Subject: PIM-SM namespace changes


Some bugs to fix before I can apply these Tom.

For one thing, in the IPV4 patch:

 	setup_timer(&ipmr_expire_timer, ipmr_expire_process, 0);
 	err = register_netdevice_notifier(&ip_mr_notifier);
+#ifdef CONFIG_IP_PIMSM_V2
+	if (inet_add_protocol(&pim_protocol, IPPROTO_PIM) < 0) {
+		printk(KERN_ERR "ip_mr_init: can't add PIM protocol\n");
+		err = -EAGAIN;
+	}
+#endif
 	if (err)
 		goto reg_notif_fail;

This adds the protocol even if the notifier registry fails.

It also leaves the notifier registered if the protocol add fails.

Also we need to seriously discuss how now we unconditionally
register the PIM protocols.  Before we had a policy of only
doing so conditionally, and that's a change that needs to
be carefully considered and discussed.
