Albert Herranz 7e937c633f b43: do not stack-allocate pio rx/tx header and tail buffers
The DMA-API debugging facility complains about b43 mapping memory from
stack for SDIO-based cards.

Indeed, b43 currently allocates the PIO RX/TX header and tail buffers
from stack. The solution here is to use heap-allocated buffers instead.

Michael Buesch b96ab540c1 b43: Always use block-I/O for the PIO data registers
On SDIO the PIO data register seems to be hardwired to LE. So
the MACCTL bit has no effect on the endianness.
So also use block-I/O for the last word of the packet. block-I/O is always LE.

This removes the PIO RX work. It's not needed anymore, because

Michael Buesch 36dbd9548e b43: Use a threaded IRQ handler
Use a threaded IRQ handler to allow locking the mutex and
sleeping while executing an interrupt.
This removes usage of the irq_lock spinlock, but introduces
a new hardirq_lock, which is _only_ used for the PCI/SSB lowlevel
hard-irq handler. Sleeping busses (SDIO) will use mutex instead.

Luis R. Rodriguez 42935ecaf4 mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueue
The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.

We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:

  * ieee80211_queue_work()
  * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()

These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.

Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

Johannes Berg e6a9854b05 mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API
So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how
convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for
everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now
taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control,
most drivers don't support that though.

Johannes Berg e039fa4a41 mac80211: move TX info into skb->cb
This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit
information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra
memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit,
a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
is kept outside of the union.

A number of fixes were done by Ivo, as well as the rt2x00 part
of this patch.

Michael Buesch d8c17e1597 b43: Use SSB block-I/O to do PIO
This changes the b43-PIO code to use the new SSB block-I/O.
This reduces the overhead by removing lots of function calls, pointer
dereferencing, if-conditionals any byteswapping for each packet data word.

This also fixes a harmless sparse endianness warning.

Michael Buesch 5100d5ac81 b43: Add PIO support for PCMCIA devices
This adds PIO support back (D'oh!) for PCMCIA devices.
This is a complete rewrite of the old PIO code. It does actually work
and we get reasonable performance out of it on a modern machine.
On a PowerBook G4 I get a few MBit for TX and a few more for RX.
So it doesn't work as well as DMA (of course), but it's a _lot_ faster
than the old PIO code (only got a few kBit with that).

The limiting factor is the host CPU speed. So it will generate 100%
CPU usage when the network interface is heavily loaded. A voluntary preemption
point in the RX path makes sure Desktop Latency isn't hurt.

PIO is needed for 16bit PCMCIA devices, as we really don't want to poke with
the braindead DMA mechanisms on PCMCIA sockets. Additionally, not all
PCMCIA sockets do actually support DMA in 16bit mode (mine doesn't).
