p54usb: rewriting rx/tx routines to make use of usb_anchor's facilities
Alan Stern found several flaws in p54usb's implementation and annotated:
"usb_kill_urb() and similar routines do not expect an URB's completion
routine to deallocate it. This is almost obvious -- if the URB is deallocated
before the completion routine returns then there's no way for usb_kill_urb
to detect when the URB actually is complete."
This patch addresses all known limitations in the old implementation and fixes
khub's "use-after-freed" hang, when SLUB debug's poisoning option is enabled.

ath9k: BH shouldn't be enabled when hardirqs are disabled.
ath_tx_complete_buf uses a BH version of spinlock and so releasing
the lock enables BH which is incorrect when called from sta_notify
callback as MAC80211 disables hardirqs before the driver callback
is called.
As ath_tx_complete_buf is shared between user and softirq context
using normal spinlock may not be appropriate. Though the proper
fix would be to cleanup the context properly in the driver code,
this would be an interim fix to avoid kernel warning.

There's no driver that actually does fragmentation on the
device, and the callback is buggy (when it returns an error,
mac80211's fragmentation status is changed so reading the
frag threshold from userspace reads the new value despite
the error). Let's just remove it, if we really find some
hardware supporting it we can add it back later.

ath9k: Disable staggered Beacon frame scheduling
It looks like there are some issues in the current ath9k version as
far as staggered Beacon frame scheduling is concerned. This results in
Beacon frame timestamp being off by 25 milliseconds or so which can
cause issues with multicast power save buffering in AP mode. Some
client stations fail to receive multicast frames when there is this
large an offset between TBTT and actual Beacon transmission time.
Since ath9k does not yet support multiple BSSes anyway, the staggered
Beacon frame scheduling is just increasing the number of interrupts at
this point. The easiest fix for the timestamp offset is to disable
staggered Beacon frames for now. We need to redesign beacon.c anyway
when adding multi-BSS support with mac80211 since the existing code
depends on different mechanism for Beacon frame transmission.

trivial to change the nanosleep code as well, but since it uses it_process

The patch bloats the kernel by 104 bytes and it also adds the new pointer,
->it_signal, to k_itimer. It is used by lock_timer() to verify that the
found timer was not created by another process. It is not clear why do we

In my device I get many interrupts from a high speed USB device in a very
short period of time. The system spends a lot of time reprogramming the
hardware timer which is in a slower timing domain as compared to the CPU.
This results in the CPU spending a huge amount of time waiting for the
timer posting to be done. All of this reprogramming is useless as the
wake up time has not changed.
As measured using ETM trace this drops my reprogramming penalty from
almost 60% CPU load down to 15% during high interrupt rate. I can send
traces to show this.
Suppress setting of duplicate timer event when timer already stopped.
Timer programming can be very costly and can result in long cpu stall/wait
times.

The idle task will call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick which might warn about
pending softirqs just before the cpu kills itself completely.
However the pending softirqs on the dead cpu aren't a problem because they
will be moved to an online cpu during CPU_DEAD handling.

ring_buffer: adding EXPORT_SYMBOLs
I added EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPLs for all functions part of the API
(ring_buffer.h). This is required since oprofile is using the ring
buffer and the compilation as modules would fail otherwise.

e1000e: fix double release of mutex
During a reset, releasing the swflag after it failed to be acquired would
cause a double unlock of the mutex. Instead, test whether acquisition of
the swflag was successful and if not, do not release the swflag. The reset
must still be done to bring the device to a quiescent state.

Implements the KS8695 ethernet device (ks8695net).
This driver is only of use on the KS8695 which is an ARM9 based SoC. The
documentation on this SoC is sparse and poor, with barely a register
description and a rough outline of how the ethernet works, this driver was
therefore written with strong reference to the Micrel supplied Linux 2.6.9
port, and to Andrew Victor's ks8695eth driver.

tc35815: Enable StripCRC feature
The chip can strip CRC automatically on receiving. Enable it.
Also fix potential RX_BUF_SIZE calculation bug which was obscured by
alignment. And use proper symbols (NET_IP_ALIGN, ETH_FCS_LEN, etc.)
instead of magic numbers.

sparc64: do not export pus_fs_struct
Al asked: BTW, why does sparc64 export put_fs_struct? Grepping the
kernel tree did not show any users of an exported put_fs_struct - so
drop the export.
