Since hardware header operations are part of the protocol class
not the device instance, make them into a separate object and
save memory.

<title>[NET]: Make packet reception network namespace safe</title>

<id>e730c15519d09ea528b4d2f1103681fa5937c0e6</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch modifies every packet receive function
registered with dev_add_pack() to drop packets if they
are not from the initial network namespace.

This should ensure that the various network stacks do
not receive packets in a anything but the initial network
namespace until the code has been converted and is ready
for them.

<title>[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_mac_header()</title>

For the places where we need a pointer to the mac header, it is still legal to
touch skb-&gt;mac.raw directly if just adding to, subtracting from or setting it
to another layer header.

This one also converts some more cases to skb_reset_mac_header() that my
regex missed as it had no spaces before nor after '=', ugh.

<title>[IPV4]: Replace __in_dev_get with __in_dev_get_rcu/rtnl</title>

<id>e5ed639913eea3e4783a550291775ab78dd84966</id>
<content type='text'>
The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.

1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().

There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition.  I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.

This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.
