Yet more updates. Syncing with Andrew Morton, and more syncing with Al
Viro.

No users of init_etherdev remain in the tree. (yay!)

BK users:

   Also handle ioremap failure.

<jgarzik@redhat.com> (03/11/16 1.1493)
   [netdrvr tc35815] many fixes, major and minor

   * s/int/unsigned long/ for 'flags' arg passed to spin_lock_irqsave
   * s/unsigned int/unsigned long/ for I/O port addresses
   * no need to prevent tc35815_probe from being called multiple times...
     PCI layer will do things properly for us.
   * call pci_enable_device before accessing hardware, before obtaining
     irq number, and before obtaining I/O port addresses.
   * remove bogus 'if (pdev)' check in PCI API ->probe function
   * call SET_M0DULE_OWNER, remove MOD_{INC,DEC}_USE_COUNT
   * (cleanup) don't bother casting from a void*
   * (cleanup) mark debugging function with #if 0, just like the caller
   * Fix many printk statements to indicate that tc_readl() returns
     a long, not an int.
   * (cleanup) remove unused tc35815_proc_info function

   [e1000] Internal SERDES link detect; delay after SPI

   * Internal SERDES designs must use indirect method to sample
     link status based on sampling MAC sync bits.
   * Need 10 msec delay after SPI eeprom write, otherwise back-to-
     back writes can get corrupted.
   * Allow for setup of multiple MAC addresses (not used for
     Linux - shared code change).
   * Updated comment block.

   [e1000] exit polling loop if interface is brought down

   * Exit polling loop if interface is brought down.

   [e1000] improve Tx flush method

   * Flush queued in-flight Tx descriptors when link is lost. 8254x stops
     processing Tx descriptors when link is lost, so outstanding Tx
     buffers will not be returned to OS unless we flush the Tx descriptor
     ring. This patch move the flush from the watchdog timer callback
     to process context to work around some issue with holding xmit_lock
     in timer callback.

   [e1000] print message if user overrides default ITR

   [e1000] 82547 interrupt assert/de-assert re-ordering

   * 82547 needs interrupt disable/enable to keep interrupt assertion
     state synced between 82547 and APIC. 82547 will re-order
     assert and de-assert messages if hub link bus is busy (heavy
     traffic). Disabling interrupt on device works around re-
     order issue.

<scott.feldman@intel.com> (03/11/16 1.1484)
   [e1000] use unsigned long for I/O base addr

   * Use unsigned long for I/O base addr; can be 64-bit on some archs.

     endianness issue.

   * Use pdev->irq rather than netdev->irq for interrupt
     registration in anticipation of MSI interrupt API support.

   [netdrvr 3c527] remove cli/sti


       Richard Procter and I worked to remove cli/sti to add proper SMP support (I did the original stuff and Richard did the actual current code :)).

       Besides that, Richard did a great jog improving the perfomance of the driver quite a bit:

       - Improve mc32_command by 770% (438% non-inlined) over the semaphore version (at a cost of 1 sem + 2 completions per driver).

       - Removed mutex covering mc32_send_packet (hard_start_xmit). This lets the interrupt handler operate concurrently and removes unnecessary locking. It makes the code only slightly more brittle

       Original post:

   http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=106438449315202&w=2

       Since it didn't apply cleanly against 2.6.0-test6, I forward ported it. Patch attached.

       Jeff, please consider applying,

       Thanks.

   [PATCH] remove dev_get from wanrouter

   The call to dev_get() in wanrouter_device_new_if is racy and redundant and should
   be removed. The later 'register_netdev()' does the same test internally and will
   return the appropriate error if the name already exists.

   This patch is against 2.6.0-test6.
   Resend of earlier patch because it was ignored, or missed.
