The BerliOS project, which currently hosts our mailinglist, will
close with the end of the year. Now take the chance and remove all
occurrences of the mailinglist address from the source files.

As these pointers have been printed without using %p they were missed in the
big network kptr_restrict conversion patch %p -> %pK from Dan Rosenberg.

this patch removes the hlist that contains the CAN receiver filter lists.
It uses the 'midlayer private' pointer ml_priv and links the filters directly
to the CAN netdevice, which allows to omit the walk through the complete CAN
devices hlist for each received CAN frame.
This patch is tested and does not remove any locking.

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

This patch adds the CAN core functionality but no protocols or drivers.
No protocol implementations are included here. They come as separate
patches. Protocol numbers are already in include/linux/can.h.
