Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) The value choosen for the new SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option on
    parisc was very poorly choosen, let's fix it while we still can.
    From Eric Dumazet.

 2) Our generic reciprocal divide was found to handle some edge cases
    incorrectly, part of this is encoded into the BPF as deep as the JIT
    engines themselves.  Just use a real divide throughout for now.
    From Eric Dumazet.

 3) Because the initial lookup is lockless, the TCP metrics engine can
    end up creating two entries for the same lookup key.  Fix this by
    doing a second lookup under the lock before we actually create the
    new entry.  From Christoph Paasch.

 4) Fix scatter-gather list init in usbnet driver, from Bjørn Mork.

 5) Fix unintended 32-bit truncation in cxgb4 driver's bit shifting.
    From Dan Carpenter.

 6) Netlink socket dumping uses the wrong socket state for timewait
    sockets.  Fix from Neal Cardwell.

 7) Fix netlink memory leak in ieee802154_add_iface(), from Christian
    Engelmayer.

 8) Multicast forwarding in ipv4 can overflow the per-rule reference
    counts, causing all multicast traffic to cease.  Fix from Hannes
    Frederic Sowa.

 9) via-rhine needs to stop all TX queues when it resets the device,
    from Richard Weinberger.

10) Fix RDS per-cpu accesses broken by the this_cpu_* conversions.  From
    Gerald Schaefer.

At first Jakub Zawadzki noticed that some divisions by reciprocal_divide
were not correct. (off by one in some cases)
http://www.wireshark.org/~darkjames/reciprocal-buggy.c

He could also show this with BPF:
http://www.wireshark.org/~darkjames/set-and-dump-filter-k-bug.c

The reciprocal divide in linux kernel is not generic enough,
lets remove its use in BPF, as it is not worth the pain with
current cpus.

On PA-Semi firmware, the instance-to-package callback doesn't seem
to be implemented. We didn't check for error, however, thus
subsequently passed the -1 value returned into stdout_node to
thins like prom_getprop etc...

Thus caused the firmware to load values around 0 (physical) internally
as node structures. It somewhat "worked" as long as we had a NULL in the
right place (address 8) at the beginning of the kernel, we didn't "see"
the bug. But commit 5c0484e25ec03243d4c2f2d4416d4a13efc77f6a
"powerpc: Endian safe trampoline" changed the kernel entry point causing
that old bug to now cause a crash early during boot.

This fixes booting on PA-Semi board by properly checking the return
value from instance-to-package.

Commit 5c0484e25ec0 ('powerpc: Endian safe trampoline') resulted in
losing proper alignment of the spinlock variables used when booting
secondary CPUs, causing some quite odd issues with failing to boot on
PA Semi-based systems.

This showed itself on ppc64_defconfig, but not on pasemi_defconfig,
so it had gone unnoticed when I initially tested the LE patch set.

Fix is to add explicit alignment instead of relying on good luck. :)

[ It appears that there is a different issue with PA Semi systems
  however this fix is definitely correct so applying anyway -- BenH
]

p_end is an 8 byte value embedded in the text section. This means it
is only 4 byte aligned when it should be 8 byte aligned. Fix this
by adding an explicit alignment.

This fixes an issue where POWER7 little endian builds with
