The IXP 2000 network driver was failing to build as it has its own
statistics gathering which was not compatible with the recent network
device operations changes. This patch fixes the driver in the obvious
way and has been compile tested. I have been unable to get the ixp2000
maintainer to comment or test this fix.

<title>drivers/net: fixed drivers that support netpoll use ndo_start_xmit()</title>

The NETPOLL API requires that interrupts remain disabled in
netpoll_send_skb(). The use of "A functions set" in the NETPOLL API
callbacks causes the interrupts to get enabled and can lead to kernel
instability.

The solution is to use "B functions set" to prevent the irqs from
getting enabled while in netpoll_send_skb().

A functions set:
local_irq_disable()/local_irq_enable()
spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq()
spin_trylock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq()

B functions set:
local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore()
spin_lock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore()
spin_trylock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore()

<title>net: use NETDEV_TX_OK instead of 0 in ndo_start_xmit() functions</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch is the result of an automatic spatch transformation to convert
all ndo_start_xmit() return values of 0 to NETDEV_TX_OK.

Some occurences are missed by the automatic conversion, those will be
handled in a seperate patch.

Following the removal of the unused struct net_device * parameter from
the NAPI functions named *netif_rx_* in commit 908a7a1, they are
exactly equivalent to the corresponding *napi_* functions and are
therefore redundant.

When the napi api was changed to separate its 1:1 binding to the net_device
struct, the netif_rx_[prep|schedule|complete] api failed to remove the now
vestigual net_device structure parameter.  This patch cleans up that api by
properly removing it..

The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev-&gt;last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

Drivers need not do it any more.

Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers
were making use of the -&gt;last_rx value themselves.
