35f00cfcc0 rt2x00: Implement support for 802.11n
Extend rt2x00lib capabilities to support 802.11n,
it still lacks aggregation support, but that can
be added in the future.

9f1661718c rt2x00: Add support for L2 padding during TX/RX
Some hardware require L2 padding between header and payload
because both must be aligned to a 4-byte boundary. This hardware
also is easier during the RX path since we no longer need to
move the entire payload but rather only the header to remove
the padding (mac80211 only wants the payload to be 4-byte aligned).

If the IE buffer was allocated, the pub.information_elements pointer
was also changed to the allocated space. So we must not assume anymore
that the pointer points at the "found" tail.

16cf438a1e mac80211: fix probe response processing
Due to the use of a _REQ_DIRECT_PROBE bit, which is
unnecessary (and I wonder why it was done that way),
an interesting situation can arise:
 1) we try to probe an access point
 2) the AP doesn't response in time
 3) we tell userspace that we gave up
 4) the AP suddenly responds
 5) we auth/assoc with the AP

I've seen 4) happen in testing with hostapd SIGSTOPped,
and when SIGCONTinued it processes the probe requests
that came in and send responses. But 5) is not supposed
to happen after we tell everybody we've given up on the
AP.

To fix this, remove the _REQ_DIRECT_PROBE request bit,
and process probe responses when we're in the relevant
MLME state, namely IEEE80211_STA_MLME_DIRECT_PROBE.

57c4d7b4c4 mac80211: clean up beacon interval settings
We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
an AP.

This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.

NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due
      to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all
      drivers, some are updated in this patch.

f3b85252f0 mac80211: fix scan races and rework scanning
There are some places marked
	/* XXX maybe racy? */
and they really are racy because there's no locking.

This patch reworks much of the scan code, and introduces proper
locking for the scan request as well as the internal scanning
(which is necessary for IBSS/managed modes). Helper functions
are added to call the scanning code whenever necessary. The
scan deferring is changed to simply queue the scanning work
instead of trying to start the scan in place, the scanning work
will then take care of the rest.

Also, currently when internal scans are requested for an interface
that is trying to associate, we reject such scans. This was not
intended, the mlme code has provisions to scan twice when it can't
find the BSS to associate with right away; this has never worked
properly. Fix this by not rejecting internal scan requests for an
interface that is associating.

255cac91c3 tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN
This should be very safe compared with full enabled, so I see
no reason why it shouldn't be done right away. As ECN can only
be negotiated if the SYN sending party is also supporting it,
somebody in the loop probably knows what he/she is doing. If
SYN does not ask for ECN, the server side SYN-ACK is identical
to what it is without ECN. Thus it's quite safe.

The chosen value is safe w.r.t to existing configs which
choose to currently set manually either 0 or 1 but
silently upgrades those who have not explicitly requested
ECN off.

Whether to just enable both sides comes up time to time but
unless that gets done now we can at least make the servers
aware of ECN already. As there are some known problems to occur
if ECN is enabled, it's currently questionable whether there's
any real gain from enabling clients as servers mostly won't
support it anyway (so we'd hit just the negative sides). After
enabling the servers and getting that deployed, the client end
enable really has some potential gain too.

726474b8cd smsc95xx: add support for LAN9512 and LAN9514
LAN9512 and LAN9514 are USB hubs with an integrated 10/100 ethernet
controller.  Logically this looks like an ethernet controller (similar
to LAN9500) permanently attached to one of the hub's downstream ports.

This patch adds the usb device id of the new ethernet controller to the
smsc95xx driver.  This id is the same in both new devices.

f293501c61 smsc95xx: configure LED outputs
SMSC LAN9500 has dual purpose GPIO/LED pins, and by default at power-on
these are configured as GPIOs.  This means that if LEDs are fitted they
won't ever light.

This patch sets them to be LED outputs for speed, duplex and
link/activity.

2382b15bcc netconsole: take care of NETDEV_UNREGISTER event
When netconsole is loaded and a network interface fades away (e.g. on
rmmod $interface_driver_module) the rmmod remains stuck and some locks
are taken that prevent any additional module loading/unloading as well
as interface up/down changes.
In addition kernel logs (and console) get flooded at 10s interval with

[  122.464065] unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1
[  132.704059] unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1

This patch lets netconsole take NETDEV_UNREGISTER event into account
and release the affected interface if it was in use.

1aec5bdfed net: remove driver_data direct access of struct device
In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access
to the driver_data pointer in struct device.  Instead, the functions
dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used.  These functions
have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
all older kernel versions.
