5ea79631c0 b44: Truncate PHY address
Some ROMs on embedded devices store incorrect values for
the PHY address of the ethernet device.
It looks like the number is sign-extended.
Truncate the value by applying the PHY-address mask to it.
The patch was tested on a bcm47xx embedded system (where the bug
triggers) and a bcm4400 PCI card.

6ef2977d41 skge napi->poll() locking bug
According to: Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt:

<cite>
napi->poll:
..........
	Context: softirq
	         will be called with interrupts disabled by netconsole.
</cite>

napi->poll() could be called either with interrupts enabled
(in softirq context) or disabled (by netconsole), so the irq flag
should be preserved.

Inspired by Ingo's resent forcedeth patch :-)

9f5e60dd5f rndis_host: fix oops when query for OID_GEN_PHYSICAL_MEDIUM fails
When query for OID_GEN_PHYSICAL_MEDIUM fails, uninitialized pointer
'phym' is being accessed in generic_rndis_bind(), resulting OOPS.
Patch fixes phym to be initialized and setup correctly when
rndis_query() for physical medium fails.

b1186dee3e cxgb3: Fix lockdep problems with sge.reg_lock
Using iWARP with a Chelsio T3 NIC generates the following lockdep warning:

    =================================
    [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]
    2.6.25-rc6 #50
    ---------------------------------
    inconsistent {softirq-on-W} -> {in-softirq-W} usage.
    swapper/0 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE0:SE0] takes:
     (&adap->sge.reg_lock){-+..}, at: [<ffffffff880e5ee2>] cxgb_offload_ctl+0x3af/0x507 [cxgb3]

The problem is that reg_lock is used with plain spin_lock() in
drivers/net/cxgb3/sge.c but is used with spin_lock_irqsave() in
drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3_offload.c.  This is technically a false
positive, since the uses in sge.c are only in the initialization and
cleanup paths and cannot overlap with any use in interrupt context.

The best fix is probably just to use spin_lock_irq() with reg_lock in
sge.c.  Even though it's not strictly required for correctness, it
avoids triggering lockdep and the extra overhead of disabling
interrupts is not important at all in the initialization and cleanup
slow paths.

be937f1f89 Marvell PHY m88e1111 driver fix
Marvell PHY m88e1111 (not sure about other models, but think they too)
works in two modes: fiber and copper. In Marvell PHY driver (that we
have in current community kernels) code supported only copper mode,
and this is not configurable, bits for copper mode are simply written
in registers during PHY initialization.

This patch adds support for both modes.

ba53e6b487 netxen: remove low level tx lock
o eliminate tx lock in netxen adapter struct, instead pound on netdev
  tx lock appropriately.
o remove old "concurrent transmit" code that unnecessarily drops and
  reacquires tx lock in hard_xmit_frame(), this is already serialized
  the netdev xmit lock.
o reduce scope of tx lock in tx cleanup. tx cleanup operates on
  different section of the ring than transmitting cpus and is
  guarded by producer and consumer indices. This fixes a race
  caused by rx softirq preemption on realtime kernels.

05aaa02d79 netxen: napi and irq cleanup
o separate and simpler irq handler for msi interrupts, avoids few checks
  than legacy mode.
o avoid redudant tx_has_work() and rx_has_work() checks in interrupt
  and napi, which can uncork irq based on racy (lockless) access to tx
  and rx ring indices. If we get interrupt, there's sufficient reason to
  schedule napi.
o replenish rx ring more often, remove self-imposed threshold rcv_free
  that prevents posting rx desc to card. This improves performance in
  low memory.

c83dbf687f iwlwifi: fix __devexit_p points to __devexit functions
The iwlxxxx_pci_remove functions are not needed when drivers are not
compiled as modules - they can thus be discarded at kernel link time.
This is already captured by having them as __devexit_p in the pci_driver
struct - these are supposed to be pointers to __devexit functions, but was not.
This is now fixed.

This problem was reported by Toralf Forster when testing the compilation of
2.6.25-rc6.

If we loop more than once in gem_poll(), we'll

ifb; yet there are possible situations, when this order could be
dangerous; lockdep should warn in such a case.) (With suggestions by

725e49c5da [IOC3] Fix section missmatch
LD      drivers/net/built-in.o
WARNING: drivers/net/built-in.o(.text+0x3468): Section mismatch in reference fro
m the function ioc3_probe() to the function .devinit.text:ioc3_serial_probe()
The function ioc3_probe() references
the function __devinit ioc3_serial_probe().
This is often because ioc3_probe lacks a __devinit
annotation or the annotation of ioc3_serial_probe is wrong.

69cac988f2 2.6.25-rc4 de_stop_rxtx polling wrong
This untested patch _should_ fix:
	"(net de2104x) Kernel panic with de2104x tulip driver on boot"
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3156

But the bug submitter isn't responding.  Same fix has been applied
to tulip.c (several years ago) and uli526x.c (Feb 2008) drivers.

[ The panic reported in the bug report was removed in a recently
  (march 2008) accepted patch from Ondrej Zary. ]

3b446c3e15 forcedeth: limit tx to 16
This is a critical patch which adds a workaround for a HW bug. The patch
will limit the number of outstanding tx packets to 16. Otherwise, the HW
could send out packets with bad checksums.

The driver will still setup the tx packets into the ring, however, will
only set the Valid bit on 16 packets at a time.
