Subject: [stable] Please apply ucc_geth patches to 2.6.32-stable

The following three patches fix some serious flaws in the ucc_geth
network driver in 2.6.32. From oldest to newest:

7583605b6d29f1f7f6fc505b883328089f3485ad ucc_geth: Fix empty TX queue processing
08b5e1c91ce95793c59a59529a362a1bcc81faae ucc_geth: Fix netdev watchdog triggering on link changes
34692421bc7d6145ef383b014860f4fde10b7505 ucc_geth: Fix full TX queue processing

They apply cleanly on top of 2.6.32-stable master. They were also
originally Cc'd to be included in 2.6.32-stable.

You forgot to CC [email protected], netdev, and the original author of
those patches.

Wierd that our script didn't pick these up, sorry about that. Now
applied.
