a53c8fab3f s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names
Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.

Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

e0a8114c03 qeth: meaningful return code for set_mac_address
Setting an invalid mac-address for a qeth layer2 device returns
with a strange error code:
# ip link set hsi1 address 00:00:00:00:00:01
   RTNETLINK answers: Unknown error 18446744073709486085
Problem is caused by wrong usage of the return_code field within
structure qeth_ipa_cmd.
With this patch the ip command above returns
   SIOCSIFHWADDR: Invalid argument

0666eb06ab qeth: support z/VM VSWITCH Port Isolation
z/VM Virtual Switch Port Isolation allows guests on a VLAN UNAWARE
virtual switch to be isolated from other guests on the VSWITCH.
(See z/VM Apars VM64281 and VM64463).
The Linux qeth driver is affected, because it has to handle new
error codes introduced with the z/VM VSWITCH Port Isolation support.

2d921c321c qeth: improve ip_list administration after deregister failures
1. ip_list handling after deregister failure of multicast address:
   If error code "MC Address not found" is returned do not re-add
   multicast address to ip_list.
   For other error codes readd multicast address at the end of
   function qeth_delete_all_mc.
2. ip_list handling after deregister failure or normal ip address:
   If error code "IP Address not found" is returned do not re-add
   multicast address to ip list.
   This is especially important in IP address takeover scenarios,
   to enable re-takeover of a taken over IP address.
