Fix unchecked __get_user that could be tricked into generating a
memory read on an arbitrary address. The result of the read is not
returned directly but you may be able to divine some information about
it, or use the read to cause a crash on some architectures by reading
hardware state. CAN-2004-2492.

The problem is that we're now calling tcp_fragment() in a context
where the packets might be marked as SACKED_ACKED or SACKED_RETRANS.
This was not possible before as you never retransmitted packets that
are so marked.
Because of this, we need to adjust sacked_out and retrans_out in
tcp_fragment(). This is exactly what the following patch does.
We also need to preserve the SACKED_ACKED/SACKED_RETRANS marking
if they exist.

Basically, this extends original dp264 fixup to all dp264 variations.
Here is one minor change: mask out bits 4-7 of a value assigned by SRM,
because
- newer consoles report ISA IRQs with offset 0xe0;
- even if console IRQ value is bogus, we'll have a value < 16
so it should be harmless as it won't clash with native IRQs.
Particularly this fixes USB interrupt problem on xp1000 and es40.

Patch from Deepak Saxena
Building a kernel for IXDP425 currently includes the machine descriptors
for IXDP465 and PRPMC1100 even if those machines are not configured.
This means we can build a kernel that boots on those machines even
though the machine_is_xxx() macro will always return 0 and other bits
such as PCI won't be compiled in. This can lead to many wasted hours
wondering what you have done to your kernel to make it randomly crash
thus requireing large quantities of beer to be consumed. While I am
all for consumption of large quantities of beer, there are better
reasons to do so then stupid kernel bugs.

BUG fixes:
The driver used to allocate memory with spinlock held which has been
fixed in this patch.
The driver was printing the entire buffer when it received a invalid
entry in image_type. The fix is to only print a warning message and not
the buffer.
Usability enhancements:
It is possible that due to user error the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu
entries might be missing, this can happen if the user does the following
echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
This will make the entries in /sys/class/firmware/ to disappear and the
only way get them back was bby unloading and loading the driver.
This patch makes the user recreate these entries by echoing init in to
image_type.
This patch has been tested with Libsmbios and Dell OpenManage.

version of this patch can be found here
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109647550421014&w=2 ).
This patch also made corresponding changes in kernel/sys.c to change the
prctl() PR_SET_DUMPABLE operation so that the permitted range of 'arg2' was
modified from 0..1 to 0..2.
However, a corresponding change was not made for PR_GET_DUMPABLE: if the
dumpable flag is non-zero, then PR_GET_DUMPABLE always returns 1, so that
the caller can't determine the true setting of this flag.
