ide/net: flip the order of SATA and network init
this patch flips the order in which sata and network drivers are initialized.
SATA probing takes quite a bit of time, and with the asynchronous infrastructure
other drivers that run after it can execute in parallel. Network drivers do tend
to take some real time talking to the hardware, so running these later is
a good thing (the sata probe then runs concurrent)
This saves about 15% of my kernels boot time.

mac80211/iwlwifi: move virtual A-MDPU queue bookkeeping to iwlwifi
This patch removes all the virtual A-MPDU-queue bookkeeping from
mac80211. Curiously, iwlwifi already does its own bookkeeping, so
it doesn't require much changes except where it needs to handle
starting and stopping the queues in mac80211.
To handle the queue stop/wake properly, we rewrite the software
queue number for aggregation frames and internally to iwlwifi keep
track of the queues that map into the same AC queue, and only talk
to mac80211 about the AC queue. The implementation requires calling
two new functions, iwl_stop_queue and iwl_wake_queue instead of the
mac80211 counterparts.

mac80211: fix aggregation to not require queue stop
Instead of stopping the entire AC queue when enabling aggregation
(which was only done for hardware with aggregation queues) buffer
the packets for each station, and release them to the pending skb
queue once aggregation is turned on successfully.
We get a little more code, but it becomes conceptually simpler and
we can remove the entire virtual queue mechanism from mac80211 in
a follow-up patch.
This changes how mac80211 behaves towards drivers that support
aggregation but have no hardware queues -- those drivers will now
not be handed packets while the aggregation session is being
established, but only after it has been fully established.

When TX aggregation becomes operational, we do a number of steps:

2) wake the virtual queue
3) notify the driver
Unfortunately, 1) and 3) are only done if the driver is first to
reply to the aggregation request, it is, however, possible that the
remote station replies before the driver! Thus, unify the code for
this and call the new function ieee80211_agg_tx_operational in both

mac80211: rewrite fragmentation
Fragmentation currently uses an allocated array to store the
fragment skbs, and then keeps track of which have been sent
and which are still pending etc. This is rather complicated;
make it simpler by just chaining the fragments into skb->next
and removing from that list when sent. Also simplifies all
code that needs to touch fragments, since it now only needs
to walk the skb->next list.
This is a prerequisite for fixing the stored packet code,

b43: Mask PHY TX error interrupt, if not debugging
This masks the PHY TX error interrupt, if debugging is disabled.
Currently we have a bug somewhere which triggers this interrupt once
in a while. (Depends on the network noise/quality). While this is nonfatal,
it scares the hell out of users and we frequently receive bugreports
that incorrectly identify this error message as the reason.
There's another problem with this. The PHY TX error interrupt is protected
with a watchdog that will restart the device if it keeps triggering very often.
This is used to fix interrupt storms from completely broken devices.
However, this watchdog might trigger in completely normal operation.
If the TX capacity of the card is saturated, the likeliness of the watchdog
triggering increases, as more TX errors occur. The current threshold
for the watchdog is 1000 errors in 15 seconds.
This patch adds a workaround for the issue by just enabling the interrupt
if debugging is disabled (by Kconfig or by modparam).
This has the downside that real fatal PHY TX errors are not caught anymore.
But this is nonfatal due to the following reasons:
* If the card is not able to transmit anymore, MLME will notice anyway.
* I did _never_ see a real fatal PHY TX error in a mainline b43 driver.
* It does _not_ result in interrupt storms or something like that.
It will simply result in a stalled card. It can be debugged by enabling
the debugging module parameter.

nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SME
This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request
authentication and association (and also deauthentication and
disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate
authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between
kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE
802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the
SME.
The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request,
MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and
MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and
association commands request the actual operations in two steps
(assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication
step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect"
command).
The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current
net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management
frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state
machine from moving automatically from authentication to association.
Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211.
The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and
association process to user space without having to move the full MLME
implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol
and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will
also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association
requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME
using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant.
This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with
over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME
primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

nl80211: Event notifications for MLME events
Add new nl80211 event notifications (and a new multicast group, "mlme")
for informing user space about received and processed Authentication,
(Re)Association Response, Deauthentication, and Disassociation frames in
station and IBSS modes (i.e., MLME SAP interface primitives
MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm,
MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indicate, and
MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication). The event data is encapsulated as the 802.11
management frame since we already have the frame in that format and it
includes all the needed information.
This is the initial step in providing MLME SAP interface for
authentication and association with nl80211. In other words, kernel code
will act as the MLME and a user space application can control it as the
SME.

We must not clear the previous BSSID when roaming to another AP within

mac80211: don't drop nullfunc frames during software scan
ieee80211_tx_h_check_assoc() was dropping everything else than probe
requests during software scan. So the nullfunc frame with the power save
bit was dropped and AP never received it. This meant that AP never
buffered any frames for the station during software scan.
Fix this by allowing to transmit both probe request and nullfunc frames
during software scan. Tested with stlc45xx.
