f5eda47f45 b43: Rewrite LO calibration algorithm
This patch distributes the Local Oscillator calibration bursts over time,
so that calibration only happens when it's actually needed.
Currently we periodically perform a recalibration of the whole table.
The table is huge and this takes lots of time. Additionally only small bits
of the table are actually needed at a given time. So instead of maintaining
a huge table with all possible calibration values, we create dynamic calibration
settings that
a) We only calibrate when they are actually needed.
b) Are cached for some time until they expire.
So a recalibration might happen if we need a calibration setting that's not
cached, or if the active calibration setting expires.
Currently the expire timeout is set to 30 seconds. We may raise that in future.

This patch reduces overall memory consumption by nuking the
huge static calibration tables.

This patch has been tested on several 4306, 4311 and 4318 flavours.

2afc49015d ssb: Allow reading of 440-byte SPROM that is not rev 4
The current code checks for the special signature that signifies
a revision 4 SPROM. Now that a rev. 8 SPROM with a 440-byte length
has been found that may not have any special code, this check could
be relaxed. With this patch, if the CRC is incorrect for a 256-byte
SPROM, the code will immediately check for a 440-byte SPROM. If there
is still a CRC error, the size is set to 440 bytes, which allows dumping
of most of any 512-byte SPROM if one is encountered.

This patch fixes several issues in security:

1) the uCode doesn't know about TKIP-MMIC failure, if uCode set
RX_RES_STATUS_BAD_ICV_MIC, it means ICV failure: drop the packet silently.
2) do not allocate room in the key table of the uCode is the set_key call
is a replacement of an old key
3) check the keyidx of the key in the uCode before removing it upon
disable_key call

c6adbd2158 mac80211: Add IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE
This adds a new flag to the ieee80211_key_conf structure.
This flag will inform the driver the key is pairwise rather then
a shared key.

This is important for drivers who support both types of keys,
and need to be informed which type of key this is. Alternative
would be drivers checking the address argument of set_key(),
but it will be safer when mac80211 is more explicit.

1c01442058 mac80211: Replace ieee80211_tx_control->key_idx with ieee80211_key_conf
The hw_key_idx inside the ieee80211_key_conf structure does
not provide all the information drivers might need to perform
hardware encryption.

This is in particular true for rt2x00 who needs to know the
key algorithm and whether it is a shared or pairwise key.

By passing the ieee80211_key_conf pointer it assures us that
drivers can make full use of all information that it should know
about a particular key.

Additionally this patch updates all drivers to grab the hw_key_idx from
the ieee80211_key_conf structure.

  include/linux/sysfs.h:201: error: redefinition of 'sysfs_update_group'
  include/linux/sysfs.h:195: error: previous definition of 'sysfs_update_group' was here
  make[1]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 1
  make: *** [prepare0] Error 2

with the following config:

    http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Sun_May__4_07_09_30_CEST_2008.bad

the reason for the build failure is the duplicate definition of the
sysfs_update_group() inline function in include/linux/sysfs.h.

The duplication was a merge error: it was added via -mm by commit
v2.6.25-7262-g2850699, "sysfs: sysfs_update_group stub for
CONFIG_SYSFS=n" a day before v2.6.26-rc1, but a day before that the same
commit was already merged upstream via the sysfs tree, with commit
v2.6.25-7211-g1cbfb7a.

826e4506a0 Make forced module loading optional
The kernel module loader used to be much too happy to allow loading of
modules for the wrong kernel version by default.  For example, if you
had MODVERSIONS enabled, but tried to load a module with no version
info, it would happily load it and taint the kernel - whether it was
likely to actually work or not!

Generally, such forced module loading should be considered a really
really bad idea, so make it conditional on a new config option
(MODULE_FORCE_LOAD), and make it default to off.

If somebody really wants to force module loads, that's their problem,
but we should not encourage it.  Especially as it happened to me by
mistake (ie regular unversioned Fedora modules getting loaded) causing
lots of strange behavior.
