This is an updated version of the RFC3465 ABC patch originally
for Linux 2.6.11-rc4 by Yee-Ting Li. ABC is a way of counting
bytes ack'd rather than packets when updating congestion control.
The orignal ABC described in the RFC applied to a Reno style
algorithm. For advanced congestion control there is little
change after leaving slow start.

Patch indents dmfe.txt to look like other docs. It adds a tip about CNET
cards using Davicom chipsets. Also it removes parts where it refers to how
to build driver out-of-kernel which seems to be cruft from times where the
driver was out of the kernel.

The performance recommendations in cxgb.txt are common to all fast devices,
and should be in one file rather than just for this device. I would rather
see ip-sysctl.txt updated or a new file on tuning recommendations started.
Some of them have consequences that aren't documented well.
For example, turning off TCP timestamps risks data corruption from sequence wrap.
A new driver shouldn't need so may #ifdef's unless you want to putit on older
vendor versions of 2.4
Some accessor and wrapper functions like:
t1_pci_read_config_4
adapter_name
t1_malloc
are just annoying noise.
Why have useless dead code like:
/* Interrupt handler */
+static int pm3393_interrupt_handler(struct cmac *cmac)
+{
+ u32 master_intr_status;
+/*
+ 1. Read master interrupt register.
+ 2. Read BLOCK's interrupt status registers.
+ 3. Handle BLOCK interrupts.
+*/

step 1: kill all the OS wrappers.
And do you really need hooks for multiple MACs, when only one MAC is
really supported? Typically these hooks are at a higher level anyway --
struct net_device.

- removed system specific and other wrappers (usleep, msleep)
- removed dead code
- dropped redundant casts in osdep.h
- dropped redundant check of kfree
- dropped weird code (MODVERSIONS stuff)
- reduced number of #ifdefs
- use kcalloc now instead of kmalloc

The options FMV18X and SK_G16 do depend on the non-available
CONFIG_OBSOLETE even in kernel 2.4 - IOW, the last time it was able to
select them was in kernel 2.2 (or even before).
Since it seems noone misses these drivers, this patch removes them.

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!
