The bcm43xx-softmac software currently fails when running on x86_64 systems
with more than 1GB RAM and one of the card variants with 30-bit DMA addressing.
This patch uses the address extension bits in the hardware to set the correct
DMA mask for the specific card in use.

Convert the bitfields in the bcm43xx DMA code to properly
aligned u8 booleans. These flags are accessed in the DMA
hotpath, so it's a good idea to waste a few bytes of memory
for the sake of speed by not requiring masking (and probably
shifting) of the bitfields.

This is a rewrite of the bcm43xx DMA engine. It adds support
for >1G of memory (for chips that support the extension bits)
and 64-bit DMA (for chips that support it).

This patch fixes PIO mode on the softmac bcm43xx
driver. (A dscape patch will follow).
It mainly fixes endianess issues.
This patch is tested on PowerPC32 and i386.

It seems to me that the today's wireless-2.6 git contains bcm43xx which
does not free txb's correctly, if I understand it right.

Consider a situation where a txb with two skb's is sent down.
The dma_tx_fragment will save the pointer to meta->txb of the first
fragment. If fragments are freed in order, ieee80211_txb_free frees both
skb's when the first fragment is processed. This may result in reuse
of the second skb's memory.

This danger is rather remote, but it seems to me that the patch
below not only fixes the problem, but also makes the code simpler,
which is good, right?
