    After posting this mega patch I have been away for some days....

    Fortunatly Stephen already reduced the amount of work by doing the netrom
    stuff.
    The next four patches are the remaining ax25 (and a litle netrom) patches:

    ax25_cb-lock.diff

            This is the biggest one:
            - ax25_cb's use refcounting
            - the ax25_cb list uses hlists
            - Lots of socket locking.
            This patch touches almost everything in the ax25 directory.

    hard_header.diff

            Makes ax25_subr.c use the devices hard_header_len instead of
            some predicted worst case.
            (also contains a small socket locking patch)

    iface-lists.diff

            Fixes the list usage and list locking in ax25_iface.c

    netrom-refcnt.diff

            Small changes to netrom as a result of the ax25_cb refcounting.
