drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO

This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.

However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.

No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

Conflicts:
drivers/net/vxlan.c
drivers/vhost/net.c
include/linux/if_vlan.h
net/core/dev.c

The net/core/dev.c conflict was the overlap of one commit marking an
existing function static whilst another was adding a new function.

In the include/linux/if_vlan.h case, the type used for a local
variable was changed in 'net', whereas the function got rewritten
to fix a stacked vlan bug in 'net-next'.

In drivers/vhost/net.c, Al Viro's iov_iter conversions in 'net-next'
overlapped with an endainness fix for VHOST 1.0 in 'net'.

In drivers/net/vxlan.c, vxlan_find_vni() added a 'flags' parameter
in 'net-next' whereas in 'net' there was a bug fix to pass in the
correct network namespace pointer in calls to this function.

MMerge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

1) Stretch ACKs can kill performance with Reno and CUBIC congestion
control, largely due to LRO and GRO. Fix from Neal Cardwell.

2) Fix userland breakage because we accidently emit zero length netlink
messages from the bridging code. From Roopa Prabhu.

3) Carry handling in generic csum_tcpudp_nofold is broken, fix from
Karl Beldan.

4) Remove bogus dev_set_net() calls from CAIF driver, from Nicolas
Dichtel.

5) Make sure PPP deflation never returns a length greater then the
output buffer, otherwise we overflow and trigger skb_over_panic().
Fix from Florian Westphal.

6) COSA driver needs VIRT_TO_BUS Kconfig dependencies, from Arnd
Bergmann.

7) Don't increase route cached MTU on datagram too big ICMPs. From Li
Wei.

8) Fix error path leaks in nf_tables, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.

9) Fix bitmask handling regression in netlink that broke things like
acpi userland tools. From Pablo Neira Ayuso.

10) Wrong header pointer passed to param_type2af() in SCTP code, from
Saran Maruti Ramanara.

11) Stacked vlans not handled correctly by vlan_get_protocol(), from
Toshiaki Makita.

12) Add missing DMA memory barrier to xgene driver, from Iyappan
Subramanian.

13) Fix crash in rate estimators, from Eric Dumazet.

14) We've been adding various workarounds, one after another, for the
change which added the per-net tcp_sock. It was meant to reduce
socket contention but added lots of problems.

Reduce this instead to a proper per-cpu socket and that rids us of
all the daemons.

From Eric Dumazet.

15) Fix memory corruption and OOPS in mlx4 driver, from Jack
Morgenstein.

16) When we disabled UFO in the virtio_net device, it introduces some
serious performance regressions. The orignal problem was IPV6
fragment ID generation, so fix that properly instead. From Vlad
Yasevich.

17) sr9700 driver build breaks on xtensa because it defines macros with
the same name as those used by the arch code. Use more unique
names. From Chen Gang.

18) Fix endianness in new virio 1.0 mode of the vhost net driver, from
Michael S Tsirkin.

19) Several sysctls were setting the maxlen attribute incorrectly, from
Sasha Levin.

20) Don't accept an FQ scheduler quantum of zero, that leads to crashes.
From Kenneth Klette Jonassen.

classifier. From Ignacy Gawędzki.

Merge branch 'arm-build-fixes'

Arnd Bergmann says:

====================
net: driver fixes from arm randconfig builds

These four patches are fallout from test builds on ARM. I have a
few more of them in my backlog but have not yet confirmed them
to still be valid.

The first three patches are about incomplete dependencies on
old drivers. One could backport them to the beginning of time
in theory, but there is little value since nobody would run into
these problems.

The final patch is one I had submitted before together with the
respective pcmcia patch but forgot to follow up on that. It's
still a valid but relatively theoretical bug, because the previous
behavior of the driver was just as broken as what we have in
mainline.

net: cs89x0: always build platform code if !HAS_IOPORT_MAP

net: cs89x0: always build platform code if !HAS_IOPORT_MAP

The cs89x0 driver can either be built as an ISA driver or a platform
driver, the choice is controlled by the CS89x0_PLATFORM Kconfig
symbol. Building the ISA driver on a system that does not have
a way to map I/O ports fails with this error:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `cs89x0_ioport_probe.constprop.1':
:(.init.text+0x4794): undefined reference to `ioport_map'
:(.init.text+0x4830): undefined reference to `ioport_unmap'

This changes the Kconfig logic to take that option away and
always force building the platform variant of this driver if
CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT_MAP is not set. This is the only correct
choice in this case, and it avoids the build error.
