Some versions of gcc generate incorrect code for the inet_check_attr()
function, apparently due to a totally bogus index -> pointer comparison
transformation.
At least "gcc version 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5)" from FC4 is
affected, possibly others too.
This changes the function subtly so that the buggy gcc transformation
doesn't trigger.

To help in reducing the number of include dependencies, several files were
touched as they were getting needed headers indirectly for stuff they use.
Thanks also to Alan Menegotto for pointing out that net/dccp/proto.c had
linux/dccp.h include twice.

The receive path for fib_lookup netlink messages is lacking sanity
checks for header and payload and is thus vulnerable to malformed
netlink messages causing illegal memory references.

fib_del_ifaddr() dereferences ifa->ifa_dev, so the code already assumes that
ifa->ifa_dev is non-NULL, the check is unnecessary.

The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.
1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().
There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition. I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.
This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.

Below is a more generic patch to do fib_lookup via netlink. For others
we should say that we discussed this as a way to verify route selection.
It's also possible there are others uses for this.
In short the fist half of struct fib_result_nl is filled in by caller
and netlink call fills in the other half and returns it.
In case anyone is interested there is a corresponding user app to compare
the full routing table this was used to test implementation of the LC-trie.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
