Subject: net: convert multicast list to list_head

Converts the list and the core manipulating with it to be the same as uc_list.

+uses two functions for adding/removing mc address (normal and "global"
 variant) instead of a function parameter.
+removes dev_mcast.c completely.
+exposes netdev_hw_addr_list_* macros along with __hw_addr_* functions for
 manipulation with lists on a sandbox (used in bonding and 80211 drivers)

Subject: net: trans_start cleanups

Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it
in drivers themselves, if possible. Drivers can avoid one cache miss
(on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit() handler.

Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers

From a4b770972b8f819e408d7cc3ae9637e15bff62f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>
Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 00:19:28 -0700
Subject: drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s

This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary
return; statements that precede the last closing brace of
void functions.

It does not remove the returns that are immediately
preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.

It also does not remove null void functions with return.

Done via:
$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \

Subject: ibmveth: Add suspend/resume support

Adds support for resuming from suspend for IBM virtual ethernet devices.
We may have lost an interrupt over the suspend, so we just kick the
interrupt handler to process anything that is outstanding.

Subject: drivers/net: Use kcalloc or kzalloc

Use kcalloc or kzalloc rather than the combination of kmalloc and memset.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

statement S;
type T;
@@

x =
-   kmalloc

+           y, sizeof(T),
                flags);
 if (x == NULL) S
-memset(x, 0, y * sizeof(T));
