There are a few problems in the IBSS code:
 a) it tries to activate interfaces that are down after scanning
 b) it crashes after scanning on an IBSS iface that isn't active
 c) since the ssid_len is used as a flag, need to make it visible
    only after all other settings are set, this helps protect
    against b)

For b), we get a system crash:

In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access
to the driver_data pointer in struct device.  Instead, the functions
dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used.  These functions
have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
all older kernel versions.

This should be very safe compared with full enabled, so I see
no reason why it shouldn't be done right away. As ECN can only
be negotiated if the SYN sending party is also supporting it,
somebody in the loop probably knows what he/she is doing. If
SYN does not ask for ECN, the server side SYN-ACK is identical
to what it is without ECN. Thus it's quite safe.

The chosen value is safe w.r.t to existing configs which
choose to currently set manually either 0 or 1 but
silently upgrades those who have not explicitly requested
ECN off.

Whether to just enable both sides comes up time to time but
unless that gets done now we can at least make the servers
aware of ECN already. As there are some known problems to occur
if ECN is enabled, it's currently questionable whether there's
any real gain from enabling clients as servers mostly won't
support it anyway (so we'd hit just the negative sides). After
enabling the servers and getting that deployed, the client end
enable really has some potential gain too.

Based almost entirely upon a patch by Eric Dumazet.

The common case is to have num-tx-queues <= num_rx_queues
and even if num_tx_queues is larger it will not be significantly
larger.

Therefore, a subtraction loop is always going to be faster than
modulus.

The kernel should only be using the high 16 bits of a kernel
generated priority. Filter priorities in all other cases only
use the upper 16 bits of the u32 'prio' field of 'struct tcf_proto',
but when the kernel generates the priority of a filter is saves all
32 bits which can result in incorrect lookup failures when a filter
needs to be deleted or modified.

LAN9512 and LAN9514 are USB hubs with an integrated 10/100 ethernet

When netconsole is loaded and a network interface fades away (e.g. on
rmmod $interface_driver_module) the rmmod remains stuck and some locks
are taken that prevent any additional module loading/unloading as well
as interface up/down changes.
In addition kernel logs (and console) get flooded at 10s interval with

[  122.464065] unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1
[  132.704059] unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1

This patch lets netconsole take NETDEV_UNREGISTER event into account
and release the affected interface if it was in use.

When skb_rx_queue_recorded() is true, we dont want to use jash distribution
as the device driver exactly told us which queue was selected at RX time.
jhash makes a statistical shuffle, but this wont work with 8 static inputs.

Later improvements would be to compute reciprocal value of real_num_tx_queues
to avoid a divide here. But this computation should be done once,
when real_num_tx_queues is set. This needs a separate patch, and a new
field in struct net_device.
