27a884dc3c [SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_t
So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)

Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.

da7071d7e3 [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 8
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

1b0fee7d68 [IrDA]: Memory allocations cleanups
This patch replaces the bunch of arbitrary 64 and 128 bytes alloc_skb() calls
with more accurate allocation sizes.

485fb2c998 [IrDA]: Use alloc_skb() in IrDA TX path
As pointed out by Christoph Hellwig, dev_alloc_skb() is not intended to be
used for allocating TX sk_buff. The IrDA stack was exclusively calling
dev_alloc_skb() on the TX path, and this patch fixes that.

1bc1731133 [IrDA]: Fix RCU lock pairing on error path
irlan_client_discovery_indication calls rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock, but
returns without unlocking in an error case.  Fix that by replacing the return
with a goto so that the rcu_read_unlock always gets executed.

e5ed639913 [IPV4]: Replace __in_dev_get with __in_dev_get_rcu/rtnl
The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.

1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().

There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition.  I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.

This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.

Every file should #include the header files containing the prototypes
of it's global functions.

In this case this showed that the prototype of irlan_print_filter()
was wrong which is also corrected in this 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!
