Either first 3 bytes of the first received tcp segment or last one
over MTU size file can be loss due to the byte alignment problem.
Although ATH6KL_HTC_ALIGN_BYTES was defined for 'extra bytes for htc header
alignment' in the patch "Fix buffer alignment for scatter-gather
I/O"(1df94a857), there exists the bytes loss issue which means that it will be
truncated 3 bytes in the transmitted file contents if a file which has over MTU
size is transferred through TCP/IP stack. It doesn't look like TCP/IP stack
bug of 3.5 or the latest version of kernel but the byte alignment issue. This
patch is to use the roundup() function for the byte alignment rather than the
predefined ATH6KL_HTC_ALIGN_BYTES.

Now all log messages are sent through the tracing infrastruture as well.
Tracing point doesn't follow debug_mask module parameter, instead it sends
all debug messages, so once you enable ath6kl_log_dbg tracing point you will
get a lot of messages. Needs to be discussed if this is sensible or not.
The overhead should be small enough and we anyway include debug level as
well so it's easy to filter in user space.
I wasn't really sure what to do with ath6kl_dbg_dump() and for now decided
that it also sends the buffer to user space. But most likely in the future
ath6kl_dbg_dump() should go away in favor of using proper tracing points, but
we will see.

Commit 1d9d8639c0 ("perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after
suspend/resume") fixed a crash when doing PEBS performance profiling
after resuming, but in using init_debug_store_on_cpu() to restore the
DS_AREA mtrr it also resulted in a new WARN_ON() triggering.
init_debug_store_on_cpu() uses "wrmsr_on_cpu()", which in turn uses CPU
cross-calls to do the MSR update. Which is not really valid at the
early resume stage, and the warning is quite reasonable. Now, it all
happens to _work_, for the simple reason that smp_call_function_single()
ends up just doing the call directly on the CPU when the CPU number
matches, but we really should just do the wrmsr() directly instead.
This duplicates the wrmsr() logic, but hopefully we can just remove the
wrmsr_on_cpu() version eventually.

Commit fae50823d0 ("net: ethernet: davinci_cpdma: Add boundary for rx

to stop the netqork queue on the adapter in case there are no free

However, cpdma_check_free_tx_desc() returns 'true' if there is room in
the bitmap, not 'false', so the usage of the function is wrong.

commit bd329e1 ("net: cdc_ncm: do not bind to NCM compatible MBIM devices")
introduced a new policy, preferring MBIM for dual NCM/MBIM functions if
the cdc_mbim driver was enabled. This caused a regression for users
wanting to use NCM.
Devices implementing NCM backwards compatibility according to section
3.2 of the MBIM v1.0 specification allow either NCM or MBIM on a single
USB function, using different altsettings. The cdc_ncm and cdc_mbim
drivers will both probe such functions, and must agree on a common
policy for selecting either MBIM or NCM. Until now, this policy has
been set at build time based on CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_MBIM.
Use a module parameter to set the system policy at runtime, allowing the
user to prefer NCM on systems with the cdc_mbim driver.
