bonding / ipv6: no addrconf for slaves separately from master
At present, when a device is enslaved to bonding, if ipv6 is
active then addrconf will be initated on the slave (because it is closed
then opened during the enslavement processing). This causes DAD and RS
packets to be sent from the slave. These packets in turn can confuse
switches that perform ipv6 snooping, causing them to incorrectly update
their forwarding tables (if, e.g., the slave being added is an inactve
backup that won't be used right away) and direct traffic away from the
active slave to a backup slave (where the incoming packets will be
dropped).
This patch alters the behavior so that addrconf will only run on
the master device itself. I believe this is logically correct, as it
prevents slaves from having an IPv6 identity independent from the
master. This is consistent with the IPv4 behavior for bonding.
This is accomplished by (a) having bonding set IFF_SLAVE sooner
in the enslavement processing than currently occurs (before open, not
after), and (b) having ipv6 addrconf ignore UP and CHANGE events on
slave devices.
The eql driver also uses the IFF_SLAVE flag. I inspected eql,
and I believe this change is reasonable for its usage of IFF_SLAVE, but
I did not test it.

We intend this patch to improve spidernet interrupt handling to be
more strict. We had following problem and this patch solves it.
-when CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ=y, request_irq() calls handler().
-when spider_net_open() is called, it calls request_irq() which calls
spider_net_interrupt().
-if some specific interrupt bit is set at this timing, it calls
netif_rx_schedule() and spider_net_poll() is scheduled.
-spider_net_open() calls netif_poll_enable() which clears the bit
__LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED.
-when spider_net_poll() is called, it calls netif_rx_complete() which
causes BUG_ON() because __LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED is not set.
The 3cSOHO100-TX needs a mdio_sync() before mdio_read() to read the MII
transceiver registers properly. Adding EXTRA_PREAMBLE to drv_flags of the
3cSOHO100-TX will force this.
This problem exists already for years (I checked back to 2.6.8).
Setting duplex for the 3cSOHO100-TX was more or less a random process.
Till 2.6.15 it was more likely that the diver ends up in half
duplex mode, after the code change in 2.6.16 it was more likely
to end up in full duplex mode. I wonder why nobody noticed this earier.

far). While doing conversion I noticed that the old code had many issues:

* value of "(ultra_timing >> (4*unit)) & ~(0xF0)" expression wasn't checked

* code validating DMA timings didn't validate corresponding PIO timings
* extra CSB5 PIO register wasn't validated et all
* hwif->ide_dma_off_quietly() is always called before ide_set_dma() (which in
turn calls hwif->speedproc() method - svwks_tune_chipset() in this case)
so the code depending on DMA capable bit of DMA status to be set was never

enabling DMA if the PIO timings were OK!)
* on resume driver dependend entirely on BIOS to restore timings and set
