[PARPORT] SUNBPP: Fix OOPS when debugging is enabled.
[SPARC] openprom: Switch to ref counting PCI API
The packet driver is assuming (reasonably) that the (undocumented)
request.errors is an errno. But it is in fact some mysterious bitfield. When
things go wrong we return weird positive numbers to the VFS as pointers and it
goes oops.
Thanks to William Heimbigner for reporting and diagnosis.
(It doesn't oops, but this driver still doesn't work for William)

Broken by 4a1728a28a which switched the
return semantics of read_mii_word() but didn't fix usage of
read_mii_word() to conform to the new semantics.
Setting carrier to off based on the NO_CARRIER flag is also incorrect as
that flag only triggers on TX failure and therefore isn't correct when
no frames are being transmitted. Since there is already a 2*HZ MII
carrier check going on, defer to that.
Add a TRUST_LINK_STATUS feature flag for adapters where the LINK_STATUS
flag is actually correct, and use that rather than the NO_CARRIER flag.

The sis900 driver appears to have a bug in which the receive routine
passes the skbuff holding the received frame to the network stack before
refilling the buffer in the rx ring. If a new skbuff cannot be allocated, the
driver simply leaves a hole in the rx ring, which causes the driver to stop
receiving frames and become non-recoverable without an rmmod/insmod according to
reporters. This patch reverses that order, attempting to allocate a replacement
buffer first, and receiving the new frame only if one can be allocated. If no
skbuff can be allocated, the current skbuf in the rx ring is recycled, dropping
the current frame, but keeping the NIC operational.

The following patch fixes a kernel bug in depca_platform_probe().
We don't use a dynamic pointer for pldev->dev.platform_data, so it seems
that the correct way to proceed if platform_device_add(pldev) fails is
to explicitly set the pldev->dev.platform_data pointer to NULL, before
calling the platform_device_put(pldev), or it will be kfree'ed by
platform_device_release().

Fix the possible NULL pointer access in check_modem_status() in 8250.c. The
check_modem_status() would access 'info' member of uart_port structure, but it
is not initialized before uart_open() is called. The check_modem_status() can
be called through /proc/tty/driver/serial before uart_open() is called.

This reverts commit 60cba200f1. It's been
linked to lockups of the e1000 hardware, see for example
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229603
but it's likely that the commit itself is not really introducing the
bug, but just allowing an unrelated problem to rear its ugly head (ie
one current working theory is that the code exposes us to a hardware
race condition by decreasing the amount of time we spend in each NAPI
poll cycle).
We'll revert it until root cause is known. Intel has a repeatable
reproduction on two different machines and bus traces of the hardware
doing something bad.

Subject: kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c in linux-2.6.21-rc6
process_input_packet() treats the case where the first byte is 0xff
(PPP_ALLSTATIONS) but the second byte is 0x03 (PPP_UI) as indicating a
packet with a PPP protocol number of 0xff. Arguably that's wrong
since PPP protocol 0xff is reserved, and the RFC does envision the
possibility of receiving frames where the control field has values
other than 0x03.

The Yukon EC Ultra chips have transmit settings for store and
forward and PCI buffering. By setting these appropriately, normal
performance goes from 750Mbytes/sec to 940Mbytes/sec (non-jumbo).
It is also possible to do Jumbo mode, but it means turning off
TSO and checksum offload so the performance gets worse. There isn't
enough buffering for checksum offload to work.
