Use the %pM kernel extension to display the MAC address.

The only difference in the output is that the MAC address is

2d13bafeba net: Make it easier to parse /proc/net/dev contents.
The contents of /proc/net/dev is annoying to parse, because
it changes whether there is a space after the "ethX:" or not.
It depends upon the size of the "Receive bytes" counter,
if the number is below 7 digits, then there is whitespaces
else if the number is 8 digits or above there is no space
between the ":" and the number.

This patch changes the output to assure there is always a space
between the ":" and the number.  Given that all existing userspace
application already need to handle the whitespaces, I see
no breakage of existing tools.

65324144b5 net: RFC3069, private VLAN proxy arp support
This is to be used together with switch technologies, like RFC3069,
that where the individual ports are not allowed to communicate with
each other, but they are allowed to talk to the upstream router.  As
described in RFC 3069, it is possible to allow these hosts to
communicate through the upstream router by proxy_arp'ing.

This patch basically allow proxy arp replies back to the same
interface (from which the ARP request/solicitation was received).

Tunable per device via proc "proxy_arp_pvlan":
  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp_pvlan

This switch technology is known by different vendor names:
 - In RFC 3069 it is called VLAN Aggregation.
 - Cisco and Allied Telesyn call it Private VLAN.
 - Hewlett-Packard call it Source-Port filtering or port-isolation.
 - Ericsson call it MAC-Forced Forwarding (RFC Draft).

This patch fixes up a problem with found with commit
1f3c8804ac.  The original change
overloaded null_or_orig, but doing that prevented any packet handlers
that were not tied to a specific device (i.e. ptype->dev == NULL) from
ever receiving any frames.

The null_or_orig variable cannot be overloaded, and must be kept as NULL
to prevent the frame from being ignored by packet handlers designed to
accept frames on any interface.

SMSC Ethernet Transceivers (LAN88710, LAN8710, LAN8720, LAN8187,
LAN8700, LAN83C185) provide a mechanism to conserve power when
the device is not connected to an active link partner
(Energy Detect Mode).
So this patch enables the Energy Detect power-down mode
for these Transceivers.

c36531b9b2 sky2: Lock transmit queue while disabling device
netif_device_detach() does not take the tx_lock, so it's possible that
a call to sky2_xmit_frame is still in progress after
netif_device_detach() is complete.

Take netif_tx_lock() to make sure all transmits have stopped while
we're disabling the devices and that no other CPU is still
transmitting a frame after we've disabling the device.

Proposed fix for "sky2 panic under load" reported by Berck E. Nash.

c1c5523dd1 can/netlink: add CAN_CTRLMODE_ONE_SHOT
This patch adds the flag CAN_CTRLMODE_ONE_SHOT. It is used as mask
or flag in the "struct can_ctrlmode".

It allows userspace via netlink to set a CAN controller into the special
"one-shot" mode. In this mode, if supported by the CAN controller, it
tries only once to deliver a CAN frame and aborts it if an error
(e.g.: arbitration lost) happens.

annotate driver-ops.h with appropiate might_sleep() calls. At the same time,
also document in mac80211.h the op functions with missing contexts.

mac80211 doesn't seem to use get_tx_stats anywhere currently. Just to be on
the safe side, I documented it to be atomic, but hopefully the op can be
removed in the future.

Compile-tested only.

095d5ef608 mac80211: remove requeue from work
There's no need to be requeueing the work struct
since we check for the scan after removing items
due to possible timeouts.

1ed32e4fc8 mac80211: remove struct ieee80211_if_init_conf
All its members (vif, mac_addr, type) are now available
in the vif struct directly, so we can pass that instead
of the conf struct. I generated this patch (except the
mac80211 and header file changes) with this semantic
patch:

98b6218388 mac80211/cfg80211: add station events
When, for instance, a new IBSS peer is found, userspace
wants to be notified. Add events for all new stations
that mac80211 learns about.

e4da8c37af mac80211: make off-channel work generic
This changes mac80211 to allow being off-channel for
any type of work, not just the 'remain-on-channel'
work. This also helps fast transition to a BSS on a
different channel.

b8bc4b0aa9 mac80211: support remain-on-channel command
This implements the new remain-on-channel cfg80211
command in mac80211, extending the work interface.

Also change the work purge code to be able to clean
up events properly (pretending they timed out.)

9588bbd552 cfg80211: add remain-on-channel command
Add new commands for requesting the driver to remain awake
on a specified channel for the specified amount of time
(and another command to cancel such an operation). This
can be used to implement userspace-controlled off-channel
operations, like Public Action frame exchange on another
channel than the operation channel.

The off-channel operation should behave similarly to scan,
i.e. the local station (if associated) moves into power
save mode to request the AP to buffer frames for it and
then moves to the other channel to allow the off-channel
operation to be completed. The duration parameter can be
used to request enough time to receive a response from
the target station.

b203ffc3a4 mac80211: Generalize off-channel operation helpers from scan code
The off-channel operations for going into power save mode (station
mode) or stop beaconing (AP/IBSS) are not limited to scanning. Move
these into a separate file and allow them to be used for other
purposes, too.
