A MAX_TAP_QUEUES(1024) queues of tuntap device is always allocated
unconditionally even userspace only requires a single queue device. This is
unnecessary and will lead a very high order of page allocation when has a high
possibility to fail. Solving this by creating a one queue net device when
userspace only use one queue and also reduce MAX_TAP_QUEUES to
DEFAULT_MAX_NUM_RSS_QUEUES which can guarantee the success of
the allocation.

Reverting 328d7b8 and instead adding an exception for the
Sierra Wireless MC7710.
commit 328d7b8 (net: cdc_mbim: send ZLP after max sized NTBs)
added a workaround for an issue observed on one specific device.
Concerns were raised that this workaround adds a performance
penalty to all devices based on questionable, if not buggy,
behaviour of a single device:
"If you add ZLP for NTBs of dwNtbOutMaxSize, you are heavily affecting CPU
load, increasing interrupt load by factor of 2 in high load traffic
scenario and possibly decreasing throughput for all other devices
which behaves correctly."
"The idea of NCM was to avoid extra ZLPs. If your transfer is exactly
dwNtbOutMaxSize, it's known, you can submit such request on the receiver
side and you do not need any EOT indicatation, so the frametime can be
used for useful data."
Adding a device specific exception to prevent the workaround from
affecting well behaved devices.
The assumption here is that needing a ZLP is truly an *exception*.
We do not yet have enough data to verify this. The generic
workaround in commit 328d7b8 should be considered acceptable despite
the performance penalty if the exception list becomes a maintainance
hassle.

Sometimes it is useful to be able to change the MAC address of the
interface for netback devices. For example, when using ebtables it may
be useful to be able to distinguish traffic from different interfaces
without depending on the interface name.

This reverts commit eccf2979b2c034b516e01b8a104c3739f7ef07d1.
The reason is that it broke TI WiLink shared transport on Panda.
Also, callback functions should not be added to board files anymore,
so revert to implementing the power functions in the driver itself.
Additionally, changed a variable name ('status' to 'err') so that this
revert compiles properly.

The acpi core will call request_module("acpi-cpufreq") on subsystem init,
but this will fail if the module isn't available at that stage of boot.
Add some module aliases to ensure that udev can load the module on Intel
and AMD systems with the appropriate feature bits - I /think/ that this
will also work on VIA systems, but haven't verified that.

it might upset the synchronization of the BlockAck receive window of the

Since rt2800 hardware isn't capable of reporting the TX status of
BlockAckReq frames implement the TX status handling of BARs in
rt2x00lib. We keep track of all BARs that are send out and try to
match incoming BAs to the appropriate BARs. This allows us to report a
more or less accurate TX status for BAR frames which in turn improves
BA session stability.
This is loosley based on Christian Lamparter's patch for carl9170
"carl9170: fix HT peer BA session corruption".
We have to walk the list of pending BARs for every rx'red BA even
though most BAs don't belong to any of these BARs as they are just
acknowledging an AMPDU. To keep that overhead low use RCU which allows
us to walk the list of pending BARs without the need to acquire a lock.
This however requires us to _copy_ relevant information from the BAR
(RA, TA, control field, start sequence number) into our BAR list entry.

Christoph Paasch found netxen could trigger a BUG in its dismantle
phase, in netxen_release_tx_buffer(), using full size TSO packets.
cmd_buf->frag_count includes the skb->data part, so the loop must
start at index 1 instead of 0, or else we can make an out
of bound access to cmd_buff->frag_array[MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2]
Christoph provided the fixes in netxen_map_tx_skb() function.
In case of a dma mapping error, its better to clear the dma fields
so that we don't try to unmap them again in netxen_release_tx_buffer()

The last update to the Ethernet HowTo (over 10 years ago) listed this:
------------------------
SEEQ 8005
Status: Obsolete, Driver Name: seeq8005
There is little information about the card included in the driver,
and hence little information to be put here. If you have a question,
you are probably best trying to e-mail the driver author as listed
in the source.
It was marked obsolete as of the 2.4 series kernels.
------------------------
If it was obsolete over a decade ago, the situation can not have
improved with the passage of time, so let us act on that. Even with
today's improved search engines, I was unable to locate any real
meaningful information on the ISA implementation of this rare chip.
There are ARM and SGI variants of the driver in tree, but they do
not depend on the original x86 driver source or header file. We
leave those non-x86 drivers to be deleted by the arch maintainers
when they decide to expire those legacy platforms as a whole.

This is another one that makes sense to target for obsolescence, since
it (a)appeared pre-1995, and (b)was rather rare, and (c)did not
really have any statistically significant active linux user base.
Removing this ISA 10Mbit driver support is unlikely to be even noticed
by the user base of 3.9+ linux kernels, especially when the documentation
clearly indicates the vintage with this text:
"...designed to work with all kernels > 1.1.33"

These are old ISA 10Mbit cards from the 1st 1/2 of the 1990s and

This is an area I know all too well, after being author of several 8390
drivers, and maintainer of all 8390 drivers during a large part of their
active lifecycle.
To that end, I can say this with a reasonable degree of confidence.
The drivers deleted here represent the earliest (as in early 1990)
hardware and/or rare hardware. The remaining hardware not deleted
here is the more modern/sane of the lot, with ISA-PnP and jumperless
"soft configuration" like the wd and smc cards had.
The original ne2000 driver (ne.c) gets a pass at this time since
AT/LANTIC based cards that could be both ne2000 or wd-like (with
shared memory) and with jumperless configuration were made in the
mid to late 1990's, and performed reasonably well for their era.
