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.

Both Dave and Jeff acked this patch and suggested it should go via the async
tree.

Now that everyone has been able to test the async code (and it's being used
in the Moblin betas by default), we can enable it by default.
The various fixes needed have gone into 2.6.29 already.

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.

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.

We just found a bug in zd1211rw where it would reject
packets in the ->tx() method but leave them modified,
which would cause retransmit attempts with completely
bogus skbs, eventually leading to a panic due to not
having enough headroom in those.

This patch adds a sanity check to mac80211 to catch
such driver mistakes; in this case we warn and drop
the skb.

When TX aggregation becomes operational, we do a number of steps:
 1) print a debug message
 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
places where TX aggregation can become operational.

Additionally, rename the driver notification from
IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_RESUME to IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL.

The pending packets code is quite incomprehensible, uses memory barriers
nobody really understands, etc. This patch reworks it entirely, using

Internally, mac80211 requires the skb's queue mapping to be set
to the AC queue, not the virtual A-MPDU queue. This is not done
correctly currently, this patch moves the code down to directly
before the driver is invoked and adds a comment that it will be
moved into the driver later.

Since this requires __ieee80211_tx() to have the sta pointer,
make sure to provide it in ieee80211_tx_pending().

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,
which I need to do for proper aggregation packet storing.

Luis reports that there's a circular locking dependency;
this is because cfg80211_dev_rename() will acquire the
cfg80211_mutex while the device mutex is held, while
this normally is done the other way around. The solution
is to open-code the device-getting in nl80211_set_wiphy
and require holding the mutex around cfg80211_dev_rename
rather than acquiring it within.

Also fix a bug -- rtnl locking is expected by drivers so
we need to provide it.

ath5k sets up a mapping table from the hardware rate index to
the rate index used by mac80211; however, we have seen some
received frames with incorrect rate indexes.  Such frames
normally get dropped with a warning in __ieee80211_rx(),
but it doesn't include enough information to track down the
error.

This patch adds a warning to hw_to_driver_rix for any lookups
that result in a rate index of -1, then returns a valid rate so
the frame can be processed.

Currently the timer is triggering every two seconds

still trigger during idle periods, that needs to be fixed later.

There's also a functional change that probe requests are sent only when the
data path is idle, earlier they were sent also while there was activity
on the data path.

This is also preparation for the beacon filtering support. Thanks to
