This patch adds VLAN hardware support for Rhine chips.
The driver uses up to 3 additional bytes of buffer space when extracting
802.1Q headers; PKT_BUF_SZ should still be sufficient.
The initial code was provided by David Lv. I reworked it to use standard
kernel facilities. Coding style clean up mostly follows via-velocity.
Adapted to new interface for VLAN acceleration (per request of Jesse Gross).

Meanwhile, here is the patch for net-next-2.6
Your patch then can be applied after mine.

[PATCH] net: RCU conversion of dev_getbyhwaddr() and arp_ioctl()
dev_getbyhwaddr() was called under RTNL.
Rename it to dev_getbyhwaddr_rcu() and change all its caller to now use
RCU locking instead of RTNL.
Change arp_ioctl() to use RCU instead of RTNL locking.
Note: this fix a dev refcount bug in llc

Oh well, of course I must first fix the bug in net-2.6, and wait David
pull the fix in net-next-2.6 before sending this rcu conversion.

[PATCH net-2.6] llc: fix a device refcount imbalance
commit abf9d537fe (llc: add support for SO_BINDTODEVICE) added one
refcount imbalance in llc_ui_bind(), because dev_getbyhwaddr() doesnt
take a reference on device, while dev_get_by_index() does.
Fix this using RCU locking. And since an RCU conversion will be done for
2.6.38 for dev_getbyhwaddr(), put the rcu_read_lock/unlock exactly at
their final place.

This patch adds support for serial/USB-serial CAN adapters implementing the
LAWICEL ASCII protocol for CAN frame transport over serial lines.
The driver implements the SLCAN line discipline and is heavily based on the

to apply changes of the SLIP driver to the SLCAN driver easily.

If we are using a legacy interrupt, our IRQ may be shared and our
interrupt handler may be called even though interrupts are disabled on
the NIC. When we change ring sizes, we reallocate the event queue and
the interrupt handler may use an invalid pointer when called for
another device's interrupt.
Maintain a legacy_irq_enabled flag and test that at the top of the
interrupt handler. Note that this problem results from the need to
work around broken INT_ISR0 reads, and does not affect the legacy
interrupt handler for Falcon A1.

This patch adds a generic infrastructure for policy-based dequeueing of
TX packets and provides two policies:
* a simple FIFO policy (which is the default) and
* a priority based policy (set via socket options).
Both policies honour the tx_qlen sysctl for the maximum size of the write
queue (can be overridden via socket options).
The priority policy uses skb->priority internally to assign an u32 priority
identifier, using the same ranking as SO_PRIORITY. The skb->priority field
is set to 0 when the packet leaves DCCP. The priority is supplied as ancillary
data using cmsg(3), the patch also provides the requisite parsing routines.

Whenever we add DMA descriptors to a TX ring and update the ring
pointer, the TX DMA engine must first read the new DMA descriptors and
then start reading packet data. However, all released Solarflare 10G
controllers have a 'TX push' feature that allows us to reduce latency
by writing the first new DMA descriptor along with the pointer update.
This is only useful when the queue is empty. The hardware should
ignore the pushed descriptor if the queue is not empty, but this check
is buggy, so we must do it in software.
In order to tell whether a TX queue is empty, we need to compare the
previous transmission count (write_count) and completion count
(read_count). However, if we do that every time we update the ring
pointer then read_count may ping-pong between the caches of two CPUs
running the transmission and completion paths for the queue.
Therefore, we split the check for an empty queue between the
completion path and the transmission path:
- Add an empty_read_count field representing a point at which the
completion path saw the TX queue as empty.
- Add an old_write_count field for use on the completion path.
- On the completion path, whenever read_count reaches or passes
old_write_count the TX queue may be empty. We then read
write_count, set empty_read_count if read_count == write_count,
and update old_write_count.
- On the transmission path, we read empty_read_count. If it's set, we
compare it with the value of write_count before the current set of
descriptors was added. If they match, the queue really is empty and
we can use TX push.

We added some security checks in commit 57fe93b374
(filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory) to close a
potential leak of kernel information to user.
This added a potential extra cost at run time, while we can perform a
check of the filter itself, to make sure a malicious user doesnt try to
abuse us.
This patch adds a check_loads() function, whole unique purpose is to
make this check, allocating a temporary array of mask. We scan the
filter and propagate a bitmask information, telling us if a load M(K) is
allowed because a previous store M(K) is guaranteed. (So that
sk_run_filter() can possibly not read unitialized memory)
Note: this can uncover application bug, denying a filter attach,
previously allowed.
