Subject: [PATCH 0/8] ipconfig: NTP server support, bug fixes, documentation improvements

This series (against net-next) makes various improvements to ipconfig:

 - Patch #1 correctly documents the behaviour of parameter 4 in the
   "ip=" and "nfsaddrs=" command line parameter.
 - Patch #2 tidies up the printk()s for reporting configured name
   servers.
 - Patch #3 fixes a bug in autoconfiguration via BOOTP whereby the IP
   addresses of IEN-116 name servers are requested from the BOOTP
   server, rather than those of DNS name servers.
 - Patch #4 requests the number of DNS servers specified by
   CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX when autoconfiguring via BOOTP, rather than
   hardcoding it to 2.
 - Patch #5 fully documents the contents and format of /proc/net/pnp in
   Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
 - Patch #6 fixes a bug whereby bogus information is written to
   /proc/net/pnp when ipconfig is not used.
 - Patch #7 allows for NTP servers to be configured (manually on the
   kernel command line or automatically via DHCP), enabling systems with
   an NFS root filesystem to synchronise their clock before mounting
   their root filesystem.

Patch #7 gets a few warnings when run through checkpatch.pl, but I felt
it'd be better to use the same style as surrounding code where
appropriate, rather than adhering strictly to the net/ style guide.
