ieee80211_input can receive cloned skb from the bridge layer, and thus makes copies to modify and use. The original was being freed immediately upon copying. The problem is that when you issue ANY response other than NETDEV_TX_OK the skb is returned to the kernel queue. So, basically there were wild pointers to skb in the skb queue, and these skb were being re-used by other applications and drivers - resulting in crashes all over the place.
With this new logic, we keep the original around until we know whether or not we will requeue it NETDEV_TX_BUSY or consume it NETDEV_TX_OK and we correctly free the skb only when appropriate.
We also get rid of the net80211_input_all function which was doing a bunch of unnecessary (and broken) copies and noe updates.

When CABQ transfer finishes, HAL reports the queue as inactive. Thus, if
we switch modes or change state the CABQ can be left with some ath_buf
referenced by it. The changes in this patch cause the CABQ to be checked
at DTIM even when no multicast is pending for the VAP and if "stalled"
then the queue is drained.
A subsequent patch will fix the tx tasklet logic for CABQ.

before the allocation and initial configuration. Since there shouldn't be any dturbo switches at this point, some null checks prevent the problem. I'm not sure where the code should be moved to, but probably further down in the function.

* Updated register dump based on ath5k database (refresh the list)
* Added a generic debug iwpriv delegation method to if_ath
* Added some functions to help diagnose lost ath_buf pointers
[resultant fixes will be checked in subsequent commits]

The convention for this function ieee80211_pwrsave is to consume the SKB and either
queue it or free it. Also switch some SKB_CB(...)->ni to SKB_NI(...)

1) Move all debug preprocessor flags out into make files
2) Add support for remaining preprocessor flags to be set by ENV variables
3) Add support for HAL tracing to include device name

The need to use software instead of hardware for beacon timers in AP+STA mode (aka nosbeacon) is now just determined in software, as we always knew whether or not to enable this.
The confusing bssid and -bssid parameters are now deprecated.
The "uniquebssid" flag is equivalent to "bssid" and can be used to force IEEE80211_CLONE_BSSID flag. If this is not specified, then the BSSID used will be the next unused BSSID in the sequence, which could very well be the parent device's MAC address.
"uniquebssid" equates directly to IEEE80211_CLONE_BSSID" flag therefore.

progress and only works for eeprom versions < 5.
Reference: r3234
Merged from madwifi-trace and replaced with the exact version from
madwifi-trace to fix minor differences caused by previous merges.

Define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS to 64, so that even 32-bit systems would accept
64-bit addresses and pass then to mmap() correctly. It could be useful
on systems with a 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userspace.

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.

Remove the old SIOCGATHDIAG ioctl (return -EOPNOTSUPP), and add a new ioctl (SIOCGATHHALDIAG) that passes the struct through ifr_data. Also, return -EOPNOTSUPP for unknown IOCTL numbers.
Incidently, I can't find anything that actually uses the old IOCTL.
