Wan router register/unregister does not need MOD_INC/MOD_DEC because it
can not be unloaded as long as its symbols are in use by the calling module.

Without an exit routine lapb can't be unloaded.

The MOD_INC and MOD_DEC in lapb are no longer necessary in 2.6 since
the module subsystem will not allow lapb to be unloaded as long as a module
that is referencing the symbols (lapb_register/lapb_unregister) is loaded.

- Recognition of reserved anycasts is removed from ipv6_addr_type()
  Flag IPV6_ADDR_ANYCAST is removed as well.
- Some meaningless noop code checking for anycast which are not
  going to happen is removed from ndisc.c
- ipv6_unicast_destination() replaces suboptimal ipv6_chk_acast_addr()
  in data paths

As noted by Gergely Nagy:

  "devfs_mk_cdev() first checks the mode passed to it, and if it thinks
   it is not a char device, it prints a warning and aborts.  Now, this
   printing involves the local variable `buf' (char buf[64]), which is
   not initialised at that point."

The same problem also affects devfs_mk_bdev.

Fixed thus.

  "I'm working on updating the ia64 tree with local_t etc.  One
   thing that would really help me: could you make
   asm-generic/percpu_modcopy() a macro?  The routine depends on
   cpu_possible(), but I can't including smp.h in percpu.h since
   that would lead to recusive header-file dependencies (and in my
   opinion, percpu.h should be more "primitive" than smp.h, so that
   it can be included virtually everywhere)."

A few places pre-declare "int module_init(void);" and "void
module_cleanup(void);".  Other than being obsolete, this is
unneccessary (it's in init.h anyway).

There are still about 100 places which still use the
obsolete-since-2.2 "a function named module_init() magically gets
called": this change frees us up implement that via a macro.

Define module_put_and_exit() and use it for nfsd/lockd

Both nfsd and lockd have threads which expect to hold a reference
to the module while the thread is running.  In order for the thread
to be able to put_module() the module before exiting, the
put_module code must be call from outside the module.

This patch provides module_put_and_exit in non-modular code which a
thread-in-a-module can call.  It also gets nfsd and lockd to use it
as appropriate.

Note that in lockd, we can __get_module in the thread itself as the
creator of the thread is waiting for the thread to startup.

In nfsd and for the 'reclaimer' threaded started by locked, we
__get_module first and put_module if the thread failed to start.

Somehow, the code which taints the kernel when rmmod -f is used got
lost.  Restore it.

These are the local_t bits for sparc64.

Other platforms such as PPC64 and Alpha (and in fact any "load locked/
store conditional" like platform other than IA64), probably want to do
something similar.
