Cong Wang b1098bbe1b bonding: remove ifenslave.c from kernel source
As Stephen proposed:
Since bonding supports configuration via iproute (netlink) and sysfs, I think
it is time to purge the old ifenslave code out of Documentation/networking
and update the documentation.

Paul Gortmaker 0ffd89e48f drivers/net: delete Digital EtherWorks-3 support.
This is another one that makes sense to target for obsolescence, since
it (a)appeared pre-1995, and (b)was rather rare, and (c)did not
really have any statistically significant active linux user base.

Removing this ISA 10Mbit driver support is unlikely to be even noticed
by the user base of 3.9+ linux kernels, especially when the documentation
clearly indicates the vintage with this text:

	 "...designed to  work with all kernels > 1.1.33"

Paul Gortmaker 1f1c7a5c1d drivers/net: delete old DEC depca ISA drivers support.
These are old ISA 10Mbit cards from the 1st 1/2 of the 1990s and
required manual jumper settings in order to configure them.  Here
we remove them on the premise that they are no longer used in any
modern 3.9+ kernels.

Paul Gortmaker 202dc3fc59 Documentation: remove obsolete networking/multicast.txt file
The original intent of this file was to list limitations in
drivers/hardware relating to multicast use, back when some
modest hardware from the early 1990s did not support things
we might take for granted today.

I was intending to delete some now-gone MCA/token ring entries
in this file, but once I opened it, I found it only contained
information on the earliest (pre-2000) linux networking drivers.

Checking the git history shows that the file hasn't been touched
since 2005.  Clearly nobody is actively consulting this file
as a meaningful reference.

Rather than add a "YES YES YES" line for all of the drivers we
currently have, lets just take advantage of the fact that nobody
is using the file to delete it.

This has the side benefit of not having to do a line-by-line
deletion of the file content as each older driver is expired.

Paul Gortmaker ee446fd5e6 tokenring: delete all remaining driver support
This represents the mass deletion of the of the tokenring support.

It gets rid of:
  - the net/tr.c which the drivers depended on
  - the drivers/net component
  - the Kbuild infrastructure around it
  - any tokenring related CONFIG_ settings in any defconfigs
  - the tokenring headers in the include/linux dir
  - the firmware associated with the tokenring drivers.
  - any associated token ring documentation.

Jesse Gross ccb1352e76 net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.
Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
environments.  In addition to supporting a variety of features
expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.
This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need
to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.

The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
forwarding.  It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.

See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
utilities.

Simon Arlott 817db5b34e USB: cxacru: remove cxacru-cf.bin loader
This has never worked properly because wsize passed to
cxacru_cm() is incorrectly set to the number of values
instead of the data bytes. The maximum number of values
that can be set at once is 7 which means the device will
not get enough data to work with and none of the
configuration values will be used.

At least one existing cxacru-cf.bin file contains invalid
data which will prevent the modem from syncing properly.

Fixing it is likely to break existing systems, and the
new sysfs interface for setting configuration parameters
can provide the same functionality. A script is provided
to convert from the original format.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
