Maintaining a modular IPv6 stack offers image size savings for specific
setups, this benefit is outweighed by the architectural burden it
imposes on the subsystems on implementation and maintenance. Therefore,
drop it.

Change CONFIG_IPV6 from tristate to bool. Remove all Kconfig
dependencies across the tree that explicitly checked for IPV6=m. In
addition, remove MODULE_DESCRIPTION(), MODULE_ALIAS(), MODULE_AUTHOR()
and MODULE_LICENSE().

This is also replacing module_init() by device_initcall(). It is not
possible to use fs_initcall() as IPv4 does because that creates a race
condition on IPv6 addrconf.

Finally, modify the default configs from CONFIG_IPV6=m to CONFIG_IPV6=y
except for m68k as according to the bloat-o-meter the image is
increasing by 330KB~ and that isn't acceptable. Instead, disable IPv6 on
this architecture by default. This is aligned with m68k RAM requirements
and recommendations [1].

<title>treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'</title>

<id>a7f7f6248d9740d710fd6bd190293fe5e16410ac</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

The InfiniBand docs are plain text with no markups.  So, all we needed to
do were to add the title markups and some markup sequences in order to
properly parse tables, lists and literal blocks.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the
main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

<title>kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT</title>

<id>6a108a14fa356ef607be308b68337939e56ea94e</id>
<content type='text'>
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

<title>IPoIB: Remove LRO support</title>

<id>19e364f6801e38972673278adedaab1abf6f854c</id>
<content type='text'>
As a first step in moving from LRO to GRO, revert commit af40da894e9
("IPoIB: add LRO support").  Also eliminate the ethtool set_flags
callback which isn't needed anymore.  Finally, we need to include
&lt;linux/sched.h&gt; directly to get the declaration of restart_syscall()
(which used to be included implicitly through &lt;linux/inet_lro.h&gt;).
