2bd92cd2a5 be2net: enable IOMMU pass through for be2net
This patch sets the coherent DMA mask to 64-bit after the be2net driver has
been acknowledged that the system is 64-bit DMA capable. The coherent DMA
mask is examined by the Intel IOMMU driver to determine whether to allow
pass through context mapping for all devices. With this patch, the be2net
driver combined with be2net compatible hardware provides comparable
performance to the case where vt-d is disabled. The main use-case for this
change is to decrease the time necessary to copy virtual machine memory
during KVM live migration instantiations.

This patch was tested on a system that enables the IOMMU in non-coherent
mode. Two DMA remapper issues were encountered in the previous version and
both patches have been committed.

Don't log "Out of MCCQ wrbs" msg. When the driver doesn't receive any

ab11bb28fb ath9k: always set common->macaddr to the MAC adress of a virtual interface
In some cases it can be useful to change the MAC address of a virtual
interface to something that's completely different from the EEPROM
stored MAC address. In this case it is a bad idea to use the EEPROM MAC
address for calculating the BSSID mask, as that would make it too wide.

In one case a few devices have been observed to send ACKs for many
packets on the channel not directed at them, which results in a neat
Denial of Service attack on the channel.
