Analyze and fix the following issue in the Linux kernel code: [NET] fib_rules: Flush route cache after rule modifications
Problem Details: The results of FIB rules lookups are cached in the routing cache except for IPv6 as no such cache exists. So far, it was the responsibility of the user to flush the cache after modifying any rules. This lead to many false bug reports due to misunderstanding of this concept. This patch automatically fl...

Analyze and fix the following issue in the Linux kernel code: [SUNQE]: Fix MAC address assignment.
Problem Details: The MAC address assignment at module loading is simply forgotten. The bug at module unloading is caused by an incorrect call. The bug at module unloading does not only happen for sunqe, sunlance and sunhme (sbus) suffer from it too. I've tested this on my SS20. Signed-off-by: Marcel van Nies <morcle...

Problem Details: This implies that REGGET gets a new parameter "var" to allow to hold the actual register value in a variable.
