Hi Andrew, Jeff,
Under some strange circumstances the iseries_veth driver can leak skbs.
Fix is simply to call dev_kfree_skb() in the right place.
Fix up the comment as well.

Hi Andrew, Jeff,
The iseries_veth driver doesn't set dev->trans_start in it's TX path. This
will cause the net device watchdog timer to fire earlier than we want it to,
which causes the driver to needlessly reset its connections to other LPARs.

Hi Andrew, Jeff,
The iseries_veth driver has a logic bug which means it will erroneously
send packets to LPARs for which we don't have a connection.
This usually isn't a big problem because the Hypervisor call fails
gracefully and we return, but if packets are TX'ed during the negotiation
of the connection bad things might happen.
Regardless, the right thing is to bail early if we know there's no
connection.

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!
