4ec2411980 [NET]: Do not check netif_running() and carrier state in ->poll()
Drivers do this to try to break out of the ->poll()'ing loop
when the device is being brought administratively down.

Now that we have a napi_disable() "pending" state we are going
to solve that problem generically.

88d3aafdae [ETHTOOL] Provide default behaviors for a few ethtool sub-ioctls
For the operations
	get-tx-csum
	get-sg
	get-tso
	get-ufo
the default ethtool_op_xxx behavior is fine for all drivers, so we
permit op==NULL to imply the default behavior.

This provides a more uniform behavior across all drivers, eliminating
ethtool(8) "ioctl not supported" errors on older drivers that had
not been updated for the latest sub-ioctls.

The ethtool_op_xxx() functions are left exported, in case anyone
wishes to call them directly from a driver-private implementation --
a not-uncommon case.  Should an ethtool_op_xxx() helper remain unused
for a while, except by net/core/ethtool.c, we can un-export it at a
later date.

09f75cd7bf [NET] drivers/net: statistics cleanup -- save memory and shrink code
We now have struct net_device_stats embedded in struct net_device,
and the default ->get_stats() hook does the obvious thing for us.

Run through drivers/net/* and remove the driver-local storage of
statistics, and driver-local ->get_stats() hook where applicable.

This was just the low-hanging fruit in drivers/net; plenty more drivers
remain to be updated.

10d024c1b2 [NET]: Nuke SET_MODULE_OWNER macro.
It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to
remove it.  The number of people that could object because they're
maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.

5dcddfae63 xen-netfront: remove dead code
This patch removes some residual dead code left over from removing the
"flip" receive mode.  This patch doesn't change the generated output
at all, since gcc already realized it was dead.

This resolves the "regression" reported by Adrian.

bea3348eef [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.
Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.

In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.

The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:

	int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)

to

	int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)

The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract).  The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.

The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.

Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler.  Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.

With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra,
Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan.

[ Ported to current tree and all drivers converted.  Integrated
  Stephen's follow-on kerneldoc additions, and restored poll_list
  handling to the old style to fix mutual exclusion issues.  -DaveM ]
