* remove interrupt.g inclusion from netdevice.h -- not needed
* fixup fallout, add interrupt.h and hardirq.h back where needed.

In a couple of cases collapse some extra code like:
int retval = NETDEV_TX_OK;
...
return retval;
into
return NETDEV_TX_OK;

Use pre-existing network_device_stats inside network_device rather than own
private structure.

The functions time_before, time_before_eq, time_after, and time_after_eq are
more robust for comparing jiffies against other values.
So use the time_after() macro, defined in linux/jiffies.h, which deals with
wrapping correctly.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
- make needlessly global code static
- arcnet.c: remove the unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL(arc_proto_null)
- arcnet.c: remove the unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL(arcnet_dump_packet)
To make Jeff happy, arcnet.c still prints
arcnet: v3.93 BETA 2000/04/29 - by Avery Pennarun et al.

It's only used in arcnet.c, and following the model of the other
link layers it doesn't make sense to use it outside alloc_arcdev()
either.

As previously reported the ArcNet driver didn't work with Preempt and SMB
on. They do now. I have changed the locking system from being a global
arcnet lock to being a lock per device. I used the lock in
dev->hard_start_xmit = arcnet_send_packet.
Furthermore I added the 'CAP mode' encapsulation. As far as I see it it is
the only encapsulation which actually makes ArcNet usefull over ethernet.
Previously, the driver just ignored the hardware transmit status, now you
can get hardware acknowledge and excessive nacks back to userspace via a
raw socket. The capmode.c is nearly just a copy of arc-rawmode.c. The
difference is that it inserts a ack_tx() handle into the general driver
framework.

Forward-port of a fix Alan merged into 2.4.21-pre. It fixes arcnet oopses
with raw sockets.
