022b660ae5 ccwgroup: Unify parsing for group attribute.
Instead of having each driver for ccwgroup slave device parsing the
input itself and calling ccwgroup_create(), introduce a new function
ccwgroup_create_from_string() and handle parsing inside the ccwgroup
core.

b403e685b7 qeth: core code should alloc headroom for LLC protocol
Allocate headroom for TR_HLEN but using only ETH_HLEN causes rx
performance degradation. Allocate ETH_HLEN for ethernet and
TR_HLEN for token ring (layer 3 mode).

922dc0624e qeth: set lan_online flag after a received STARTLAN
Problem:     A STARTLAN command from the adapter may arrive while a
             qeth recovery is currently running with a failed qeth
             STARTLAN. Usually qeth schedules a recovery when
             receiving a STARTLAN command from the adapter. But
             another recovery scheduled while a recovery is already
             running never starts. Thus the qeth-administered
             lan_online flag remains zero in this scenario, even
             though the adapter-STARTLAN has happened.
Solution:    Set lan_online flag for a received STARTLAN from the
             adapter in case scheduled recovery does not start.

508b3c4f71 qeth: allow qdio queue element addresses > 2GB
OSA-adapters do not have an address limitation for the qdio queue
structures except the MAX storage level of the current processor.
And due to a recent z/VM APAR there is no longer a restriction to
allocate qdio structures below 2 GB.
