Add support for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks. This implementation
is neither certified nor complete, but aims to that goal. This commit contains
only the socket interface for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks.
One can either send RAW datagrams or use SOCK_DGRAM to encapsulate data
inside normal IEEE 802.15.4 packets.

Configuration interface, drivers and software MAC 802.15.4 implementation will
follow.

Initial implementation was done by Maxim Gorbachyov, Maxim Osipov and Pavel
Smolensky as a research project at Siemens AG. Later the stack was heavily
reworked to better suit the linux networking model, and is now maitained
as an open project partially sponsored by Siemens.

Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to 6 to increase schedulers time
resolution. This will increase 16x a number of (internal) ticks per
nanosecond, and is needed to improve accuracy of schedulers based on
rate tables, like HTB, TBF or CBQ, with rates above 100Mbit. It is
assumed this change is safe for 32bit accounting of time diffs up
to 2 minutes, which should be enough for common use (extremely low
rate values may overflow, so get inaccurate instead). To make full
use of this change an updated iproute2 will be needed. (But using
older iproute2 should be safe too.)

This change breaks ticks - microseconds similarity, so some minor code
fixes might be needed. It is also planned to change naming adequately
eg. to PSCHED_TICKS2NS() etc. in the near future.

Use PSCHED_SHIFT constant instead of '10' in PSCHED_US2NS() and

(net: introduce a list of device addresses dev_addr_list (v6))
added one regression Vegard Nossum found in its testings.

With kmemcheck help, Vegard found some uninitialized memory
was read and reported to user, potentialy leaking kernel data.
( thread can be found on http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/30/177 )

dev_addr_init() incorrectly uses sizeof() operator. We were
initializing one byte instead of MAX_ADDR_LEN bytes.

This driver does not indicate support for frag lists.

Furthermore, even if it did, the code is walking the frag
lists incorrectly.  The idiom is:

	for (iter = skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list; iter; iter = iter->next)

but it's doing:

	for (iter = skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list; iter;
	     iter = skb_shinfo(iter)->frag_list)

which would never work.  And this proves that this driver never
saw an SKB with active frag lists.

So just remove the code altogether and the driver TX path becomes
much simpler.

A driver overhaul on 29 Feb 2000 (!) broke locking around fiddling with 
the tx descriptor ring in start_xmit(); a follow-on "fix" removed the 
broken remnants altogether.  Here's a patch to restore proper locking in 
the function -- the complement in the interrupt handler has been correct 
all the time.

 This *may* have been the reason for the occasional confusion of the chip 
-- triggering a tx timeout followed by a chip reset sequence -- seen on 
R4k-based DECstations with the onboard Ethernet interface.  Another theory 
is the confusion is due to an unindentified problem -- perhaps a silicon 
erratum -- associated with the variation of the MT ASIC used to interface 
the R4k CPU to the rest of the system on these computers; with its 
aggressive write-back buffering the design is particularly weakly ordered 
when it comes to MMIO (in the absence of ordering barriers uncached reads 
are allowed to bypass earlier uncached writes, even if to the same 
location), which may trigger all kinds of corner cases in peripheral 
hardware as well as software.

Either way this piece of code is buggy.

It is possible for tun_chr_close to race with dellink on the
a tun device.  In which case if __tun_get runs before dellink
but dellink runs before tun_chr_close calls unregister_netdevice
we will attempt to unregister the netdevice after it is already
gone.  

The two cases are already serialized on the rtnl_lock, so I have
gone for the cheap simple fix of moving rtnl_lock to cover __tun_get
in tun_chr_close.  Eliminating the possibility of the tun device
being unregistered between __tun_get and unregister_netdevice in
tun_chr_close.

skb_dma_unmap() is quite expensive for small packets,
because we use two different cache lines from skb_shared_info.

One to access nr_frags, one to access dma_maps[0]

Instead of dma_maps being an array of MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 elements,
let dma_head alone in a new dma_head field, close to nr_frags,
to reduce cache lines misses.

With this applied we can strengthen the partial checksum check:

In skb_partial_csum_set we check to see if the checksum offset
is within the packet.  However, we really should check that it
is within the skb head as that's the only bit we can modify
without copying.
