From Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

1) implement missing ip_conntrack_protocol_unregister function
2) export ip_conntrack_unexpect_related symbol
3) add support for destination nat on locally initiated connections
4) add hooks for the filtering of ARP packets

Robert Olsson, and Alexey Kuznetsov.  This changeset adds
the framework and implementation, but drivers need to be
ported to NAPI in order to take advantage of the new
facilities.  NAPI is fully backwards compatible, current
drivers will continue to work as they always have.

NAPI is a way for dealing with high packet load.  It allows
the driver to disable the RX interrupts on the card and enter
a polling mode.  Another way to describe NAPI would be as
implicit mitigation.  Once the device enters this polling
mode, it will exit back to interrupt based processing when
the receive packet queue is purged.

A full porting and description document is found at:
Documentation/networking/NAPI_HOWTO.txt
and this also makes reference to Usenix papers on the
web and other such resources available on NAPI.

NAPI has been found to not only increase packet processing
rates, it also gives greater fairness to the other interfaces
in the system which are not experiencing high packet load.

by struct sock cleanups.

- CodingStyle cleanups
- Adds MODULE_LICENSE
- Fix missing release_sock calls
- Remove leftovers from sock cleanup patches
- Use skb_queue_purge

1) Add hw acceleration hooks for device drivers.
2) Move private declarations out of public includes.
3) Mark file local functions and data as static.
4) Use a small hash table for VLAN group lookups.
5) Correct all the locking and device ref counting.
6) No longer mark it as CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL.

Here are two small compile fixes for x86-64 in 2.5.6pre2.
- Remove call to schedule_tail.
- Fix inline assembly of semaphores to work with latest gcc 3.1.

This patch adds unicode support and wants to be applied on top of the LFS
one. It uses a fake nls module to do the (little endian) unicode
translation.

This patch adds LFS and moves some smb operations into per-protocol level
structs. It wants the nls patch to applied already.

Fixes smbfs oopsing on failed nls translations and maps unknown chars to
:#### strings. Also PATHLEN vs NAMELEN mixups.

This patch enables PCI buses on nodes above node 0 for
the NUMA-Q architecture. It also enables node-directed
port/IO, and cleans up a couple of tiny things that only
affect CONFIG_MULTIQUAD.

  
the patch is against 2.5.6-pre3 and contains:
        - ethtool support;
        - using mii.h for the MII registers and constants;
        - 2 more device/vendor IDs added;

This is one of the very early steps on cleaning up the SCSI cdrom
driver.  It gets rid of directly accessing the scsi_CDs array in favour
of using the handle we get from the generic cdrom layer.  Also uses
local vars instead of many grouped scsi_CDs accesses in other places.

The gain is to get rid of the global, static array of CDROMS
in the end.

ehci-0306, iso, philips, speedups
  
      - adds preliminary highspeed ISO support
      - tweaks the driver to support the Philips EHCI
      - does less in the IRQ handler
      - avoids accessing one immutable PCI register
  
The ISO support should be enough to start writing
drivers, not that I know of any ISO devices that are
really available yet, but it's not fully cooked yet.
  
As a functional milestone, this means Linux now
handles all kinds of highspeed device I/O.  (But it
doesn't yet handle split periodic transactions, to
full or low speed devices through USB 2.0 hubs.)
    
Thanks to Rory Bolt for the non-ISO bits here!

kill all subsidiary threads in a thread group when the main thread
exits.

Features:

 - It sends the subsidiary threads SIGKILL with SI_DETHREAD.

 - Subsidiary threads doing an execve() just leave the thread group (rather
   than forcing the master thread to do an execve() which would be more POSIX
   like).

hcd-0305, periodic and pci fixup
  
      - removes the pci dependency you mentioned in the
        rh_string code (friendlier to non-PCI HCs)
      - makes code match doc (8859-1 chars, not just ascii)
      - adds sanity checking for the periodic transfer interval,
        and forces it to a power-of-two (code can leave HCDs)
      - facilitates better IRQ sharing

	- removed dependancy on net/irda header files from the driver.

 - changed printer.c to use dynamic urbs, as that is now necessary.

These are the small subset which were obviously correct.
