real mode pointer as the second and the heap area as the third argument

In the change in commit 09a05394fe2448a4139b014936330af23fa7ec83, I
overlooked two nits in the logic and this broke using CLONE_PTRACE
when PTRACE_O_TRACE* are not being used.
A parent that is itself traced at all but not using PTRACE_O_TRACE*,
using CLONE_PTRACE would have its new child fail to be traced.
A parent that is not itself traced at all that uses CLONE_PTRACE
(which should be a no-op in this case) would confuse the bookkeeping
and lead to a crash at exit time.

pktgen: multiqueue etc.
Sofar far pktgen have had a restriction to only use one device per kernel
thread. With the new multiqueue architecture this is no longer adequate.
The patch below is an effort to remove this by in pktgen configuration
adding a tag to the device name a la eth0@0 etc. The tag is used for
usual device config just as before. Also a new flag is introduced to mirror
queue_map with sending threads smp_processor_id() QUEUE_MAP_CPU.
An example: We use 4 CPU's to send to one 10g interface (eth0)
and we use the new tagging to send a mix of packet sizes, 64, 576 and
1500 bytes. Also we use TX queues according to smp_processor_id()

Remove includes of asm/hardware.h in addition to asm/arch/hardware.h.
Then, since asm/hardware.h only exists to include asm/arch/hardware.h,
update everything to directly include asm/arch/hardware.h and remove

bonding: Don't destroy bonding master when removing slave via sysfs
It is wrong to destroy a bonding master from a context that uses the sysfs
of that bond. When last IPoIB slave is unenslaved from by writing to a
sysfs file (for bond0 this would be /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves)
the driver tries to destroy the bond. This is wrong and can lead to a
lockup or a crash. This fix lets the bonding master stay and relies on
the user to destroy the bonding master if necessary (i.e. before module
ib_ipoib is unloaded)
This patch affects only bonds of IPoIB slaves. Ethernet slaves stay
unaffected.

bonding: refactor mii monitor
Refactor mii monitor. As with the previous ARP monitor refactor,
the motivation for this is to handle locking rationally (in this case,
removing conditional locking) and generally clean up the code.
This patch breaks up the monolithic mii monitor into two phases:
an inspection phase, followed by an optional commit phase. The commit phase
is the only portion that requires RTNL or makes changes to state, and is
only called when inspection finds something to change.

[netdrvr] Drivers should not set IFF_* flag themselves
Some hardware set promisc when they are requested to set IFF_ALLMULTI flag.
It's ok, but if drivers set IFF_PROMISC flag when they set promisc,
it will broken upper layer handle for promisc and allmulti.
In addition, drivers can use their own hardware programming to make it.
So do not allow drivers to set IFF_* flags.
This is a general driver fix, so I didn't split it to pieces and send
to specific driver maintainers.

This patch lets platform code set the desired MAC address through platform

Fix possible bug where end of receive buffer could be overwritten.
The allocation needs to allow for the reserved space. This would only happen

Change this driver to use netdev_alloc_skb rather than setting skb->dev
directly. For the initial allocation it doesn't need to be GFP_ATOMIC.

Making this field expansion now gives us plenty of time to fix up the
