[PATCH -next 00/22] remove in-kernel syscall invocations (part 2 == netdev)

Here is another series of patches which reduce the number of syscall invocations from within the kernel. This series is focused solely on the net/ part of the kernel and get rids of syscall and compat_syscall invocations from within the kernel completely. It is also available at
