This makes the new PID TX rate control algorithm the default instead of the
rc80211_simple rate control algorithm. The simple algorithm was flawed in
several ways: it wasn't responsive at all and didn't age the information it was
relying on properly. The PID algorithm allows us to tune characteristics such
as responsiveness by adjusting parameters and was found to generally behave
better.
The default algorithm can be overridden to select simple instead. Which
ever algorithm is the default is included as part of the mac80211
module automatically. The other algorithm (simple vs. pid) can
be selected for inclusion as well. If EMBEDDED is selected then
the choice is available to have no default specified and neither
algorithm included in mac80211. The default algorithm can be set
through a modparam.
While at it, mark rc80211-simple as deprecated, and schedule it
for removal.

This patch fixes a number of small but potentially troublesome things in the
XFRM/IPsec code:
* Use the 'audit_enabled' variable already in include/linux/audit.h
Removed the need for extern declarations local to each XFRM audit fuction
* Convert 'sid' to 'secid' everywhere we can
The 'sid' name is specific to SELinux, 'secid' is the common naming
convention used by the kernel when refering to tokenized LSM labels,
unfortunately we have to leave 'ctx_sid' in 'struct xfrm_sec_ctx' otherwise
we risk breaking userspace
* Convert address display to use standard NIP* macros
Similar to what was recently done with the SPD audit code, this also also
includes the removal of some unnecessary memcpy() calls
* Move common code to xfrm_audit_common_stateinfo()
Code consolidation from the "less is more" book on software development
* Proper spacing around commas in function arguments
Minor style tweak since I was already touching the code

This patch does three things. It modifies tg3_setup_flow_control() to
use the administrator requested flow control settings if
autonegotiation is turned off. It slightly modifies the
tg3_setup_fiber_mii_phy() function to account for this new use case.
And finally, it does the same for tg3_setup_copper_phy().
The copper modifications are more than a small multi-line change. The
new code makes an attempt to avoid a link renegotiation if the link is
active at half duplex and the only difference between the current
advertised settings and requested advertised settings is the
flow control advertisements.

The neigh_del_timer() looks sane - it removes the timer and
(conditionally) puts the neighbor. I expected, that the
neigh_add_timer() is symmetrical to the del one - i.e. it
holds the neighbor and arms the timer - but it turned out
that it was not so.
I think, that making them look symmetrical makes the code
more readable.

The Security Considerations section of RFC 5061 has the following
text:
If an SCTP endpoint that supports this extension receives an INIT
that indicates that the peer supports the ASCONF extension but does
NOT support the [RFC4895] extension, the receiver of such an INIT
MUST send an ABORT in response. Note that an implementation is
allowed to silently discard such an INIT as an option as well, but
under NO circumstance is an implementation allowed to proceed with
the association setup by sending an INIT-ACK in response.
An implementation that receives an INIT-ACK that indicates that the
peer does not support the [RFC4895] extension MUST NOT send the
COOKIE-ECHO to establish the association. Instead, the
implementation MUST discard the INIT-ACK and report to the upper-
layer user that an association cannot be established destroying the
Transmission Control Block (TCB).
Follow the recomendations.
