Take account of whether a socket is bound to a particular device when
selecting an IPv6 raw socket to receive a packet. Also perform this
check when receiving IPv6 packets with router alert options.

As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff.
The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller. I did some basic
testing on my notebook and it seems to work.
The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a
single bit. Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in
sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for
them. Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space.
Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and
alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code
overloads pkt_type :(
The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just
came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe
to remove it.
- remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code
- don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own
compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field. IPVS maintainers can
decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die.
- remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes
- move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes

Having frag_list members which holds wmem of an sk leads to nightmares
with partially cloned frag skb's. The reason is that once you unleash
a skb with a frag_list that has individual sk ownerships into the stack
you can never undo those ownerships safely as they may have been cloned
by things like netfilter. Since we have to undo them in order to make
skb_linearize happy this approach leads to a dead-end.
So let's go the other way and make this an invariant:
For any skb on a frag_list, skb->sk must be NULL.
That is, the socket ownership always belongs to the head skb.
It turns out that the implementation is actually pretty simple.
The above invariant is actually violated in the following patch
for a short duration inside ip_fragment. This is OK because the
offending frag_list member is either destroyed at the end of the
slow path without being sent anywhere, or it is detached from
the frag_list before being sent.

While looking at this problem I noticed that IPv6 was sometimes
looking at inet->recverr which is bogus. Here is a patch to
correct that and use np->recverr.

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!
