Adrian Bunk f04e3f092a [PATCH] document that 8139TOO supports 8129/8130
The 8129/8130 support is a sub-option that is not visible if the user
hasn't enabled the 8139 support.

Let's make it a bit easier for users to find the driver for their nic.

Christoph Lameter 8199d3a79c [PATCH] A new 10GB Ethernet Driver by Chelsio Communications
A Linux driver for the Chelsio 10Gb Ethernet Network Controller by Chelsio
(http://www.chelsio.com).  This driver supports the Chelsio N210 NIC and is
backward compatible with the Chelsio N110 model 10Gb NICs.  It supports
AMD64, EM64T and x86 systems.

- my3126.c is unused (because t1_my3126_ops isn't used anywhere)
- what are the EXTRA_CFLAGS in drivers/net/chelsio/Makefile for?
- $(cxgb-y) in drivers/net/chelsio/Makefile seems to be unneeded
- completely unused global functions:
  - espi.c: t1_espi_get_intr_counts
  - sge.c: t1_sge_get_intr_counts
- the following functions can be made static:
  - sge.c: t1_espi_workaround
  - sge.c: t1_sge_tx
  - subr.c: __t1_tpi_read
  - subr.c: __t1_tpi_write
  - subr.c: t1_wait_op_done

The performance recommendations in cxgb.txt are common to all fast devices,
and should be in one file rather than just for this device. I would rather
see ip-sysctl.txt updated or a new file on tuning recommendations started.
Some of them have consequences that aren't documented well.
For example, turning off TCP timestamps risks data corruption from sequence wrap.

A new driver shouldn't need so may #ifdef's unless you want to putit on older
vendor versions of 2.4

Some accessor and wrapper functions like:
        t1_pci_read_config_4
        adapter_name
        t1_malloc
are just annoying noise.

Why have useless dead code like:

/* Interrupt handler */
+static int pm3393_interrupt_handler(struct cmac *cmac)
+{
+       u32 master_intr_status;
+/*
+    1. Read master interrupt register.
+    2. Read BLOCK's interrupt status registers.
+    3. Handle BLOCK interrupts.
+*/

step 1:  kill all the OS wrappers.

 And do you really need hooks for multiple MACs, when only one MAC is
 really supported?  Typically these hooks are at a higher level anyway --
 struct net_device.

From: Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter

Driver modified as suggested by Pekka Enberg, Stephen Hemminger and Andrian
Bunk.  Reduces the size of the driver to ~260k.

- clean up tabs
- removed my3126.c
- removed 85% of suni1x10gexp_regs.h
- removed 80% of regs.h
- removed various calls, renamed variables/functions.
- removed system specific and other wrappers (usleep, msleep)
- removed dead code
- dropped redundant casts in osdep.h
- dropped redundant check of kfree
- dropped weird code (MODVERSIONS stuff)
- reduced number of #ifdefs
- use kcalloc now instead of kmalloc
- Add information about known issues with the driver
- Add information about authors

Adrian Bunk 5aa83a4c0a [PATCH] remove two obsolete net drivers
The options FMV18X and SK_G16 do depend on the non-available
  CONFIG_OBSOLETE even in kernel 2.4 - IOW, the last time it was able to
  select them was in kernel 2.2 (or even before).
  
  Since it seems noone misses these drivers, this patch removes them.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 16b817579f [PATCH] ppc32: MV643XX ethernet is an option for Pegasos
This patch allows Kconfig to build the MV643xx ethernet driver on Pegasos
(CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM) and adds what I think is a missing fix from
Dale's batch, that is remove SA_INTERRUPT and add SA_SHIRQ in there as the
interrupt is shared if I understand things correctly.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
