Since hardware header operations are part of the protocol class
not the device instance, make them into a separate object and
save memory.

The set_multicast_list function may be called without holding the rtnl
mutex, resulting in races when changing the underlying device's promiscous
and allmulti state. Use the change_rx_mode hook, which is always invoked
under the rtnl.

The VLAN MAC address handling is broken in multiple ways. When the address
differs when setting it, the real device is put in promiscous mode twice,
but never taken out again. Additionally it doesn't resync when the real
device's address is changed and needlessly puts it in promiscous mode when
the vlan device is still down.
Fix by moving address handling to vlan_dev_open/vlan_dev_stop and properly
deal with address changes in the device notifier. Also switch to
dev_unicast_add (which needs the exact same handling).
Since the set_mac_address handler is identical to the generic ethernet one
with these changes, kill it and use ether_setup().

Move the device lookup and checks to the ioctl handler under the RTNL and
change all name-based interfaces to take a struct net_device * instead.
This allows to use them from a netlink interface, which identifies devices
based on ifindex not name. It also avoids races between the ioctl interface
and the (upcoming) netlink interface since now all changes happen under the
RTNL.
As a nice side effect this greatly simplifies error handling in the helper
functions and fixes a number of incorrect error codes like -EINVAL for
device not found.

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.

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!
