  • This patch kills include/linux/eeprom.h .

    Rationale:
    - it was only used by one single driver
    - even this driver didn't do anything useful with it
    - most of this file are non-inline and non-static functions (sic)

    This removes include/linux/eeprom.h and cleans drivers/net/ns83820.c up.

    If you think eeprom.h should be used more extensively, please consider:
    - the code has to be moved from the header file to a .c file
    - the currently empty write function has to be implemented
    - ns83820.c or any other driver should actually use it

    Noone did any of these during the more than 3 years eeprom.h already
    exists...

  • - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

    - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
    the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
    generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
    typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

  • Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.

    In these situations, the code roughly looks like:

    dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);

    [optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);

    ... skb->tail ...

    But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
    skb->tail. So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
    other than skb->data in these cases.

    Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
    the skb->data and skb->tail pointers. It really just wanted
    to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
    to do instead.

    Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
    cleanups I have planned simpler to merge. In those cleanups,
    skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
    replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.

  • Use the DMA_{64,32}BIT_MASK constants from dma-mapping.h when calling
    pci_set_dma_mask() or pci_set_consistent_dma_mask()

    This patch includes dma-mapping.h explicitly because it caused errors
    on some architectures otherwise.

  • 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!
