Introduce a function br_parse_ip_options that will audit the
skb and possibly refill IP options before a packet enters the
IP stack. If no options are present, the function will zero out
the skb cb area so that it is not misinterpreted as options by some
unsuspecting IP layer routine. If packet consistency fails, drop it.

qlcnic driver allocates rx skbs and gives to hardware too bytes of extra
storage, allowing for corruption of kernel data.
NET_IP_ALIGN being 0 on some platforms (including x86), drivers should
not assume it's 2.
rds_ring->skb_size = rds_ring->dma_size + NET_IP_ALIGN;
...
skb = dev_alloc_skb(rds_ring->skb_size);
skb_reserve(skb, 2);
pci_map_single(pdev, skb->data, rds_ring->dma_size, PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE);
(and rds_ring->skb_size == rds_ring->dma_size) -> bug
Because of extra alignment (1500 + 32) -> four extra bytes are available
before the struct skb_shared_info, so corruption is not noticed.
Note: this driver could use netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align()

we can use dev->reg_state to figure out whether dev_change_net_namespace

The first version of the driver had hard-coded the logic
for handling the checksum offloading.
This was designed according to the chips included in
the STM platforms where:
o MAC10/100 supports no COE at all.
o GMAC fully supports RX/TX COE.
This is not good for other chip configurations where,
for example, the mac10/100 supports the tx csum in HW
or when the GMAC has no IPC.
Thanks to Johannes Stezenbach; he provided me a first
draft of this patch that only reviewed the IPC for the
GMAC devices.
This patch also helps on SPEAr platforms where the
MAC10/100 can perform the TX csum in HW.
Thanks to Deepak SIKRI for his support on this.
In the end, GMAC devices for STM platforms have
a bugged Jumbo frame support that needs to have
the Tx COE disabled for oversized frames (due to
limited buffer sizes). This information is also
passed through the driver's platform structure.

Some buggy APs do not respond to unicast probe requests
or send unicast probe requests very delayed so in the
worst case we should try to send broadcast probe requests,
otherwise we can get disconnected from these APs.
Even if drivers do not have filters to disregard probe
responses from foreign APs mac80211 will only process
probe responses from our associated AP for re-arming
connection monitoring.
We need to do this since the beacon monitor does not
push back the connection monitor by design so even if we
are getting beacons from these type of APs our connection
monitor currently relies heavily on the way the probe
requests are received on the AP. An example of an AP
affected by this is the Nexus One, but this has also been
observed with random APs.
We can probably optimize this later by using null funcs
instead of probe requests.
