RDS code assumes that the struct ib_device dma_device member, which is a
pointer, points to a struct device embedded in a struct pci_dev.

This is not the case for ehca, for example, which is a OF driver, and
makes dma_device point to a struct device embedded in a struct
platform_device.

This will make the system crash when rds_rdma is loaded in a system
with ehca, since it will try to access the bus member of a non-existent
struct pci_dev.

The only reason rds_rdma uses the struct pci_dev is to get the NUMA node
the device is attached to. Using dev_to_node for that is much better,
since it won't assume which bus the infiniband is attached to.

Name them in a "backward compatible" manner, i.e. reuse or not
are still 1 and 0 respectively. The reuse value of 2 means that
the socket with it will forcibly reuse everyone else's port.

This results in code with less boiler plate that is a bit easier
to read.

Additionally stops us from using compatibility code in the sysctl
core, hastening the day when the compatibility code can be removed.

<title>net: Move all of the network sysctls without a namespace into init_net.</title>

This makes it clearer which sysctls are relative to your current network
namespace.

This makes it a little less error prone by not exposing sysctls for the
initial network namespace in other namespaces.

This is the same way we handle all of our other network interfaces to
userspace and I can't honestly remember why we didn't do this for
sysctls right from the start.

<title>RDS: use gfp flags from caller in conn_alloc()</title>

We should be using the gfp flags the caller specified here, instead of
GFP_KERNEL.  I think this might be a bugfix, depending on the value of
"sock-&gt;sk-&gt;sk_allocation" when we call rds_conn_create_outgoing() in
rds_sendmsg().  Otherwise, it's just a cleanup.

Pull kmap_atomic cleanup from Cong Wang.

It's been in -next for a long time, and it gets rid of the (no longer
used) second argument to k[un]map_atomic().

Fix up a few trivial conflicts in various drivers, and do an "evil
merge" to catch some new uses that have come in since Cong's tree.
