This enables developing code that uses SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE
by using localhost addresses (without needing to send packets outside),
as well as enabling unit and functional testing of TX timestamping code
without needing hardware support or network access.
It also fulfills the expectation of software network devices supporting
software-based timestamping.
Tested on qemu using txtimestamping.c from the kernel selftests, and
ethtool -T.

The idea for this was born when testing VF support in iproute2 which was
impeded by hardware requirements. In fact, not every VF-capable hardware
driver implements all netdev ops, so testing the interface is still hard
to do even with a well-sorted hardware shelf.
To overcome this and allow for testing the user-kernel interface, this
patch allows to turn dummy into a PF with a configurable amount of VFs.
Since my patch series 'bus-agnostic-num-vf' has been accepted,
implementing the required interfaces is pretty straightforward: Iff
'num_vfs' module parameter was given a value >0, a dummy bus type is
being registered which implements the 'num_vf()' callback. Additionally,
a dummy parent device common to all dummy devices is registered which
sits on the above dummy bus.

The network device operation for reading statistics is only called
in one place, and it ignores the return value. Having a structure
return value is potentially confusing because some future driver could
incorrectly assume that the return value was used.
Fix all drivers with ndo_get_stats64 to have a void function.

Replace the bh safe variant with the hard irq safe variant.
We need a hard irq safe variant to deal with netpoll transmitting
packets from hard irq context, and we need it in most if not all of
the places using the bh safe variant.
Except on 32bit uni-processor the code is exactly the same so don't
bother with a bh variant, just have a hard irq safe variant that
everyone can use.

In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we
must explicitly initialize any locks.
The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need
to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize
the structure.
This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code
to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes
this worth while.
Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the
changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some
separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various
maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with
the seqcount lockdep enablement.
Feedback would be appreciated!

Fix race condition in several network drivers when reading stats on 32bit
UP architectures. These drivers update their stats in a BH context and
therefore should use u64_stats_fetch_begin_bh/u64_stats_fetch_retry_bh
instead of u64_stats_fetch_begin/u64_stats_fetch_retry when reading the
stats.

In register_netdevice(), when ndo_init() is successful and later
some error occurred, ndo_uninit() will be called.
So dummy deivce is desirable to implement ndo_uninit() method
to free percpu stats for this case.
And, ndo_uninit() is also called along with dev->destructor() when
device is unregistered, so in order to prevent dev->dstats from
being freed twice, dev->destructor is modified to free_netdev().

Only distinct use is checking if NETIF_F_NOCACHE_COPY should be
enabled by default. The check heuristics is altered a bit here,
so it hits other people than before. The default shouldn't be
trusted for performance-critical cases anyway.
For all other uses NETIF_F_NO_CSUM is equivalent to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

All drivers need to unregister their devices in the module unload function.
While doing so they must hold the rtnl and atomically unregister the
rtnl_link ops as well. This makes the rtnl_link_unregister function that
takes the rtnl itself completely useless.
Provide default newlink/dellink functions, make __rtnl_link_unregister and
rtnl_link_unregister unregister all devices with matching rtnl_link_ops and
change the existing users to take advantage of that.

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!
