<title>[DECnet]: Endian annotation and fixes for DECnet.</title>

<id>c4ea94ab3710eb2434abe2eab1a479c2dc01f8ac</id>
<content type='text'>
The typedef for dn_address has been removed in favour of using __le16
or __u16 directly as appropriate. All the DECnet header files are
updated accordingly.

The byte ordering of dn_eth2dn() and dn_dn2eth() are both changed
since just about all their callers wanted network order rather than
host order, so the conversion is now done in the functions themselves.

Several missed endianess conversions have been picked up during the
conversion process. The nh_gw field in struct dn_fib_info has been
changed from a 32 bit field to 16 bits as it ought to be.

One or two cases of using htons rather than dn_htons in the routing
code have been found and fixed.

There are still a few warnings to fix, but this patch deals with the
important cases.

This is the net/ part of the big kfree cleanup patch.

Remove pointless checks for NULL prior to calling kfree() in net/.

<title>[NET]: use __read_mostly on kmem_cache_t , DEFINE_SNMP_STAT pointers</title>

This patch puts mostly read only data in the right section
(read_mostly), to help sharing of these data between CPUS without
memory ping pongs.

On one of my production machine, tcp_statistics was sitting in a
heavily modified cache line, so *every* SNMP update had to force a
reload.

<title>[NETLINK]: Correctly set NLM_F_MULTI without checking the pid</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch rectifies some rtnetlink message builders that derive the
flags from the pid. It is now explicit like the other cases
which get it right. Also fixes half a dozen dumpers which did not
set NLM_F_MULTI at all.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
