Subject: [GIT]: Networking

The e1000 length check patch is pretty important and allows to
easily OOPS the e1000 driver.

The forcedeth PHY powerdown change fixes a particularly pugnant
problem folks have been running into.  Because BIOS's, other OS's
and even older versions of Linux don't explicitly power-up the
PHY on driver load, powering it down at shutdown makes the device
inoperable until the next power cycle.  So default to not doing
this, the user can enable it with a module option.

The packet classifier API can crash if the configuration of a new rule
fails, it won't even destroy it.  We have to be careful to not put
the new rule into the list until the configuration method passes.

Bluetooth does flush_work()'s which are 1) unnecessary and 2)
introduce deadlocks.

Please pull, thanks a lot!
