this patch adds a dormant flag to network devices, RFC2863 operstate derived
from these flags and possibility for userspace interaction. It allows drivers
to signal that a device is unusable for user traffic without disabling
queueing (and therefore the possibility for protocol establishment traffic to
flow) and a userspace supplicant (WPA, 802.1X) to mark a device unusable
without changes to the driver.
It is the result of our long discussion. However I must admit that it
represents what Jamal and I agreed on with compromises towards Krzysztof, but
Thomas and Krzysztof still disagree with some parts. Anyway I think it should
be applied.

Originally submitted by Kenzo Iwami; his original description is:
The current bonding driver receives duplicate packets when broadcast/
multicast packets are sent by other devices or packets are flooded by the
switch. In this patch, new flags are added in priv_flags of net_device
structure to let the bonding driver discard duplicate packets in
dev.c:skb_bond().
Modified by Jay Vosburgh to change a define name, update some
comments, rearrange the new skb_bond() for clarity, clear all bonding
priv_flags on slave release, and update the driver version.

1) Provides support for new FarSync cards T1U, T2U, T4U and TE1
2) Provides support for an E1 interface
3) Provides support for a variant of X.21 that allows transmit and
receive clocks
4) Provide a raw socket interface directly to the data from the line.
5) Improves performance with less time in interrupts and more in BH's

Second try at the bridge driver module handling cleanup...
1) Eliminate keeping a seperate bridge_list and use a bit on
the priv_flags structure. This is equivalent to how the VLAN
code works. Makes code cleaner and correctly handles cases like
creating a bridge with the same name as an existing ether device etc.
2) Don't do own module ref counting that is inhernently racy.
Instead set owner field and cleanup debris on unload.
3) Do last state cleanup in destructor
4) Change of bridge state (dev_open/stop) should use write_lock
5) Make sure timer is not running when cleared.
6) Use "const char *" where possible

This version fixes:
- missing rtnl_lock()/rtnl_unload() bug on unregister_hdlc_device
- N2, C101: interrupt handler now works under high IRQ load from other
devices (with previous versions, the IRQ processing for the card could
sometimes stop after reaching "work limit")
This is production-tested on devices I have access to (N2, C101, PC300,
PCI200SYN).

New file and directory include/linux/hdlc/ioctl.h, containing
only WAN ioctl-related definitions.
Update include/linux/if.h to reference these structures, providing
us with complete type safety, including through ioctls.

Add new HDLC interface, split up huge hdlc.c driver into
multiple files based on hardware type. Convert WAN drivers
to new interface.

- me: remember to bump the version number ;)
- Hugh Dickins: export "free_lru_page()" for modules
- Jeff Garzik: don't change nopage arguments, just make the last a dummy one
- David Miller: sparc and net updates (netfilter, VLAN etc)
- Nikita Danilov: reiserfs cleanups
- Jan Kara: quota initialization race
- Tigran Aivazian: make the x86 microcode update driver happy about
hyperthreaded P4's
- me: shrink dcache/icache more aggressively
- me: fix up oom-killer so that it actually works
