This will update the following files:

	Documentation/networking/ifenslave.c
	drivers/net/bonding/bonding.h
	drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c
	drivers/net/net_init.c
	include/linux/list.h
	include/linux/netdevice.h

Description:
patch 1 - Add list_for_each_entry_safe()
patch 2 - Export alloc_netdev()
patch 3 - Fix /proc read function
patch 4 - Put the bond's net_device_stats inside the bond struct

This patch was supposed to put some order into a bunch of bug fix 
patches that went in without going through an official maintainer. I 
was afraid they're going to get lost, so I stuck the above into a 
patch. One of those patches fixed compilation problems on ia64 
architecture, but caused problems in a Red Hat release instead.
Since I didn't see a separate patch for that, I thought I'll put it 
here too. Didn't think it'll cause problems as it was a one-liner.
I'll learn eventually :).
