libertas: read SD8688 firmware status from new register
The scratch pad register is used to store firmware status after
firmware is downloaded and initialized. After firmware status is
verified OK, the same register is used to store RX packet length.
Hence the firmware status code is no longer valid afterwards.
SD8688 firmware introduces a new register for firmware status
which will never be overwritten.
Also add scratch_reg variable to if_sdio_card structure and
initialize it based on the model of the card during probe.

If the last broadcast/multicast frame is not received properly (or if
the AP fails to send it), the next Beacon frame will work as a backup

cfg80211: Process regulatory max bandwidth checks for HT40
We are not correctly listening to the regulatory max bandwidth
settings. To actually make use of it we need to redesign things
a bit. This patch does the work for that. We do this to so we
can obey to regulatory rules accordingly for use of HT40.
We end up dealing with HT40 by having two passes for each channel.
The first check will see if a 20 MHz channel fits into the channel's
center freq on a given frequency range. We check for a 20 MHz
banwidth channel as that is the maximum an individual channel
will use, at least for now. The first pass will go ahead and
check if the regulatory rule for that given center of frequency
allows 40 MHz bandwidths and we use this to determine whether
or not the channel supports HT40 or not. So to support HT40 you'll
need at a regulatory rule that allows you to use 40 MHz channels
but you're channel must also be enabled and support 20 MHz by itself.
The second pass is done after we do the regulatory checks over
an device's supported channel list. On each channel we'll check
if the control channel and the extension both:
o exist
o are enabled
o regulatory allows 40 MHz bandwidth on its frequency range
This work allows allows us to idependently check for HT40- and
HT40+.

r8169: allow true forced mode setting
Due to mostly historic reasons, including a lack of reliability
of the link handling (especially with the older 8169), the
current r8169 driver emulates forced mode setting by limiting
the advertised modes.
With this change the driver allows real 10/100 forced mode
settings on the 8169 and 8101/8102.
Original idea by Vincent Steenhoute. The RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_03
tweak was extracted from Realtek's r8169 v6.010.00 driver.

net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).
CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.
It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.
David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
(so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().
List of devices that must clear this flag is :
- loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
"ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
already need to have a dst_entry attached."
- appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function
- And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
(as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr

net-sysfs: Use rtnl_trylock in sysfs methods.
The earlier patch to fix the deadlock between a network device going
away and writing to sysfs attributes was incomplete.
- It did not set signal_pending so we would leak ERSTARTSYS to user space.
- It used ERESTARTSYS which only restarts if sigaction configures it to.
- It did not cover store and show for ifalias.
So fix all of these up and use the new helper restart_syscall so we get
