Chris Novakovic de1fa15b66 ipconfig: BOOTP: Request CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX name servers
When ipconfig is autoconfigured via BOOTP, the request packet
initialised by ic_bootp_init_ext() always allocates 8 bytes for the name
server option, limiting the BOOTP server to responding with at most 2
name servers even though ipconfig in fact supports an arbitrary number
of name servers (as defined by CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX, which is currently
3).

Only request name servers in the request packet if CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX
is positive (to comply with [1, §3.8]), and allocate enough space in the
packet for CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX name servers to indicate the maximum
number we can accept in response.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
