This patch enables building of individual WAN protocol support
routines (parts of generic HDLC) as separate modules.
All protocol-private definitions are moved from hdlc.h file
to protocol drivers. User-space interface and interface
between generic HDLC and underlying low-level HDLC drivers
are unchanged.

This patch converts generic HDLC (and WAN drivers using it) from
hdlc_set_carrier() to netif_dormant*() interface.
WAN hardware drivers should now use netif_carrier_on|off() like
other network drivers.

David Boggs noticed that register_hdlc_device() no longer needs
to call dev_alloc_name() as it's called by register_netdev().
register_hdlc_device() is currently equivalent to register_netdev().
hdlc_setup() is now EXPORTed as per David's request.

As we are currently unable to fix the problem with carrier and protocol
state signaling in net core I've to disable netif_carrier_off()
calls used by WAN protocol drivers. The attached patch should make
them working again.
The remaining netif_carrier_*() calls in hdlc_fr.c are fine as they
don't touch the physical device.

Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond()
decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original
device into packet_type->func() as an argument.
It remains to be seen whether we can use this same
exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well.

The attached patch updates generic HDLC to version 1.18.
FR Cisco LMI production-tested. Please apply to Linux 2.6. Thanks.
Changes:
- doc updates
- added Cisco LMI support to Frame-Relay code
- cleaned hdlc_fr.c a bit, removed some orphaned #defines etc.
- fixed a problem with non-functional LMI in FR DCE mode.
- changed diagnostic messages to better conform to FR standards
- all protocols: information about carrier changes (DCD line) is now
printed to kernel logs.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
