for every
interface in the poll handler for that first interface -- however, this
scheme breaks down if the first network interface happens to not be up,
since netif_rx_schedule_prep() checks netif_running().

sky2 apparently has the same issue, and Stephen Hemminger suggested a
way to work around this: create a variant of netif_rx_schedule_prep()
that does not check netif_running().  I implemented this locally and
called it netif_rx_schedule_prep_notup(), and it seems to work well,
but it's something that probably not everyone would be happy with.

The ixp2000 is an ARM CPU with a high-speed network interface in the
CPU itself (full duplex 4Gb/s or 10Gb/s depending on the IXP model.)
The CPU package also contains 8 or 16 (again depending on the IXP
model) 'microengines', which are somewhat primitive but very fast
and efficient processor cores which can be used to offload various
things from the main CPU.

This driver makes the high-speed network interface in the CPU visible
and usable as a regular linux network device.  Currently, it only
supports the Radisys ENP2611 IXP board, but adding support for other
board types should be fairly easy.

Matt Domsch b3f9b92a6e [PPP]: add PPP MPPE encryption module
From: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>

The patch below implements the Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption method
as a PPP compressor/decompressor.  This is necessary for Linux clients and
servers to interoperate with Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP) servers (either Microsoft PPTP servers or the poptop project) which
use MPPE to encrypt data when creating a VPN.

This patch differs from the kernel_ppp_mppe DKMS pacakge at
pptpclient.sourceforge.net by utilizing the kernel crypto routines rather
than providing its own SHA1 and arcfour implementations.

Minor changes to ppp_generic.c try to prevent a link from disabling
compression (in our case, the encryption) after it has started using
compression (encryption).

Feedback to <pptpclient-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> please.

Ananda Raju da6971d8ec [PATCH] S2io: Multi buffer mode support
Hi,
This patch  provides dynamic two buffer-mode and 3 buffer-mode options.
Previously 2 buffer-mode was compilation option. Now with this patch applied
one can load driver in 2 buffer-mode with module-load parameter

ie.
#insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=2

This patch also provides 3 buffer-mode which provides header separation
functionality. In 3 buffer-mode skb->data will have L2/L3/L4 headers and
"skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list->data" will have have L4 payload.
one can load driver in 3 buffer-mode with same above module-load parameter

ie.
#insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=3

Please review the patch.
