1) There was a simplification in the ipv6 ndisc packet sending
attempted here, which avoided using memory accounting on the
per-netns ndisc socket for sending NDISC packets. It did fix some
important issues, but it causes regressions so it gets reverted
here too. Specifically, the problem with this change is that the
IPV6 output path really depends upon there being a valid skb->sk
attached.

The reason we want to do this change in some form when we figure
out how to do it right, is that if a device goes down the ndisc_sk
socket send queue will fill up and block NDISC packets that we want
to send to other devices too. That's really bad behavior.

Hopefully Thomas can come up with a better version of this change.

2) Fix a severe TCP performance regression by reverting a change made to
dev_pick_tx() quite some time ago. From Eric Dumazet.

3) TIPC returns wrongly signed error codes, fix from Erik Hugne.

4) Fix OOPS when doing IPSEC over ipv4 tunnels due to orphaning the skb->sk
too early. Fix from Li Hongjun.

5) RAW ipv4 sockets can use the wrong routing key during lookup, from
Chris Clark.

6) Similar to #1 revert an older change that tried to use plain alloc_skb()
for SYN/ACK TCP packets, this broke the netfilter owner mark which needs
to see the skb->sk for such frames. From Phil Oester.

7) BNX2x driver bug fixes from Ariel Elior and Yuval Mintz, specifically in
the handling of virtual functions.

8) IPSEC path error propagations to sockets is not done properly when we
have v4 in v6, and v6 in v4 type rules. Fix from Hannes Frederic Sowa.

9) Fix missing channel context release in mac80211, from Johannes Berg.

10) Fix network namespace handing wrt. SCM_RIGHTS, from Andy Lutomirski.

11) Fix usage of bogus NAPI weight in jme, netxen, and ps3_gelic drivers.
From Michal Schmidt.

12) Hopefully a complete and correct fix for the genetlink dump locking
and module reference counting. From Pravin B Shelar.

13) sk_busy_loop() must do a cpu_relax(), from Eliezer Tamir.

14) Fix handling of timestamp offset when restoring a snapshotted TCP socket.
From Andrew Vagin.

Please pull, thanks a lot!
