1533306186 [NET]: dev_put/dev_hold cleanup
Get rid of the old __dev_put macro that is just a hold over from pre 2.6
kernel.  And turn dev_hold into an inline instead of a macro.

0fbbeb1ba4 [PKT_SCHED]: Fix missing qdisc_destroy() in qdisc_create_dflt()
qdisc_create_dflt() is missing to destroy the newly allocated
default qdisc if the initialization fails resulting in leaks
of all kinds. The only caller in mainline which may trigger
this bug is sch_tbf.c in tbf_create_dflt_qdisc().

Note: qdisc_create_dflt() doesn't fulfill the official locking
      requirements of qdisc_destroy() but since the qdisc could
      never be seen by the outside world this doesn't matter
      and it can stay as-is until the locking of pkt_sched
      is cleaned up.

452f299da3 [PKT_SCHED]: Reduce branch mispredictions in pfifo_fast_dequeue
The current call to __qdisc_dequeue_head leads to a branch
misprediction for every loop iteration, the fact that the
most common priority is 2 makes this even worse.  This issue
has been brought up by Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com>
but unlike his solution which was to manually unroll the loop,
this approach preserves the possibility to increase the number
of bands at compile time.

3d54b82fdf [PKT_SCHED]: Cleanup qdisc creation and alignment macros
Adds qdisc_alloc() to share code between qdisc_create()
and qdisc_create_dflt(). Hides the qdisc alignment behind
macros and makes use of them.

f87a9c3ddf [PKT_SCHED]: Cleanup pfifo_fast qdisc and remove unnecessary code
Removes the skb trimming code which is not needed since we never
touch the skb upon failure. Removes unnecessary initializers,
and simplifies the code a bit.

8cbe1d46d6 [PKT_SCHED]: netetm: trap infinite loop hange on qlen underflow
Due to bugs in netem (fixed by later patches), it is possible to get qdisc
qlen to go negative. If this happens the CPU ends up spinning forever
in qdisc_run(). So add a BUG_ON() to trap it.

cacaddf57e [NET]: Disable queueing when carrier is lost.
Some network drivers call netif_stop_queue() when detecting loss of
carrier. This leads to packets being queued up at the qdisc level for
an unbound period of time. In order to prevent this effect, the core
networking stack will now cease to queue packets for any device, that
is operationally down (i.e. the queue is flushed and disabled).

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
