dccp: Allow to distinguish original and retransmitted packets
This patch allows the sender to distinguish original and retransmitted packets,
which is in particular needed for the retransmission of DCCP-Requests:
* the first Request uses ISS (generated in net/dccp/ip*.c), and sets GSS = ISS;
* all retransmitted Requests use GSS' = GSS + 1, so that the n-th retransmitted
Request has sequence number ISS + n (mod 48).
To add generic support, the patch reorganises existing code so that:
* icsk_retransmits == 0 for the original packet and
* icsk_retransmits = n > 0 for the n-th retransmitted packet
at the time dccp_transmit_skb() is called, via dccp_retransmit_skb().
Thanks to Wei Yongjun for pointing this problem out.
Further changes:
----------------
* removed the `skb' argument from dccp_retransmit_skb(), since sk_send_head
is used for all retransmissions (the exception is client-Acks in PARTOPEN
state, but these do not use sk_send_head);
* since sk_send_head always contains the original skb (via dccp_entail()),
skb_cloned() never evaluated to true and thus pskb_copy() was never used.

Oprofile Multiplexing Patch
This patch introduces multiplexing support for the Oprofile kernel
module. It basically adds a new function pointer in oprofile_operator
allowing each architecture to supply its callback to switch between
different sets of event when the timer expires. Userspace tools can
modify the time slice through /dev/oprofile/time_slice.
It also modifies the number of counters exposed to the userspace through
/dev/oprofile. For example, the number of counters for AMD CPUs are
changed to 32 and multiplexed in the sets of 4.

spi: split up spi_new_device() to allow two stage registration.
spi_new_device() allocates and registers an spi device all in one swoop.
If the driver needs to add extra data to the spi_device before it is
registered, then this causes problems. This is needed for OF device
tree support so that the SPI device tree helper can add a pointer to
the device node after the device is allocated, but before the device
is registered. OF aware SPI devices can then retrieve data out of the
device node to populate a platform data structure.
This patch splits the allocation and registration portions of code out
of spi_new_device() and creates two new functions; spi_alloc_device()
and spi_register_device(). spi_new_device() is modified to use the new
functions for allocation and registration. None of the existing users
of spi_new_device() should be affected by this change.
Drivers using the new API can forego the use of spi_board_info
structure to describe the device layout and populate data into the
spi_device structure directly.

the e752x edac driver (and probably others as well).
In addition Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> has pointed out that this code may be
cleaned up significantly. I will look at that as a follow-on patch, for
now, I just want the minimum fix to get this double-free oops bug
squashed...
Many thanks to Greg KH for his patience in showing me what the
Documentation/kobject.txt already said (oops)...
