Rework of the Rx buffers allocation:
- Rx irq handler (velocity_rx_srv): defer the Rx buffer allocation until
  the packet processing loop is done;
- a separate index related to the Rx descriptor ("rd_dirty") is introduced
  to distinguish the first Rx descriptor whose buffer has to be refilled.
  This way the driver does not need to confuse this descriptor with the
  most recently netif()ed one. Rationale: batch + rx_copybreak;
- dirty/empty Rx descriptors are identified through the whole driver
  via an adequate NULL pointer in the velocity_rd_info[] array (see
  velocity_rx_refill() and velocity_receive_frame());
- Rx descriptors need to be grouped by a multiple of 4 before they can
  be handed back to the asic (hardware constraint). This task is moved
  from the Rx processing loop to the Rx refill function;
- factorization of code in velocity_init_rd_ring().

- Don't register the inet_addr notifier if the hardware is absent.  It
  oopses when other interfaces are being upped.

- Mark velocity_remove1() as __devexit_p in the pci_driver table.

- c99ification.

Weight loss in velocity_receive_frame():
- isolate the ip header alignment tsk from velocity_receive_frame();
- following p.30 of the datasheet, rdesc0.len includes the CRC length:
  the amount of data copied during the ip alignment can be shortened.

Introduce velocity_give_rx_desc() to uniformize the use of OWNED_BY_NIC
through the driver.

(Note: this serie requires a -mm based kernel as the via-velocity patches
are not included in Jeff's -netdev patches).



PCI ID moved from the driver to the kernel database. A change for the
pci.ids file project at souceforge has been submitted as well.

This contains hpfs fixes from my source ported to 2.6.7 kernel:

updates:
- allocator fragments files less
- OS/2 Warp Server filesystem can be mounted read/only
- added reschedule points so that it doesn't hog CPU

bug fixes:
- filesystem error message when syncing or fsyncing deleted file (or when
  system just writes it on its own)
- filesystem error on extremly fragmented files
- corrupted disk structures could possibly corrupt memory

In base kernel 2.6.7, there is bug in function hugetlb_prefault().  The
call to free_huge_page() is incorrect and should be replaced with a call
to page_cache_release().

This patch moves the pfm_ovfl_arg_t structure from the kernel stack

- Handle the overlapping mmaps in the MAP_FIXED case
- Handle unmaps correctly i.e. call __ia32_delete_pp_range()
- There are now three clear entry points into the pp manipulation code
        - ia32_set_pp
        - ia32_unset_pp
        - ia32_compare_pp
- Rename internal functions to __ia32_*pp_*
- Grab mmap_sem just once at the main entry point

This enhances the network simulation scheduler to do simple random loss.

The loss parameter is a simple 32 bit value such that 0 means no loss, and
0xffffffff is always drop.  I have a new version of the tc command which takes
care of conversion from percent to this value.

Sigh...  First of all, LSI folks have very quaint idea of existing
platforms and word sizes on those.  Their definitions of U32 and S32
should really be reserved for posterity (preferably chiseled into the
rock they have between the ears), but kernel is the wrong place for
that.  Fixed.

mptctl_do_mpt_command() was always called on userland pointers;
kernel/userland argument removed along with dead code, function
annotated, callers updated.

The rest is trivial annotations in mptctl.c and in its ioctl structures
- nothing fancy there.
