d62733c8e4 [SCHED]: Qdisc changes and sch_rr added for multiqueue
Add the new sch_rr qdisc for multiqueue network device support.  Allow
sch_prio and sch_rr to be compiled with or without multiqueue hardware
support.

sch_rr is part of sch_prio, and is referenced from MODULE_ALIAS.  This
was done since sch_prio and sch_rr only differ in their dequeue
routine.

c865e5d99e [PKT_SCHED] netem: packet corruption option
Here is a new feature for netem in 2.6.16. It adds the ability to
randomly corrupt packets with netem. A version was done by
Hagen Paul Pfeifer, but I redid it to handle the cases of backwards
compatibility with netlink interface and presence of hardware checksum
offload. It is useful for testing hardware offload in devices.

bdc450a0bb [PKT_SCHED]: (G)RED: Introduce hard dropping
Introduces a new flag TC_RED_HARDDROP which specifies that if ECN
marking is enabled packets should still be dropped once the
average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold.

This _may_ help to avoid global synchronisation during small
bursts of peers advertising but not caring about ECN. Use this
option very carefully, it does more harm than good if
(qth_max - qth_min) does not cover at least two average burst
cycles.

The difference to the current behaviour, in which we'd run into
the hard queue limit, is that due to the low pass filter of RED
short bursts are less likely to cause a global synchronisation.

b38c7eef7e [PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Support ECN marking
Adds a new u8 flags in a unused padding area of the netlink
message. Adds ECN marking support to be used instead of dropping
packets immediately.

0dca51d362 [PKT_SCHED] netem: allow random reordering (with fix)
Here is a fixed up version of the reorder feature of netem.
It is the same as the earlier patch plus with the bugfix from Julio merged in.
Has expected backwards compatibility behaviour.

Go ahead and merge this one, the TCP strangeness I was seeing was due
to the reordering bug, and previous version of TSO patch.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
