bf36076a67 net: Fix ipv6 neighbour unregister_sysctl_table warning
In my testing of 2.6.37 I was occassionally getting a warning about
sysctl table entries being unregistered in the wrong order.  Digging
in it turns out this dates back to the last great sysctl reorg done
where Al Viro introduced the requirement that sysctl directories
needed to be created before and destroyed after the files in them.

It turns out that in that great reorg /proc/sys/net/ipv6/neigh was
overlooked.  So this patch fixes that oversight and makes an annoying
warning message go away.

Move all shared mem code to bnx2x to avoid code duplication.  bnx2x now
performs:

- Read the FCoE and iSCSI max connection information.
- Read the iSCSI and FCoE MACs from NPAR configuration in shmem.
- Block the CNIC for the current function if there is neither FCoE nor
  iSCSI valid configuration by returning NULL from bnx2x_cnic_probe().

0c838ff1ad ipv4: Consolidate all default route selection implementations.
Both fib_trie and fib_hash have a local implementation of
fib_table_select_default().  This is completely unnecessary
code duplication.

Since we now remember the fib_table and the head of the fib
alias list of the default route, we can implement one single
generic version of this routine.

Looking at the fib_hash implementation you may get the impression
that it's possible for there to be multiple top-level routes in
the table for the default route.  The truth is, it isn't, the
insert code will only allow one entry to exist in the zero
prefix hash table, because all keys evaluate to zero and all
keys in a hash table must be unique.

The I/Q swapping is extremely important and should be dealt with extra care.
It will affects OFDM and CCK differently.

devices, it is in non-swapped status (but its swapped with respected to 6000/6005/6030).
so the CSR_GP_DRIVER_REG_BIT_RADIO_IQ_INVER register need to be set to support

ec831ea72e net: Add default_mtu() methods to blackhole dst_ops
When an IPSEC SA is still being set up, __xfrm_lookup() will return
-EREMOTE and so ip_route_output_flow() will return a blackhole route.
This can happen in a sndmsg call, and after d33e455337 ("net: Abstract
default MTU metric calculation behind an accessor.") this leads to a
crash in ip_append_data() because the blackhole dst_ops have no
default_mtu() method and so dst_mtu() calls a NULL pointer.

Fix this by adding default_mtu() methods (that simply return 0, matching
the old behavior) to the blackhole dst_ops.

The IPv4 part of this patch fixes a crash that I saw when using an IPSEC
VPN; the IPv6 part is untested because I don't have an IPv6 VPN, but it
looks to be needed as well.

bcf3cfd047 rt2x00: Convert rt2400pci interrupt handling to use tasklets
Fix interrupt processing on slow machines by using individual tasklets
for each different device interrupt. This ensures that while a RX or TX
status tasklet is scheduled only the according device interrupt is
masked and other interrupts such as TBTT can still be processed.

Also, this allows us to use tasklet_hi_schedule for TBTT processing
which is required to not send out beacons with a wrong DTIM count (due
to delayed periodic beacon updates). Furthermore, this improves the
latency between the TBTT and sending out buffered multi- and broadcast
traffic.

As a nice bonus, the interrupt handling overhead should be much lower.

Compile-tested only.
