- Each tunnel and appropriate lock are inside own namespace now.
- pppox code allows to create per-namespace sockets for
both PX_PROTO_OE and PX_PROTO_OL2TP protocols. Actually since
now pppox_create support net-namespaces new PPPo... protocols
(if they ever will be) should support net-namespace too otherwise
explicit check for &init_net would be needed.

- each net-namespace for pppoe module is having own
hash table and appropriate locks wich are allocated
at time of namespace intialization. It requires about
140 bytes of memory for every new namespace but such
approach allow us to escape from hash chains growing
and additional lock contends (especially in SMP environment).
- pppox code allows to create per-namespace sockets for
PX_PROTO_OE protocol only (since at this moment support
for pppol2tp net-namespace is not implemented yet).

Straight forward conversions to CONFIG_MODULE; many drivers
include <linux/kmod.h> conditionally and then don't have any
other conditional code so remove it from those.

This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting. By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched. In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.
Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.
Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

here another patch for the PPPoX/E code that makes sure that ENOTTY is
returned for unknown ioctl requests rather than 0 (and removes another
unneeded initializer which I didn't bother creating a separate patch for).

below you find a patch that fixes a memory leak when a PPPoE socket is
release()d after it has been connect()ed, but before the PPPIOCGCHAN ioctl
ever has been called on it.
This is somewhat of a security problem, too, since PPPoE sockets can be
created by any user, so any user can easily allocate all the machine's
RAM to non-swappable address space and thus DoS the system.
Is there any specific reason for PPPoE sockets being available to any
unprivileged process, BTW? After all, you need a packet socket for the
discovery stage anyway, so it's unlikely that any unprivileged process
will ever need to create a PPPoE socket, no? Allocating all session IDs
for a known AC is a kind of DoS, too, after all - with Juniper ERXes,
this is really easy, actually, since they don't ever assign session ids
above 8000 ...

And actually, with this, the whole pppox layer can basically
be removed and subsumed into pppoe.c, no other pppox sub-protocol
implementation exists and we've had this thing for at least 4

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!
