Todays net-2.6 update

From: David S. Miller <hidden>
Date: 2004-08-20 21:54:54

At the usual spots:

	bk://kernel.bkbits.net/davem/net-2.6
	ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/davem/net-2.6.9-4.gz

And relative diff attached.  This one is a little large.

Main things:

1) inetdev RCU locking

2) Kill IP_ROUTE_NAT code.  It's been broken from mid-2.5.x
   and if someone is interested in making it work again
   they can easily resurrect the code.

3) Enhanced net_random() from Stephen Hemminger.

4) Several routing and device handling fixes in ipv6
   from Yoshifuji-san.

Enjoy.

Dave, thanks for the patch, it will help us to test
latest code. I have a request though - we're trying to
stretch limited resources, and there are lot of trees
to test amongst a small pool of hardware. Would it be
possible to have your tree get sucked into Andrew's
-mm tree so we could whack at both in one swoop?

thanks,
Nivedita

Not useful, when Linus is around my tree goes to his usually
within 24 hours.  The only reason I was doing these patches
was because Linus was on vacation for a week.  I'm not going
to do them anymore, and just push to Linus daily or bi-aily.

That way my work will end up in the -mm tree automagically
as Andrew syncs up with Linus.
