2009-09-02[IA64] fix csum_ipv6_magic()Jiri Bohac
The 32-bit parameters (len and csum) of csum_ipv6_magic() are passed in 64-bit registers in2 and in4. The high order 32 bits of the registers were never cleared, and garbage was sometimes calculated into the checksum. Fix this by clearing the high order 32 bits of these registers.

2006-12-07[IA64] tidy up return value of ip_fast_csumChen, Kenneth W
While working on implementing csum_ipv6_magic, I noticed that current version of ip_fast_csum will potentially return bits above "unsigned short" as 1. While no harm is done right now because all call sites will chop off the upper bits when it uses the return value. However, this is still dangerous and buggy. Here is a patch to enforce that the function really returns unsigned short in the native register format. The fix is free as there are plenty open slot to add one more asm instruction.

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!
