This patch hopefully finishes the SoftLED code:
- It adds two more LEDs (rx and radio).
(the FW claims it can support up to 16 LEDs,
but I doubt that any vendor put more than 4 on a board)
- update the LEDs in a _delayed_ workqueue.
No one reported any more crashes.

ath5k: reduce exported channel list

This patch adds a modparam so people who want to see all the channels

tg3: Allow screaming interrupt detection
The tg3 driver's ISR is coded to accept interrupts as its own if the
status block tag does not equal the last tag the driver has seen. The
last_tag field is updated from tg3_poll. In a screaming interrupt
situation from another device sharing tg3's IRQ, tg3_poll does not get
a chance to be called, so the last_tag will always be out of sync with
the status block tag. Consequently, the driver will continually
declare the screaming interrupts as its own, thus thwarting the
screaming interrupt detection logic.

tun: Only free a netdev when all tun descriptors are closed
The commit c70f182940f988448f3c12a209d18b1edc276e33 ("tun: Fix
races between tun_net_close and free_netdev") fixed a race where
an asynchronous deletion of a tun device can hose a poll(2) on
a tun fd attached to that device.
However, this came at the cost of moving the tun wait queue into
the tun file data structure. The problem with this is that it
imposes restrictions on when and where the tun device can access
the wait queue since the tun file may change at any time due to
detaching and reattaching.
In particular, now that we need to use the wait queue on the
receive path it becomes difficult to properly synchronise this
with the detachment of the tun device.
This patch solves the original race in a different way. Since
the race is only because the underlying memory gets freed, we
can prevent it simply by ensuring that we don't do that until
all tun descriptors ever attached to the device (even if they
have since be detached because they may still be sitting in poll)
have been closed.
This is done by using reference counting the attached tun file
descriptors. The refcount in tun->sk has been reappropriated
for this purpose since it was already being used for that, albeit
from the opposite angle.
Note that we no longer zero tfile->tun since tun_get will return
NULL anyway after the refcount on tfile hits zero. Instead it
represents whether this device has ever been attached to a device.

loopback: packet drops accounting
We can in some situations drop packets in netif_rx()
loopback driver does not report these (unlikely) drops to its stats,
and incorrectly change packets/bytes counts.
After this patch applied, "ifconfig lo" can reports these drops as in :
# ifconfig lo
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:692562900 errors:3228 dropped:3228 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:692562900 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:2865674174 (2.6 GiB) TX bytes:2865674174 (2.6 GiB)
I initialy chose to reflect those errors only in tx_dropped/tx_errors, but David
convinced me that it was really RX errors, as loopback_xmit() really starts
a RX process. (calling eth_type_trans() for example, that itself pulls the ethernet header)
These errors are accounted in rx_dropped/rx_errors.

tcp: fix mid-wq adjustment helper
Just noticed while doing some new work that the recent
mid-wq adjustment logic will misbehave when FACK is not
in use (happens either due sysctl'ed off or auto-detected
reordering) because I forgot the relevant TCPCB tagbit.

net: sch_netem: Fix an inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.
Alex Sidorenko reported:
"while experimenting with 'netem' we have found some strange behaviour. It
seemed that ingress delay as measured by 'ping' command shows up on some
hosts but not on others.
After some investigation I have found that the problem is that skbuff->tstamp
field value depends on whether there are any packet sniffers enabled. That
is:
- if any ptype_all handler is registered, the tstamp field is as expected
- if there are no ptype_all handlers, the tstamp field does not show the delay"
This patch prevents unnecessary update of tstamp in dev_queue_xmit_nit()
on ingress path (with act_mirred) adding a check, so minimal overhead on
the fast path, but only when sniffers etc. are active.
Since netem at ingress seems to logically emulate a network before a host,
tstamp is zeroed to trigger the update and pretend delays are from the
outside.

cxgb3: fix workqueue flush issues
The fatal error task can be scheduled while processing an offload packet
in NAPI context when the connection handle is bogus. this can race
with the ports being brought down and the cxgb3 workqueue being flushed.
Stop napi processing before flushing the work queue.
The ULP drivers (iSCSI, iWARP) might also schedule a task on keventd_wk
while releasing a connection handle (cxgb3_offload.c::cxgb3_queue_tid_release()).
The driver however does not flush any work on keventd_wq while being unloaded.
This patch also fixes this.
Also call cancel_delayed_work_sync in place of the the deprecated
cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue.

All the intel wired ethernet drivers were calling netif_carrier_off
and netif_stop_queue (or variants) before calling register_netdevice
This is incorrect behavior as was pointed out by davem, and causes
ifconfig and friends to report a strange state before first link
after the driver was loaded.
This apparently confused *some* versions of networkmanager.
Andy tested this for e1000e and confirmed it was working for him.
