sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.
This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.
For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

Connection hangs when using EDDP mode because sk_protocol is NULL
when skb has been copied via skb_copy. This results in dropping
packets.
Also keep MAC address after recovery of Virtual NICs so that
traffic can flow again and duplicate statements in
qeth_dev_set_route_store removed.

[PATCH 7/9] s390: qeth driver fixes [4/6]
From: Frank Pavlic <fpavlic@de.ibm.com>
- fix kernel crash due to race,
set card->state to SOFTSETUP after
card and card->dev are initialized properly.
- remove CONFIG_QETH_PERF_STATS, use sysfs attribute instead,
as we want to have the ability to turn on/off the
statistics at runtime.

[patch 3/6] s390: qeth driver cleanups
From: Ursula Braun <braunu@de.ibm.com>
- code analyzing tool BEAM has found some unreachable
and unnecessary statements and also conditions
which are always true.
- removed some useless MII code since OSA card will never
allow to set such values.

drivers/s390 and include/asm-s390 (none present in arch/s390).
- Add newline at end of arch/s390/lib/Makefile to avoid diff message.

This patch introduces new feature in qeth:
qeth enhancement provides the device driver support for
the Communication Controller for Linux on System z9 and zSeries
(CCL), which is software that enables running the Network Control
Program (NCP) on a zSeries machine. The OSA CDLC support is based
on a new IBM mainframe CHPID type called Open Systems Adaper for
NCP (OSN). In case of OSN qeth communicates with the type-OSN
OSA-card on one hand, and with the CCL-kernel-component Network
Device Handler (NDH) on the other.

[patch 3/4] s390: TSO related fixes in qeth driver
From: Frank Pavlic <pavlic@de.ibm.com>
TSO related fixes :
- changing value of large_send attribute while network traffic
is running caused program check and thus device recovery.
- Due to hardware restriction discard packet when it exceeds 60K
otherwise qeth will cause program checks and thus traffic stall
when trying to send such huge packets.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
