[PATCH v5 00/15] some netpoll and netconsole fixes

[Cong Wang <amwang@xxxxxxxxxx>]

V5:
* Rename the local variable 'info' to 'vlan'
* add another vlan cleanup patch

V4:
* rebase against net tree
* fix a compile error in patch 9
* update patch 7 as Stephen suggested

V3:
* add more patches
* update patch 7 as David suggested

V2:
* update patch 1/8 as Eric suggested
* drop the bridge patch, add comments instead
* add patch 8/8

This patchset fixes serval problems in netconsole and netpoll.

I ran this patchset in my KVM guest with some netpoll test cases,
even covered with some corner cases, everything worked as expected.

BTW, my kernel config enables the following validatation options:

CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y
CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y
CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT=60
CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR=y
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR=y
