[NET]: Avoid pointless allocation casts in BSD compression module [IRDA]: Do not do pointless kmalloc return value cast in KingSun driver [NET]: Fix crash in dev_mc_sync()/dev_mc_unsync() [PPPOL2TP]: Fix endianness annotations. [IOAT]: ioatdma needs to to play nice in a multi-dma-client world [SLIP]: trivial sparse warning fix [EQL]: sparse warning fix [NET]: is_power_of_2 in net/core/neighbour.c [TCP]: Describe tcp_init_cwnd() thoroughly in a comment.
