1) Make syn floods consume significantly less resources by

   a) Not pre-COW'ing routing metrics for SYN/ACKs
   b) Mirroring the device queue mapping of the SYN for the SYN/ACK
      reply.

   Both from Eric Dumazet.

2) Fix calculation errors in Byte Queue Limiting, from Hiroaki SHIMODA.

3) Validate the length requested when building a paged SKB for a
   socket, so we don't overrun the page vector accidently.  From Jason
   Wang.

4) When netlabel is disabled, we abort all IP option processing when
   we see a CIPSO option.  This isn't the right thing to do, we should
   simply skip over it and continue processing the remaining options
   (if any).  Fix from Paul Moore.

5) SRIOV fixes for the mellanox driver from Jack orgenstein and Marcel
   Apfelbaum.

6) 8139cp enables the receiver before the ring address is properly
   programmed, which potentially lets the device crap over random
   memory.  Fix from Jason Wang.

7) e1000/e1000e fixes for i217 RST handling, and an improper buffer
   address reference in jumbo RX frame processing from Bruce Allan
   and Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, respectively.

Please pull, thanks a lot!
