[PATCH] HDLC update
This updates generic HDLC from 1.14 to 1.15. - fix a kernel panic caused by a recent change to unregister_netdevice() (struct net_device * can't be kfreed before rtnl_unlock()) - adds carrier_* support - hw drivers report DCD status and higher level protocols use that info, and do netif_carrier_{on,off}() according to DCD and (Cisco and FR) link management status. - moves Frame-Relay constants etc. from include/linux/hdlc.h to hdlc_fr.c. They are internal FR things and are not needed in the global header. - protocol hooks are slighty changed to allow zeroing (memset). - removes CONFIG_HDLC_DEBUG_* variables. Users tend to make very wrong use of them. Now setting them requires changing .c #define. Anyway they are development-only things. - misc style corrections etc.
