Force dev_alloc_name() to be called from register_netdevice() by
dev_get_valid_name(). That allows to remove multiple explicit
dev_alloc_name() calls.
The possibility to call dev_alloc_name in advance remains.
This also fixes veth creation regresion caused by

This patch is the result of an automatic spatch transformation to convert
all ndo_start_xmit() return values of 0 to NETDEV_TX_OK.
Some occurences are missed by the automatic conversion, those will be
handled in a seperate patch.

It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to
remove it. The number of people that could object because they're
maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.

Drivers need to validate the initial addresses in their netlink attribute
validation function or manually reject them if they can't support this.

All drivers need to unregister their devices in the module unload function.
While doing so they must hold the rtnl and atomically unregister the
rtnl_link ops as well. This makes the rtnl_link_unregister function that
takes the rtnl itself completely useless.
Provide default newlink/dellink functions, make __rtnl_link_unregister and
rtnl_link_unregister unregister all devices with matching rtnl_link_ops and
change the existing users to take advantage of that.

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!
