effee6a000 [NET]: File descriptor loss while receiving SCM_RIGHTS
If more than one file descriptor was sent with an SCM_RIGHTS message,
and on the receiving end, after installing a nonzero (but not all)
file descritpors the process runs out of fds, then the already
installed fds will be lost (userspace will have no way of knowing
about them).

The following patch makes sure, that at least the already installed
fds are sent to userspace.  It doesn't solve the issue of losing file
descriptors in case of an EFAULT on the userspace buffer.

b453257f05 [PATCH] kill gratitious includes of major.h under net/*
A lot of places in there are including major.h for no reason whatsoever.
Removed.  And yes, it still builds. 

The history of that stuff is often amusing.  E.g.  for net/core/sock.c
the story looks so, as far as I've been able to reconstruct it: we used
to need major.h in net/socket.c circa 1.1.early.  In 1.1.13 that need
had disappeared, along with register_chrdev(SOCKET_MAJOR, "socket",
&net_fops) in sock_init().  Include had not.  When 1.2 -> 1.3 reorg of
net/* had moved a lot of stuff from net/socket.c to net/core/sock.c,
this crap had followed...

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!
