netns: Fix crash by making igmp per namespace
This patch makes the multicast socket to be per namespace.
When a network namespace is created, other than the init_net and a
multicast packet is received, the kernel goes to a hang or a kernel panic.
How to reproduce ?
* create a child network namespace
* create a pair virtual device veth
* ip link add type veth
* move one side to the pair network device to the child namespace
* ip link set netns <childpid> dev veth1
* ping -I veth0 224.0.0.1
The bug appears because the function ip_mc_init_dev does not initialize
the different multicast fields as it exits because it is not the init_net.

adding a tag to the device name a la eth0@0 etc. The tag is used for
usual device config just as before. Also a new flag is introduced to mirror
queue_map with sending threads smp_processor_id() QUEUE_MAP_CPU.
An example: We use 4 CPU's to send to one 10g interface (eth0)
and we use the new tagging to send a mix of packet sizes, 64, 576 and
1500 bytes. Also we use TX queues according to smp_processor_id()

net/core: Allow certain receives on inactive slave.
Allow a packet_type that specifies the exact device to receive
even on an inactive bonding slave devices. This is important for some
L2 protocols such as LLDP and FCoE. This can eventually be used
for the bonding special cases as well.

bonding: Don't destroy bonding master when removing slave via sysfs
It is wrong to destroy a bonding master from a context that uses the sysfs
of that bond. When last IPoIB slave is unenslaved from by writing to a
sysfs file (for bond0 this would be /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves)
the driver tries to destroy the bond. This is wrong and can lead to a
lockup or a crash. This fix lets the bonding master stay and relies on
the user to destroy the bonding master if necessary (i.e. before module
ib_ipoib is unloaded)
This patch affects only bonds of IPoIB slaves. Ethernet slaves stay
unaffected.

bonding: refactor mii monitor
Refactor mii monitor. As with the previous ARP monitor refactor,
the motivation for this is to handle locking rationally (in this case,
removing conditional locking) and generally clean up the code.
This patch breaks up the monolithic mii monitor into two phases:
an inspection phase, followed by an optional commit phase. The commit phase
is the only portion that requires RTNL or makes changes to state, and is
only called when inspection finds something to change.

When a bad seq ACK is received, tcp_v4_md5_do_lookup(skb->sk, ip_hdr(skb)->daddr))

NULL at that moment, so kernel panic happens.

[netdrvr] Drivers should not set IFF_* flag themselves
Some hardware set promisc when they are requested to set IFF_ALLMULTI flag.
It's ok, but if drivers set IFF_PROMISC flag when they set promisc,
it will broken upper layer handle for promisc and allmulti.
In addition, drivers can use their own hardware programming to make it.
So do not allow drivers to set IFF_* flags.
This is a general driver fix, so I didn't split it to pieces and send
to specific driver maintainers.

dm9000: Support MAC address setting through platform data.
The dm9000 driver reads the chip's MAC address from the attached EEPROM. When
no EEPROM is present, or when the MAC address is invalid, it falls back to
reading the address from the chip.
This patch lets platform code set the desired MAC address through platform
data.

Fix possible bug where end of receive buffer could be overwritten.
The allocation needs to allow for the reserved space. This would only happen
if device received packet greater than Ethernet standard MTU.
Change this driver to use netdev_alloc_skb rather than setting skb->dev
directly. For the initial allocation it doesn't need to be GFP_ATOMIC.

Introduce the speed_hi field to ethtool_cmd, using the reserved space,
to expand the speed field to 2^32 Megabits/second.
Making this field expansion now gives us plenty of time to fix up the
