  • We are going to delete the Token ring support. This removes any
    special processing in the core networking for token ring, (aside
    from net/tr.c itself), leaving the drivers and remaining tokenring
    support present but inert.

    The mass removal of the drivers and net/tr.c will be in a separate
    commit, so that the history of these files that we still care
    about won't have the giant deletion tied into their history.

  • With some combinations of arch/compiler (e.g. arm-linux-gcc) the sizeof
    operator on structure returns value greater than expected. In cases when the
    structure is used for mapping PDU fields it may lead to unexpected results
    (such as holes and alignment problems in skb data). __packed prevents this
    undesired behavior.

  • Allocate the skb for llc responses with the received packet size by
    using the size adjustable llc_frame_alloc.
    Don't allocate useless extra payload.
    Cleanup magic numbers.

    So, this fixes oops.

  • 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!
