cover rcu_barrier: Resubmitting the the networking bits
This patchset is a resubmit of the network related part of a patchseries titled "We must use rcu_barrier() on module unload". Just to make it easier for DaveM to pick it up.
If an unloadable module uses RCU callbacks, it need to use rcu_barrier() so that the module may be safely unloaded.

Patchset is made on top of Linus'es tree, 4075ea8c54a7506844a69f674990241e7766357b. But I have testet is applies to net-next-2.6.
