As analyzed by Patrick McHardy, vlan needs to reset it's
netdev_ops pointer in it's ->init() function but this
leaves the compat method pointers stale.
Add a netdev_resync_ops() and call it from the vlan code.
Any other driver which changes ->netdev_ops after register_netdevice()
will need to call this new function after doing so too.
With help from Patrick McHardy.

Currently it is possible to do just about everything with the arp table
from user space except treat an entry like you are using it. To that end
implement and a flag NTF_USE that when set in a netwlink update request
treats the neighbour table entry like the kernel does on the output path.
This allows user space applications to share the kernel's arp cache.

The current "comp" crypto interface supports one-shot (de)compression only,
i.e. the whole data buffer to be (de)compressed must be passed at once, and
the whole (de)compressed data buffer will be received at once.
In several use-cases (e.g. compressed file systems that store files in big
compressed blocks), this workflow is not suitable.
Furthermore, the "comp" type doesn't provide for the configuration of
(de)compression parameters, and always allocates workspace memory for both
compression and decompression, which may waste memory.
To solve this, add a "pcomp" partial (de)compression interface that provides
the following operations:
- crypto_compress_{init,update,final}() for compression,
- crypto_decompress_{init,update,final}() for decompression,
- crypto_{,de}compress_setup(), to configure (de)compression parameters
(incl. allocating workspace memory).
The (de)compression methods take a struct comp_request, which was mimicked
after the z_stream object in zlib, and contains buffer pointer and length
pairs for input and output.
The setup methods take an opaque parameter pointer and length pair. Parameters
are supposed to be encoded using netlink attributes, whose meanings depend on
the actual (name of the) (de)compression algorithm.

Allow the device to give the driver RX data with reorder information.
When that is done, the device will indicate the driver if a packet has
to be held in a (sorted) queue. It will also tell the driver when held
packets have to be released to the OS.
This is done to improve the WiMAX-protocol level retransmission
support when missing frames are detected.
The code docs provide details about the implementation.
In general, this just hooks into the RX path in rx.c; if a packet with
the reorder bit in the RX header is detected, the reorder information
in the header is extracted and one of the four main reorder operations
are executed. In one case (queue) no packet will be delivered to the
networking stack, just queued, whereas in the others (reset, update_ws
and queue_update_ws), queued packet might be delivered depending on
the window start for the specific queue.
The modifications to files other than rx.c are:
- control.c: during device initialization, enable reordering support
if the rx_reorder_disabled module parameter is not enabled
- driver.c: expose a rx_reorder_disable module parameter and call
i2400m_rx_setup/release() to initialize/shutdown RX reorder
support.
- i2400m.h: introduce members in 'struct i2400m' needed for
implementing reorder support.
- linux/i2400m.h: introduce TLVs, commands and constant definitions
related to RX reorder
Last but not least, the rx reorder code includes an small circular log
where the last N reorder operations are recorded to be displayed in
case of inconsistency. Otherwise diagnosing issues would be almost
impossible.

Newer i2400m firmwares (>= v1.4) extend the data RX protocol so that
each packet has a 16 byte header. This header is mainly used to
implement host reordeing (which is addressed in later commits).
However, this header also allows us to overwrite it (once data has
been extracted) with an Ethernet header and deliver to the networking
stack without having to reallocate the skb (as it happened in fw <=
v1.3) to make room for it.
- control.c: indicate the device [dev_initialize()] that the driver
wants to use the extended data RX protocol. Also involves adding the
definition of the needed data types in include/linux/wimax/i2400m.h.
- rx.c: handle the new payload type for the extended RX data
protocol. Prepares the skb for delivery to
netdev.c:i2400m_net_erx().
- netdev.c: Introduce i2400m_net_erx() that adds the fake ethernet
address to a prepared skb and delivers it to the networking
stack.
- cleanup: in most instances in rx.c, the variable 'single' was
renamed to 'single_last' for it better conveys its meaning.

For power saving reasons, WiMAX links can be put in idle mode while
connected after a certain time of the link not being used for tx or
rx. In this mode, the device pages the base-station regularly and when
data is ready to be transmitted, the link is revived.
This patch allows the user to control the time the device has to be
idle before it decides to go to idle mode from a sysfs
interace.
It also updates the initialization code to acknowledge the module
variable 'idle_mode_disabled' when the firmware is a newer version
(upcoming 1.4 vs 2.6.29's v1.3).
The method for setting the idle mode timeout in the older firmwares is
much more limited and can be only done at initialization time. Thus,
the sysfs file will return -ENOSYS on older ones.

Impact: standardize IO on cached ops
On modern CPUs it is almost always a bad idea to use non-temporal stores,
as the regression in this commit has shown it:
30d697f: x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall
The kernel simply has no good information about whether using non-temporal
stores is a good idea or not - and trying to add heuristics only increases
complexity and inserts fragility.
The regression on cached write()s took very long to be found - over two
years. So dont take any chances and let the hardware decide how it makes
use of its caches.
The only exception is drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c: there were we are
absolutely sure that another entity (the GPU) will pick up the dirty
data immediately and that the CPU will not touch that data before the
GPU will.
Also, keep the _nocache() primitives to make it easier for people to
experiment with these details. There may be more clear-cut cases where
non-cached copies can be used, outside of filemap.c.

Instead of keeping the single vector -> single linux irq mapping
we extend the intc code to support merging of vectors to a single
linux irq. This helps processors such as sh7750, sh7780 and sh7785
which have more vectors than masking ability. With this patch in
place we can modify the intc tables to use one irq per maskable
irq source. Please note the following:
- If multiple vectors share the same enum then only the
first vector will be available as a linux irq.
- Drivers may need to be rewritten to get pending irq
source from the hardware block instead of irq number.
This patch together with the sh7785 specific intc tables solves
DMA controller irq issues related to buggy interrupt masking.
