689be43945 [NET]: Remove gratuitous use of skb->tail in network drivers.
Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.

In these situations, the code roughly looks like:

	dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);

	[optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);

	... skb->tail ...

But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
skb->tail.  So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
other than skb->data in these cases.

Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
the skb->data and skb->tail pointers.  It really just wanted
to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
to do instead.

Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
cleanups I have planned simpler to merge.  In those cleanups,
skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.

d18c3db58b [PATCH] PCI: make drivers use the pci shutdown callback instead of the driver core callback.
Now we can change the pci core to always set this pointer, as pci drivers
should use it, not the driver core callback.

Hi Jeff,

In some messages in via-rhine.c there is a leading space
for no apparent reason. This patch removes it.

1e7f0bd8c8 drivers/net/: Use the DMA_{64,32}BIT_MASK constants
Use the DMA_{64,32}BIT_MASK constants from dma-mapping.h when calling
pci_set_dma_mask() or pci_set_consistent_dma_mask()

This patch includes dma-mapping.h explicitly because it caused errors
on some architectures otherwise.

See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108001993000001&r=1&w=2 for details

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!
