NOTE: By popular demand, I now am making diffs against vanilla 2.1.55

1) Fix bugs in ipv6 checksums on Alpha (Richard).

2) Usual set of PPC updates/fixes (Cort, Paul Mackerras).

3) MIPS port merge (Ralf).

4) Implement mm_segment_t type for use in {set,get}_fs() calls
(Richard).

5) Fix all sorts of bugs in error case handling in TCP code (me).

As you can tell, we're beginning to work on solidifying the networking
for the eventual 2.2.0, so expect more changes in that area over the
next week before I run off to my talk in Germany.

patch-2.1.55-VGER-CVS970917-CVS970918.gz patch against yesterday
patch-2.1.55-VGER-vanilla-CVS970918.gz patch against stock 2.1.55

Here is the top of my merge list which I should get to before now and
Saturday evening sometime:

1) Moderate sized set of changes from Jes to make FDDI work again.
2) mac_ops changes from Werner, this one is a bit large.

Later,
