b) remember to pre-stop the queue if we won't have room
c) removing lltx means we can remove our tx lock

Updates of the RBRDU have two different meanings depending on their
context:
1. the receiving process has not started - the value which is written
into the RBRDU register is supposed to be the free rx descriptors
count (rounded to a multiple of 4)
2. the receiving process is running - the value increments the count
above (sic)
The update is currently issued deep inside the rx replenish chain (see
velocity_give_many_rx_descs).
Let's propagate enough information to the caller so that the rx
replenish functions do not depend on hardware any more.
It is needed to perform the Rx/Tx buffers housekeeping when MTU changes.

Executive summary: the bounce buffers are in my way
- they use something like a 64 * 1500 bytes area of PCI
consistent area
- they are not resized when the MTU changes
- they are used
- to hand-pad undersized packets. skb_pad anyone ?
- to linearize fragmented skbs whose fragment count
goes beyond the 7 fragments hardware limit in order
to claim scatter-gather support
Actually the SG code is commented out and I wonder if it
could not be implemented (ab-)using the large send feature
of the chipset since the latter should support some
multi-descriptor packet transmitting.

Only plain netif_schedule() remains taking a net_device, mostly as a

The lock is now an attribute of the device queue.

It can be obtained via the netdev_queue. So create a helper routine,
qdisc_dev(), to make the transformations nicer looking.

A netdev_queue is an entity managed by a qdisc.
Currently there is one RX and one TX queue, and a netdev_queue merely
contains a backpointer to the net_device.
The Qdisc struct is augmented with a netdev_queue pointer as well.
Eventually the 'dev' Qdisc member will go away and we will have the
resulting hierarchy:
net_device --> netdev_queue --> Qdisc
Also, qdisc_alloc() and qdisc_create_dflt() now take a netdev_queue
pointer argument.

- vlan_dev_reorder_header() is only called on the receive path after
calling skb_share_check(). This means we can use skb_cow() since
all we need is a writable header.
- vlan_dev_hard_header() includes a work-around for some apparently
broken out of tree MPLS code. The hard_header functions can expect
to always have a headroom of at least there own hard_header_len
available, so the reallocation check is unnecessary.
- __vlan_put_tag() can use skb_cow_head() to avoid the skb_unshare()
copy when the header is writable.

Consider the following scenario:
ipv6_del_addr(ifp)
ipv6_ifa_notify(RTM_DELADDR, ifp)
ip6_del_rt(ifp->rt)
after returning from the ipv6_ifa_notify and enabling BH-s
back, but *before* calling the addrconf_del_timer the
ifp->timer fires and:
addrconf_dad_timer(ifp)
addrconf_dad_completed(ifp)
ipv6_ifa_notify(RTM_NEWADDR, ifp)
ip6_ins_rt(ifp->rt)
then return back to the ipv6_del_addr and:
in6_ifa_put(ifp)
inet6_ifa_finish_destroy(ifp)
dst_release(&ifp->rt->u.dst)
After this we have an ifp->rt inserted into fib6 lists, but
queued for gc, which in turn can result in oopses in the
fib6_run_gc. Maybe some other nasty things, but we caught
only the oops in gc so far.
The solution is to disarm the ifp->timer before flushing the
rt from it.

Although I only tested similar code (I don't use any of this wireless
code), the state maintainance between Netlink dump callback invocations
seems wrong here and should lead to an endless loop. There are also other
examples in the same file which might have the same problem. Perhaps someone
can actually test this (or refute my logic).
Take the simple example with only one element in the list (which should fit
into the message):
1. invocation:
Start:
idx = 0, start = 0
Loop:
condition (++idx < start) => (1 < 0) => false
=> no continue, fill one entry, exit loop, return skb->len > 0
2. invocation:
Start:
idx = 0, start = 1
Loop:
condition (++idx < start) => (1 < 1) => false
=> no continue, fill the same entry again, exit loop, return skb->len > 0
3. invocation:
Same as 2. invocation, endless invocation of callback.
Also, iterations where the filling of an element fails should not be counted as
completed, so idx should not be incremented in this case.

Some early versions of RTL8187B devices have a USB ID of 0x8187
rather than the 0x8189 of later models. In addition, it appears
that these early units also must be programmed with lower power.
Previous patches used the Product ID string to detect this situation,
but did not address the low power question. This patch uses the
hardware version and sets the power accordingly.
