Linux 2.6.13 introduced Wireless Extension 18 with WPA support. It was
released in August 2005. People making changes to MadWifi should not be
required to be software archeologistists to test their changes.
Not using netdev_notifier_info_to_dev() gives no compile warnings but
crashes the kernel, so this patch is intentionally applied before Linux
3.10 procfs support is enabled to avoid a revision that compiles and
crashes on new kernels.
It's already defined in CentOS 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5 kernel. Use
parentheses around dev to be safer.

Use spin_lock_irqsave_nested() instead of spin_lock_irqsave(). Use a
separate counter for the locking subclass, so that we don't exceed the
maximal value of 8. We have 10 queues, but inactive queues don't get a
locking subclass number.
Provide a replacement for spin_lock_irqsave_nested() for kernels older
than 2.6.19.

Use netdev_priv() for Linux 2.4.27 and newer. Provide compatibility
wrapper for older kernels.
Imply CONFIG_KMOD for Linux 2.6.27 and newer.

Just because GFP_KERNEL is defined, it doesn't mean that gfp_t is
available. Define gfp_t as a macro instead.

Change compat.h to never use KERNEL_VERSION in userspace code. Move it
to the block only used by the kernel code. While at that, move KASSERT
to the same block.

Follow the rule of coding for the latest API. Use __skb_queue_after()
in the code rather than __skb_append(), which is due to be removed in
Linux 2.6.26. Provide compatibility definitions for __skb_queue_after()
in include/compat.h.

PCI resource addresses are 64-bit on i386 with PAE, so they won't fit
unsigned long. Provide compatibility for older kernels. Reported by
Diego Dujovne.

* Based on patches from nbd
* av_beacon_alloc code has been reimplemented using atomic bit operations; I think this is safe for SMP

IRQF_SHARED appeared in Linux 2.6.18. Define it in compat.h for older
kernels. Stop using obsolete SA_SHIRQ in if_ath_ahb.c and if_ath_pci.c
This fixes compilation of if_ath_ahb.c for Linux 2.6.22 and newer.

Linux 2.6.24 introduces a sysctl checker that disallows using arbitrary
ctl_name values for sysctl entries. The entries with non-standard
values should set ctl_name to CTL_UNNUMBERED.
On the other hand, using consistent non-zero ctl_name values is required
for older kernels (tested on Linux 2.4.33.3 from Slackware 11).
Thus the solution is to use CTL_UNNUMBERED on Linux 2.6.24+ and the
original values in the older kernels. Move CTL_AUTO and DEV_ATH to
include/compat.h and define them correspondingly.
When copying sysctl entries, check procname for being non-zero, since
ctl_name is zero (CTL_UNNUMBERED) on Linux 2.6.24 and newer.
For the same reason, don't use ctl_name to distinguish entries in
ath_sysctl_template, use extra2 instead.
