1) A user reported that with 75 byte MSS and 75 byte advertised window
   (some strange embedded device), we packetize in TCP even when the
   full window is available.

   We do this as part of our SWS algorithm, and the logic makes sense
   when MSS is extremely large (say, 64K) but it doesn't have any
   value in this kind of case.

   So avoid the "bound by half of max window" logic when MSS is very
   small.

   Fix from Alexey N. Kuznetsov.

2) Non-linear SKBs are not handled properly by bonding.  From Andy
   Gospodarek.

3) LLC stores negative error codes in an unsinged short, and also
   has signed overflow issues in llc_ui_setsockopt().  From
   Dan Carpenter.

4) NULL deref in ppp_mp_explode(), also from Dan Carpenter.

5) Uninitialized memory reading fixes in USB/HSO, EQL, and
   CXGB3 network drivers.  All from Dan Rosenberg.

6) WOL handlers in 3c59x sleep in atomic, fix from Denis Kirjanov.

7) Fix NULL defer in sch_atm.

8) Add proper dependencies for CONFIG_RPS, otherwise architectures
   not using the generic SMP helpers won't build.

9) IP_NODEFRAG was mistakenly added with only a "setsockopt()"
   handler, add the trivial getsockopt() side.  From Michael Kerrisk.

10) PAL state machine missing an ops pointer validation on resume.
    From Simon Guinot.

11) Need to handle rxfifo errors on 8158 r8169 chips.  Fix by Matthew Garrett.

12) DCA needs to be disabled on some platforms, from Maciej Sosnowski.

13) SCTP remote oops from from Vlad Yasevich.

14) Fix RCU warnings in netpoll_rx(), from Herbert Xu.  More permanent
    long term cure coming from Paul E. McKenney.

15) Fix RCU locking in IPSEC output path, from Eric Dumazet.
