  [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_tcp: fix connection reopening
  [QETH]: fix qeth_main.c
  [NETLINK]: fib_frontend build fixes

  [9P]: build fix with !CONFIG_SYSCTL
  [NET]: Fix dev_put() and dev_hold() comments
  [NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchronious
  [NET]: unify netlink kernel socket recognition
  [NET]: cleanup 3rd argument in netlink_sendskb
  ...

Fix up conflicts manually in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
and my new least favourite crap, the "mod_devicetable" support in the
files include/linux/mod_devicetable.h and scripts/mod/file2alias.c.

(The latter files seem to be explicitly _designed_ to get conflicts when
different subsystems work with them - that have an absolutely horrid
lack of subsystem separation!)

What:	shaper network driver

When:	January 2008

Files:	drivers/net/shaper.c, include/linux/if_shaper.h

Why:	This driver has been marked obsolete for many years.

	It was only designed to work on lower speed links and has design

	flaws that lead to machine crashes. The qdisc infrastructure in

	2.4 or later kernels, provides richer features and is more robust.

DCCP does not travel through NAT successfully at present on many boxes. This is

because the checksum covers the psuedo-header as per TCP and UDP. Linux NAT
