mac_header update in ipgre_recv() was incorrectly changed to

In some places, the result of skb_headroom() is compared to an unsigned
integer, and in others, the result is compared to a signed integer.  Make
the comparisons consistent and correct.

<content type='text'>
When GRE tunnel is in NBMA mode, this patch allows an application to use
a PF_PACKET socket to:
- send a packet to specific NBMA address with sendto()
- use recvfrom() to receive packet and check which NBMA address it came from

This is required to implement properly NHRP over GRE tunnel.

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

It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to
remove it.  The number of people that could object because they're
maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.

[ Handled drivers added by netdev tree and some missed IRDA cases... -DaveM ]

<title>[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.</title>

This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &amp;init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

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