Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
1) If the user gives us a msg_namelen of 0, don't try to interpret
anything pointed to by msg_name. From Ani Sinha.
2) Fix some bnx2i/bnx2fc randconfig compilation errors.
The gist of the issue is that we firstly have drivers that span both
SCSI and networking. And at the top of that chain of dependencies
we have things like SCSI_FC_ATTRS and SCSI_NETLINK which are
selected.
But since select is a sledgehammer and ignores dependencies,
everything to select's SCSI_FC_ATTRS and/or SCSI_NETLINK has to also
explicitly select their dependencies and so on and so forth.
Generally speaking 'select' is supposed to only be used for child
nodes, those which have no dependencies of their own. And this
whole chain of dependencies in the scsi layer violates that rather
strongly.
So just make SCSI_NETLINK depend upon it's dependencies, and so on
and so f...
