Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

Conflicts:
	Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt
	drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_cmn.c

Both conflicts were simply overlapping context.

A build fix for qlcnic is in here too, simply removing the added
devinit annotations which no longer exist.

+ * rpc_free_task - release rpc task and perform cleanups
+ *
+ * Note that we free up the rpc_task _after_ rpc_release_calldata()
+ * in order to work around a workqueue dependency issue.
+ *
+ * Tejun Heo states:
+ * "Workqueue currently considers two work items to be the same if they're
+ * on the same address and won't execute them concurrently - ie. it
+ * makes a work item which is queued again while being executed wait
+ * for the previous execution to complete.
+ *
+ * If a work function frees the work item, and then waits for an event
+ * which should be performed by another work item and *that* work item
+ * recycles the freed work item, it can create a false dependency loop.
+ * There really is no reliable way to detect this short of verifying
+ * every memory free."
