bc0a743860 [PATCH] rcu in bpqether driver.
From Suzanne Wood <suzannew@cs.pdx.edu>:

Clarify RCU implementation in bpqether.c.

Because bpq_new_device() calls list_add_rcu() and bpq_free_device() calls
list_del_rcu(), substitute list_for_each_entry_rcu() for
list_for_each_entry() in bpq_get_ax25_dev() and in bpq_seq_start().

Add rcu dereference protection in bpq_seq_next().

The rcu_read_lock()/unlock() in bpq_device_event() are removed because
netdev event handlers are called with RTNL locking in place.

FYI: bpq_free_device() calls list_del_rcu() which, per list.h, requires
synchronize_rcu() which can block or call_rcu() or call_rcu_bh() which
cannot block.  Herbert Xu notes that synchronization is done here by
unregister_netdevice().  This calls synchronize_net() which in turn uses
synchronize_rcu().

6f74998e5c [AX.25]: Rename ax25_encapsulate to ax25_hard_header
Rename ax25_encapsulate to ax25_hard_header which these days more
accurately describes what the function is supposed to do.

f2ccd8fa06 [NET]: Kill skb->real_dev
Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond()
decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original
device into packet_type->func() as an argument.

It remains to be seen whether we can use this same
exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well.

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!
