Some network drivers call netif_stop_queue() when detecting loss of
carrier. This leads to packets being queued up at the qdisc level for
an unbound period of time. In order to prevent this effect, the core
networking stack will now cease to queue packets for any device, that
is operationally down (i.e. the queue is flushed and disabled).

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!
