Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6: (1429 commits)
  net: Allow dependancies of FDDI & Tokenring to be modular.
  igb: Fix build warning when DCA is disabled.
  net: Fix warning fallout from recent NAPI interface changes.
  gro: Fix potential use after free
  sfc: If AN is enabled, always read speed/duplex from the AN advertising bits
  sfc: When disabling the NIC, close the device rather than unregistering it
  sfc: SFT9001: Add cable diagnostics
  sfc: Add support for multiple PHY self-tests
  sfc: Merge top-level functions for self-tests
  sfc: Clean up PHY mode management in loopback self-test
  sfc: Fix unreliable link detection in some loopback modes
  sfc: Generate unique names for per-NIC workqueues
  802.3ad: use standard ethhdr instead of ad_header
  802.3ad: generalize out mac address initializer
  802.3ad: initialize ports LACPDU from const initializer
  802.3ad: remove typedef around ad_system
  802.3ad: turn ports is_individual into a bool
  802.3ad: turn ports is_enabled into a bool
  802.3ad: make ntt bool
  ixgbe: Fix set_ringparam in ixgbe to use the same memory pools.
  ...

Fixed trivial IPv4/6 address printing conflicts in fs/cifs/connect.c due
to the conversion to %pI (in this networking merge) and the addition of
doing IPv6 addresses (from the earlier merge of CIFS).
