If userencounter the "Fatal DMA Problem" with a BCM43XX device, and
still wish to use b43 as the driver, their only option is to rebuild
the kernel with CONFIG_B43_FORCE_PIO. This patch removes this option and
allows PIO mode to be selected with a load-time parameter for the module.
Note that the configuration variable CONFIG_B43_PIO is also removed.
Once the DMA problem with the BCM4312 devices is solved, this patch will
likely be reverted.

This adds support for Soft-MAC SDIO devices to b43.
The driver still lacks some fixes for SDIO devices, so it's currently
marked as BROKEN.

This ports the b43/legacy rfkill code to the new API offered
by cfg80211 and thus removes a lot of useless stuff.

Sourcecode files for PHY code are named by phy_XXX.{c,h}
where XXX is the PHY type.
Move the N-PHY code to match the other files.

This patch implements a dynamic "ops" based PHY API.
This is needed in order to conveniently support future PHY types
to avoid the "switch"-hell.
This patch does not change any functionality. It just moves lots
of code from one place to another and adjusts it for the changed
data structures.

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).

Remove b43 PIO support.
DMA works well on all supported devices. There's no reason to use PIO.
Additionally, new devices don't support PIO in hardware anymore.
b43 PIO support is dead and unused code.
After applying this patch please do
git rm drivers/net/wireless/b43/pio.h
git rm drivers/net/wireless/b43/pio.c
to remove the main PIO support code.
