mv643xx_eth: Fix race condition in mv643xx_eth_free_tx_descs

This bug was found and isolated by Thibaut VARENE <T-Bone@parisc-linux.org>
and Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@o2.pl>.  This patch is a modification of their
fixes.  We acquire and release the lock for each descriptor that is freed
to minimize the time the lock is held.

b2ef7858db Revert "[mv643xx] Add pci device table for auto module loading."
This reverts commit 4596c75c23 as
requested by Olaf Hering. It causes compile errors, and says Olaf:

  "This change is also wrong, the autoloading works perfect with 2.6.18,
   no need to add random PCI ids.

   See commit a0245f7ad5, platform devices
   have now a modalias entry in sysfs.  The network card is not a PCI
   device."

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

364c6badde [NET]: Clean up skb_linearize
The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised.  So we can
replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but
is more general.

Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear
or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that.

Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's
useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's
either non-linear or cloned.

Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it
anymore.  If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

Misc bugs fixed by this patch:

* via-velocity error handling (also, no SG => no frags)

The SET_NETDEV_DEV has to be done before a call to register_netdev.  With
the new patch below, the device symlink for the platform device was
created.  Unfortunately, after the 4 ls commands, the network connection
died.  No idea if the box crashed or if something else broke, lost remote
access.

Provide sysfs 'device' in /class/net/ethN Also, set module owner field,
like pcnet32 driver does.

Also, attempt to recover if mv643xx_eth_start_xmit() is called when
there are fewer free tx descriptors than expected.

The BUG_ON() call we are replacing was hit on a tx_timeout that
called netif_wake_queue(), indirectly via netif_device_attach(),
even though we did not have enough free tx descriptors.

8f5187035a [PATCH] mv643xx_eth: Hold spinlocks only where needed
This driver has historically held a spin_lock during the entire open
and stop functions and while receiving multiple packets.  This is
unecessarily long and holds locks during calls that may sleep.
This patch reduces the size of windows where locks are held.
