This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local"
implementations in several places to use this function.

Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems.  The sound part
had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S.
Miller.

I left UML alone for now because I would need more time to read the code
carefully before making changes there.

This patch introduces a netpoll_info structure, which the struct net_device
will now point to instead of pointing to a struct netpoll.  The reason for
this is two-fold: 1) fields such as the rx_flags, poll_owner, and poll_lock
should be maintained per net_device, not per netpoll;  and 2) this is a first
step in providing support for multiple netpoll clients to register against the
same net_device.

The struct netpoll is now pointed to by the netpoll_info structure.  As
such, the previous behaviour of the code is preserved.

When the hardware header size is a multiple of HH_DATA_MOD, HH_DATA_OFF()
incorrectly returns HH_DATA_MOD (instead of 0). This affects ieee80211 layer
as 802.11 header is 32 bytes long.

The features field in netdevice is really a bitmask, and bitmask's should
be unsigned.

Everybody does

	struct packet_type foo_packet_type = {
		.type = __constant_htons(ETH_P_FOO);
	};

5 introduced warnings will be properly fixed later.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
