Mark Wagner reported OOM symptoms when sending UDP traffic over
a macvtap link to a kvm receiver.
This appears to be caused by the fact that macvtap packet queues
are unlimited in length. This means that if the receiver can't
keep up with the rate of flow, then we will hit OOM. Of course
it gets worse if the OOM killer then decides to kill the receiver.
This patch imposes a cap on the packet queue length, in the same
way as the tuntap driver, using the device TX queue length.
Please note that macvtap currently has no way of giving congestion
notification, that means the software device TX queue cannot be
used and packets will always be dropped once the macvtap driver
queue fills up.
This shouldn't be a great problem for the scenario where macvtap
is used to feed a kvm receiver, as the traffic is most likely
external in origin so congestion notification can't be applied
anyway.
Of course, if anybody decides to complain about guest-to-guest
UDP packet loss down the track, then we may have to revisit this.
Incidentally, this patch also fixes a real memory leak when
macvtap_get_queue fails.
Chris Wright noticed that for this patch to work, we need a
non-zero TX queue length. This patch includes his work to change
the default macvtap TX queue length to 500.

protocol drivers such as BT, FM and GPS when registering
to ST now provide their own private data which they expect
when their functions namely registration completed & receive
are called.
Also upon tty_close, set protos_registered count to 0, although
all protocols are marked un-registered.

We need to add one to the strlen() return because of the NULL
character. The type->name here generally comes from the kernel and I
don't think any of them come close to being MAX_TRACER_SIZE (100)
characters long so this is basically a cleanup.

I found this issue in a locally patched 2.6.32.x, current kernels have
moved the offending code to an __init function which is skipped by
recordmcount.pl, so the bug is not currently being exercised.
However, I think the patch is still a good idea, to avoid future
problems if _mcount were to ever have its address taken in normal
code.
This is what I originally saw:
Although arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c is built without -pg, and thus
contains no calls to _mcount, it does use the address of _mcount
in ftrace_make_nop(). This was causing relocations to be emitted
for _mcount which recordmcount.pl erronously took to be _mcount
call sites. The result was that the text of ftrace_make_nop()
would be patched with garbage leading to a system crash.
In non-module code, all _mcount call sites will have R_MIPS_26
relocations, so we restrict $mcount_regex to only match on these.
