Currently, incoming packets are reassembled in a sk_buff which is then
sent to the upper layers.  The sk_buff needs to be big enough to hold the
worst case packet since the size cannot be known in advance.  This would
not be so bad if the ATM layer paid attention to the mtu (usually 1500 bytes),
but for some reason it blithely ignores it and typically passes 9188 bytes
as the maximum size.  This means that at best 5/6 of the space in every
sk_buff is wasted.  So instead let's just allocate an assembly buffer (sarb)
which gets reused for every packet, and copy each assembled packet into
a minimally sized sk_buff before sending.

Reduce constant string space by reusing __FILE__

I saw that you also reported problems with USB/uhci-hcd on your systems. Can you test
the following patch and see if it works now?

This patch for 2.6 fixes freecom.c -- an error in return-code
interpretation was introduced somewhere during 2.5.

This also adds a few more checks to try to catch commands that appear to
want to move data, but of length 0.  This is likely a bug in some higher
layer -- I'll bring it up on linux-scsi.

The patch below adds the ebt_limit match, which is the equivalent of
the iptables limit match. This enables limiting the number of frames
processed per time unit.

The patch is from Tom Marshall <tommy_at_home.tig-grr.com>.

Parts of this come from a janitor named Domen, unfortunately,
I forgot his e-mail... Anyhow, it's obvious that janitors
did not try to compile result of their efforts, this version
at least builds.

Blind strncpy()->strlcpy() conversion in 2.5.70
made it impossible to change any setting, revert it.

Finally admit defeat and change the maintainers entry for 8250/16x50
serial.

This removes "do_machine_check()" in favour of just calling the
appropriate machine check handler directly from the lowlevel exception
code.

Removed doubled header file includes.
Removed includes of version.h.
Removed the use of __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__
