Maintaining a modular IPv6 stack offers image size savings for specific
setups, this benefit is outweighed by the architectural burden it
imposes on the subsystems on implementation and maintenance. Therefore,
drop it.

Change CONFIG_IPV6 from tristate to bool. Remove all Kconfig
dependencies across the tree that explicitly checked for IPV6=m. In
addition, remove MODULE_DESCRIPTION(), MODULE_ALIAS(), MODULE_AUTHOR()
and MODULE_LICENSE().

This is also replacing module_init() by device_initcall(). It is not
possible to use fs_initcall() as IPv4 does because that creates a race
condition on IPv6 addrconf.

Finally, modify the default configs from CONFIG_IPV6=m to CONFIG_IPV6=y
except for m68k as according to the bloat-o-meter the image is
increasing by 330KB~ and that isn't acceptable. Instead, disable IPv6 on
this architecture by default. This is aligned with m68k RAM requirements
and recommendations [1].

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

<title>PCI: Add CONFIG_MMU dependency</title>

It turns out that there are no platforms that have PCI but don't have an
MMU, so adding a Kconfig dependency on CONFIG_PCI simplifies build testing
kernels for those platforms a lot, and avoids a lot of inadvertent build
regressions.

Add a dependency for CONFIG_PCI and remove all the ones for PCI specific
device drivers that are currently marked not having it.

There are a few platforms that have an optional MMU, but they usually
cannot have PCI at all. The one exception is Coldfire MCF54xx, but this is
mainly for historic reasons, and anyone using those chips should really use
the MMU these days.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

Use the proper API instead of open coding it.

However it looks like bnx2i_percpu_io_thread() kthread could be replaced by
the use of a high prio workqueue instead.

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().
No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.

When the system is shutting down, iscsid is not running so we will not get
a response to the ISCSI_ERR_INVALID_HOST error event. The system shutdown
will then hang waiting on userspace to remove the session.

This has libiscsi force the destruction of the session from the kernel when
iscsi_host_remove() is called from a driver's shutdown callout.

This fixes a regression added in qedi boot with commit d1f2ce77638d ("scsi:
qedi: Fix host removal with running sessions") which made qedi use the
common session removal function that waits on userspace instead of rolling
its own kernel based removal.
