Finally got around to adding ethtool_ops to e100-3.0.x.  I found a bug
with get_eeprom() and it seems to work best if we add get_eeprom_len() to
the ops list.  Also moved check for offest + len < size into ethtool.c.

I was able to test [GS]EEPROM, PHYS_ID, GSTATS, GSTRINGS, and TEST, and
everything looks good.

Should I send same for 2.4?

pcnet_cs registers the network device too early.  The effect of this
is that the networking hotplug scripts are unable to bring the device
up automatically.

There are two issues:
- we were registering the net device before we finished setting up
  the device (eg, reading the MAC address.)
- we were using DEV_CONFIG_PENDING to block the net device "open"
  callback, and as we know the other methods may be called prior
  to open.

My only concern with this patch is that we set info->node.dev_name
after we register the net device, so use of cardctl during the
hotplug scripts may give unexpected results.  However, I am not
aware of anyone using cardctl to read the device name in network
hotplug scripts.

Please review and merge.  Thanks.

My earlier change broke the if_ptr assumption used by SPPP drivers.
This makes sealevel driver do if_ptr like it used to.

In 2.6.0-test6, I put in a patch which fixed sealevel driver, but broke
all the other wan devices because it got rid of one level of indirection.

This puts back the indirection, and hopefully prevents others from
misreading it the same way. The SPPP drivers expect that
netdev->priv points to device local structure whose first element
is a pointer to the ppp device. 

Patch from Horms <horms@vergenet.net>

Since both the primay and the backup sync daemon can be started in a box
at a time, we must just check if the MASTER bit is set in the sync state.

This fixes the stack end detection properly, and verifies that the
stack content printing does not overflow into the next page even
partially.

This is required especially for x86 BIOSes that misalign the stack,
together with the page access debugging that unmaps unused kernel
pages to check for valid accesses.

Architectures with special needs (eg HPPA with stacks that grow up)
can override the kernel stack end test with __HAVE_ARCH_KSTACK_END
if they ever enable the anal slab debugging code.

This is the minimal change to make "mlockall()" not complain about
the occasional PROT_NONE area.

PROT_NONE is commonly used on x86-64, and is no reason to not lock
in the rest of the mappings into memory.

Sun-3: Add missing include (needed because of __attribute_used__ in
<linux/init.h>)

M68k: Export missing symbol csum_partial

 - add disallow_signal() to complement allow_signal(), rather than
   having different subsystems try to do it by hand.

 - add a version of dequeue_signal() which does the necessary locking on
   its own, again to avoid having modules have to care.

 - let allow_signal() to actually allow signals other than
   SIGKILL. Currently they get either converted to SIGKILL or
   silently dropped, according to whether your kernel thread
   happens to have sa_handler set for the signal in question.

   (Barf alert: we do this by just installing a dummy handler)

 - make jffs2 use the cleaned up infrastructure

From Pavel Machek. Make software suspend compile again on x86-64

It can have gotten set by a stray interrupt if there were
no handlers while the IRQ was disabled, and we shouldn't
confuse other parts (ie this is another safety-net for the
issues that Al Viro brought up about disable_irq() deadlocks
when no handlers exist).

This fixes a bug which was introduced when the code was switched to use
atomic_read()s.

The bug prevents hot-unplugging of SCSI (or emulated SCSI) devices from
working. 

From Patrick Mansfield.

They can happen on x86 as a result of interrupts in BIOS calls.
