TCP: Add comments to (near) all functions in tcp_output.c v3
While looking for something else I spent some time adding
one liner comments to the tcp_output.c functions that
didn't have any. That makes the comments more consistent.
I hope I documented everything right.
No code changes.
v2: Incorporated feedback from Ilpo.
v3: Change style of one liner comments, add a few more comments.

platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the

Programs (like dcbd) can set the skb priority using a socket option. Or, a tc

at91ether_probe lives in .init.text, so using platform_driver_register

As requested by David Brownell platform_driver_probe is used instead of
moving the probe function to .devinit.text as proposed initially.
This saves some memory, but devices registered after the driver is
probed are not bound (probably there are none) and binding via sysfs

Once the "data" pointer is freed, we can't be iterating

Apparently there actually _are_ tools that try to set

simply allow setting the soft-block state in sysfs.

mac80211: disable mesh
My kvm instance was complaining a lot about sleeping
in atomic contexts in the mesh code, and it turns out
that both mesh_path_add() and mpp_path_add() need to
be able to sleep (they even use synchronize_rcu()!).
I put in a might_sleep() to annotate that, but I see
no way, at least right now, of actually making sure
those functions are only called from process context
since they are both called during TX and RX and the
mesh code itself even calls them with rcu_read_lock()
"held".
Therefore, let's disable it completely for now.
It's possible that I'm only seeing this because the
hwsim's beaconing is broken and thus the peers aren't
discovered right away, but it is possible that this
happens even if beaconing is working, for a peer that
doesn't exist or so.
It should be possible to solve this by deferring the
freeing of the tables to call_rcu() instead of using
synchronize_rcu(), and also using atomic allocations,
but maybe it makes more sense to rework the code to
not call these from atomic contexts and defer more of
the work to the workqueue. Right now, I can't work on
either of those solutions though.

This changes the power_level file to adhere to the "one value
per file" sysfs rule. The user will know which power level was
requested as it will be the number just written to this file. It
is thus not necessary to create a new sysfs file for this value.
In addition it fixes a problem where powertop's parsing expects
this value to be the first value in this file without any descriptions.

The tx ring accounting fix in commit cb2107be43d2fc5eadec58b92b
("netxen: fix tx ring accounting") introduced intermittent
deadlock when inteface is going down.
This was possibly combined effect of speculative tx pause,
calling netif_tx_lock instead of queue lock and unclean
synchronization with napi which could end up unmasking
interrupt.

RDS/IB: Handle connections using RDS 3.0 wire protocol
The big differences between RDS 3.0 and 3.1 are protocol-level
flow control, and with 3.1 the header is in front of the data. The header
always ends up in the header buffer, and the data goes in the data page.
In 3.0 our "header" is a trailer, and will end up either in the data
page, the header buffer, or split across the two. Since 3.1 is backwards-
compatible with 3.0, we need to continue to support these cases. This
patch does that -- if using RDS 3.0 wire protocol, it will copy the header
from wherever it ended up into the header buffer.
