This is Erik Andersen's excellent strncpy.
It works like magic. That "if" isn't a jump;
gcc uses a few integer instructions to wipe
out all jumps except for the loop itself and
the function call/return.

This has been exhaustively tested against glibc.

The existing code has 5 extra branches and
is over twice as large. (my gcc, etc.)

This fixes a problem that's been hidden for a while.

DAC960_open() will try to dereference a NULL pointer if an application
opens (for example) /dev/rd/c0d12 when there has never been a logical
device created for that file.

typechecking in gcc-3.3.1.

The scsi ones are already gone in jejb's tree, I'll post a patch
to kill the struct fields once the scsi tree and this patch end
up merged in mainline.

This removes three remaining instances of device.name.
1.) the isapnp driver
2.) the protocol management code
3.) the pnp serial driver

A name field has been introduced to pnp_dev and pnp_card to
store human readable names reported by pnp.

From John Clemens

A recent patch from James had incorrect PCI IDs for a few Radeon
chips (the Radeon M9 chips Ld,Le,Lf and Lg, he used the IDs of the
Id,Ie,If and Ig instead).

This fixes that and group the properly by family (those got a bit
shuffled around lately).

This fixes the build of PowerMac driver core with the removal
of struct device "name" field.

This fixes build of ide-scsi after removal of struct device.name

Damm, I keep forgetting about firewire, sorry.

This should fix the ieee1394 code for the device.name removal, and for
the i2c structure changes that happened in 2.6.0-test3.

Based upon patches from Yoshfuji Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org>

irlap hashbin is only used in one file, so make it private not global.

irlap_open should take a constant string because it copies
its argument.  Therefore, irtty_net_open doesn't have to make
a copy!

irda_device_setup signature should match ether_setup so it can
be used with alloc_netdev.  No caller was checking the return
value anyway.

The irda tty line discipline does not handle the new module
paradigm well.  This patch fixes that:
- initialize line discipline as data, not with code
- set module owner
- make prototype for irtty_ioctl match expected
  arguments from tty discipline
- get rid of explicit MOD_INC/MOD_DEC

Working on converting IRDA to new netdevice semantics, this is the first
of some of the small things I found.

The irtty hashbin is created, maintained and never used.
Motivation for removing is that the hashbin locking has problems with
the locking assumptions in on network device removal.

Add wireless statistics to /net/class/ethXX/wireless.

Now that unregister_sysfs got smaller, just eliminate it and call
class_device_unregister directly.  netdev_finish_unregister is called
one place, therefore it is easier to understand if we just put those
few lines into wait_allrefs state machine.

Net statistics were in a kobject only because there was no better way
to create a directory.  Latest 2.6.0-test3 bk tree, has merged in
Pat's change to provide 'attribute groups'.

This patch converts netdevice's from a statistic's kobject to attribute
group.  This is cleaner and fixes some shutdown unload issues as well.

Ps. it gets rid of of the object

   - define format strings once rather than N times
   - add GNU license that I forgot in original code
   - move read_lock out from format_address to show_address so
     device is alive test is inside of lock.

With the new module system MOD_INC/MOD_DEC are no longer necessary.
Also changed to new module init/exit macros for function setup.

The module exit code can sleep, so calling schedule_timeout is better
than spinning.

This patch adds support for the use of twofish and serpent as
ESP algorithms. The ESP index numbers given are in accordance
with RFC2407, draft-ietf-ipsec-ciph-aes-cbc-00 (before Rijndael
was selected), and KAME which assigns 253 to twofishcbc.

Support for using twofish was requested on linux-kernel, and
since I noticed serpent was missing too, included that as well.
