<title>[NET]: move config options out to individual protocols</title>

Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols.
With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a
good basis for further re-structuring.

The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is
fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several
"depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair.

Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are
small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed
out where they belongs.

An addition to the last ipvs changes that move
update_defense_level/si_meminfo to keventd:

- ip_vs_random_dropentry now runs in process context and should use _bh
  locks to protect from softirqs

- update_defense_level still needs _bh locks after si_meminfo is called,
  for the same purpose

<title>[IPVS]: Close race conditions on ip_vs_conn_tab list modification</title>

In an smp system, it is possible for an connection timer to expire, calling
ip_vs_conn_expire while the connection table is being flushed, before
ct_write_lock_bh is acquired.

Since the list iterator loop in ip_vs_con_flush releases and re-acquires the
spinlock (even though it doesn't re-enable softirqs), it is possible for the
expiration function to modify the connection list, while it is being traversed
in ip_vs_conn_flush.

The result is that the next pointer gets set to NULL, and subsequently
dereferenced, resulting in an oops.

<title>[IPVS]: Fix for overflows</title>

From: &lt;pageexec@freemail.hu&gt;

$subject was fixed in 2.4 already, 2.6 needs it as well.

The impact of the bugs is a kernel stack overflow and privilege escalation
from CAP_NET_ADMIN via the IP_VS_SO_SET_STARTDAEMON/IP_VS_SO_GET_DAEMON
ioctls.  People running with 'root=all caps' (i.e., most users) are not
really affected (there's nothing to escalate), but SELinux and similar
users should take it seriously if they grant CAP_NET_ADMIN to other users.

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!
