Precise SRU, [PATCH 0/12] CONFIG_DSA=m, 12 patches

Sometimes I hate git send-email.

http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1004148

The DSA transport is experimental. By policy it should not be built-in. 
The dependent hardware modules in drivers/net/dsa will load the 
transport as a result of udev probing. Finally, this is pretty esoteric 
and rare hardware, so is unlikely to cause any issues with a normal 
desktop or server.

Seems like the only real risk of regression outside of the driver itself
would be build problems, but I'm assuming you've already tested for
those. It's definitely better to have experimental code in a module, so
this seems worthwhile.

Seems there were a lot of shuffling in configs because of highbank where
CONFIG_PHYLIB turned to m. Perhaps it could be turned to y (if possible
and makes sense) as well to avoid other configs growing, but that is
just an observation. Ack on the patches.
