Samuel Ortiz 8ccde88a87 iwl3945: Getting rid of the *39_rxon iwl_priv fields
The iwl_rxon_cmd is really just a iwl3945_rxon_cmd structure extension.
So, we can use the *_rxon fields from iwl_priv instead of the 3945 specific
ones (*39_rxon). We have to then be careful when submitting REPLY_RXON host
commands, since the command length as to be set according to the HW. As
another precaution the reserved4 and reserved5 fields are cleared before being
sent to the 3945.

With the *39_rxon removal, a lot of duplicated code can be removed from the
3945 code base.

Samuel Ortiz d08853a399 iwlwifi: Remove IWL3945_DEBUG
IWL3945_DEBUG is pointless and obsolete. We already have an IWLWIFI_DEBUG
symbol, that needs to be set if we actually want to get 3945 debug (see
iwl-debug.h).
Thus, we can simply get rid of this symbol.

By adding an additional hw_params (tfd_size) and a new iwl_lib ops (txq_init),

We had to add a new hw_params because we need to allocate the right DMA buffer
for TFDs, and those have a different sizes depending if you're on 3945 or agn.

Helmut Schaa 2663516d8f iwl3945: report killswitch changes even if the interface is down
Currently iwl3945 is not able to report hw-killswitch events while the
interface is down. This has implications on user space tools (like
NetworkManager) relying on rfkill notifications to bring the interface
up once the wireless gets enabled through a hw killswitch.

Thus, enable the device already in iwl3945_pci_probe instead of iwl3945_up
and poll the CSR_GP_CNTRL register to update the killswitch state every
two seconds. The polling is only needed on 3945 hardware as this adapter
does not use interrupts to signal rfkill changes to the driver (in case no
firmware is loaded). The firmware loading is still done in iwl3945_up.

Samuel Ortiz d20b3c65f2 iwl3945: iwl3945_queue and iwl3945_channel_info replacement
This patch replaces the queue and channel info 3945 structures with the iwl
ones.

The initial goal was to replace the channel info structure. Once we do that,
and then include iwl-dev.h instead of iwl-3945.h, we still get build errors
due to several routines and macro redefinitions. This is why this patch also
includes:
- TFD39_MAX_PAYLOAD definition for 3945.
- CMD_SIZE, CMD_HUGE, CMD_SKB duplication removal.
- iwl3945_queue replacement in order to also get rid of the duplicated
get_cmd_index routine.

Getting rid of any of those needs the iwl-dev.h inclusion which then creates
build errors due to definitions duplication. This is why we include all those
in the same patch.

Winkler, Tomas 8d86422a83 iwlwifi: move rx queue read pointer into rxq
This patch moves rx status/read registers into
iwl_rx_queue structures. This solution is more memory
hungry but is more structured and provides needed RX/TX
separation

Johannes Berg 4018517a1a iwlagn: fix RX skb alignment
So I dug deeper into the DMA problems I had with iwlagn and a kind soul
helped me in that he said something about pci-e alignment and mentioned
the iwl_rx_allocate function to check for crossing 4KB boundaries. Since
there's 8KB A-MPDU support, crossing 4k boundaries didn't seem like
something the device would fail with, but when I looked into the
function for a minute anyway I stumbled over this little gem:

	BUG_ON(rxb->dma_addr & (~DMA_BIT_MASK(36) & 0xff));

Clearly, that is a totally bogus check, one would hope the compiler
removes it entirely. (Think about it)

After fixing it, I obviously ran into it, nothing guarantees the
alignment the way you want it,  because of the way skbs and their
headroom are allocated. I won't explain that here nor double-check that
I'm right, that goes beyond what most of the CC'ed people care about.

So then I came up with the patch below, and so far my system has
survived minutes with 64K pages, when it would previously fail in
seconds. And I haven't seen a single instance of the TX bug either. But
when you see the patch it'll be pretty obvious to you why.

This should fix the following reported kernel bugs:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11596
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11393
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11983

I haven't checked if there are any elsewhere, but I suppose RHBZ will
have a few instances too...

I'd like to ask anyone who is CC'ed (those are people I know ran into
the bug) to try this patch.

I am convinced that this patch is correct in spirit, but I haven't
understood why, for example, there are so many unmap calls. I'm not
entirely convinced that this is the only bug leading to the TX reply
errors.
