Follow-up to "update write pointers for all tx queues after wakeup"; that
patch changed iwl_irq_tasklet_legacy(), but not iwl_irq_tasklet(), so
newer devices were not covered.
Comments from original patch:
Wakeup interrupt has been updating write pointers (indexes, actually) only
for tx queues 0-5. This is adequate just for 3945, but inadequate for other
devices, all of which have more tx queues. Now updating all tx/command queues,
so device can be aware of all new tx and host commands enqueued while
device was asleep.
This can potentially improve data traffic bandwidth and/or latency.

Take advantage of device's auto-increment for SRAM reads to eliminate extra
write address accesses.
Grab/release NIC access before/after entire read sequence, rather than for
each read individually.
After a quick check of dmesg logs, this seems to double Event Log dump speed,
reducing from about 20 milliseconds to about 10 milliseconds for 512 entries
using 3945.

If device provides bad values for Event Log parameters (due to being asleep
or SRAM corruption, etc.), the size can be very, very large (e.g. 0xa5a5a5a5),
which can flood system log.
Sanity-check capacity and next_entry values and limit to reasonable size dump.

Invalid configuration will cause sysassert in uCode and produce

Even it is a very small windows, but we also need to consider and handle
the case if commit_rxon occurred before the "channel switch

When I added that code setting the swq_id, I evidently
did not understand the distinction between FIFO and TX
queue yet and added code to compare a queue ID and a
FIFO number, which is bogus.
However, the code there need not be this specific, it
can just set all queues to the identity mapping which
will be overwritten by the aggregation queue code. As
a bit of defensive coding, don't assign an swq_id to
the command queue so that if we ever use it for frames
we notice quickly.

The fourth queue (command queue) is already activated in
the loop above that also maps it to the command FIFO and
therefore doesn't need to be marked as activated again.
Also change the TODO comment to be accurate -- we need
to initialise the _queues_, not FIFOs, and map them to
device FIFOs.

When 802.11g was introduced, we had RTS/CTS and CTS-to-Self protection
mechanisms. In an HT Beacon, HT stations use the "Operating Mode" field
in the HT Information Element to determine whether or not to use
protection.
The Operating Mode field has 4 possible settings: 0-3:
Mode 0: If all stations in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT capable, or if the
BSS is 20/40 MHz capable, or if all stations in the BSS are 20 MHz HT
stations in a 20 MHz BSS
Mode 1: used if there are non-HT stations or APs using the primary or
secondary channels
Mode 2: if only HT stations are associated in the BSS and at least one
20 MHz HT station is associated.
Mode 3: used if one or more non-HT stations are associated in the BSS.
When in operating modes 1 or 3, and the Use_Protection field is 1 in the
Beacon's ERP IE, all HT transmissions must be protected using RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-Self.
By default, CTS-to-self is the preferred protection mechanism for less
overhead and higher throughput; but using the full RTS/CTS will better
protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in
highly-congested environment.
For 6000 series WIFI NIC, RTS/CTS protection mechanism is the
recommended choice for HT traffic based on the HW design.

We should not zero out the multicast hash when configuring
the operating mode, since a zero value means all multicast
frames will get dropped. Also, ath5k_mode_setup() gets
called after any reset, so the hash already set up in

ops->set_tim() must be atomic, so b43 trying to acquire a mutex leads
to a kernel crash. This patch trades an easy to trigger crash in AP
mode for an unlikely race condition. According to Michael, the real
fix would be to allow set_tim() to sleep, since b43 is not the only
driver that needs to sleep in all callbacks.

Slip and a few other drivers use the same ioctl numbers on
tty devices that are normally meant for sockets. This causes
problems with our compat_ioctl handling that tries to convert
the data structures in a different format.
Fortunately, these five drivers all use 32 bit compatible
data structures in the ioctl numbers, so we can just add
a trivial compat_ioctl conversion function to each of them.
SIOCSIFENCAP and SIOCGIFENCAP do not need to live in
fs/compat_ioctl.c after this any more, and they are not
used on any sockets.
