netdevice: Kill netdev->priv
This is the last shoot of this series.
After I removing all directly reference of netdev->priv, I am killing

Anyone will not be allowed to reference netdev->priv directly.
If you want to reference the memory of private data, use netdev_priv()
instead.
If the private data is not allocted when alloc_netdev(), use
netdev->ml_priv to point that memory after you creating that private
data.

In this driver, netdev's private data is wlandevice_t. And the
wlandev(type of wlandevice_t) is exist before netdev be allocated. So
use netdev->ml_priv to point to the private data.
I am not sure whether I should consider the kernel version older than

instead of "structure net_device" and of course "dev->ml_priv" will

iwl3945 : Fix a-band association for passive channels
Patch does following things
1) This patch fixes the a-band association for passive channels with new
uCode feature that it allows direct scan on passive channels after
auto-switch from passive to active. This enables sending of direct probes
on passive channels, as long as some traffic is detected on that channel.
This improves the scanning for hidden SSIDs in A-band,which is all
passive channels.
2) This fix will only work with uCode version 15.28.2.8 and above.
Prior versions of uCode would work only if we heard the traffic within
active dwell time, which is much shorter than passive dwell time and
is shorter than typical beacon periods. This patch also provids full
active dwell time even if we hear traffic late in passive dwell.
3) uCode API version is incremented to 2.

mac80211: only transition STAs ps->wake on data frames
When a station goes to PS mode to scan, it will then send
probe requests without the PS bit set. mac80211 will take
that as indication that the station woke up, but it didn't.
This patch changes mac80211 to only consider doze->wake
transitions on data frames to to fix that issue.

mac80211: disassociate prior to unlinking AP/station
This patch reorders calls during disassociation in
ieee80211_set_disassoc function.
Since sta_info_unlink calls sta_notify(REMOVE) it will
remove the station representing AP from the driver before
it has disassociated from it using bss_info_changed callback.

It seems like proper etiquette to let other stations know when we are
going down in either STA or IBSS mode. This also notifies userland, so
wpa_supplicant doesn't get confused.

zd1211rw: use unaligned safe memcmp() in-place of compare_ether_addr()
Under my 2.6.28-rc6 sparc64, when associating to an AP through my
zd1211rw device, I was seeing kernel log messages like (not exact output):
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[10129b68] zd_mac_rx+0x144/0x32c [zd1211rw]
For the zd1211rw module, on RX, the 80211 packet will be located after
the PLCP header in the skb data buffer. The PLCP header being 5 bytes
long, the 80211 header will start unaligned from an aligned skb
buffer.
As per Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt, we must replace the
not unaligned() safe compare_ether_addr() with memcmp() to protect
architectures that require alignment.

mac80211: use unaligned safe memcmp() in-place of compare_ether_addr()
After fixing zd1211rw: use unaligned safe memcmp() in-place of
compare_ether_addr(), I started to see kernel log messages detailing
unaligned access:
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[100f7f44] sta_info_get+0x24/0x68 [mac80211]
As with the aforementioned patch, the unaligned access was eminating
from a compare_ether_addr() call. Concerned that whilst it was safe to
assume that unalignment was the norm for the zd1211rw, and take
preventative measures, it may not be the case or acceptable to use the
easy fix of changing the call to memcmp().
My research however indicated that it was OK to do this, as there are
a few instances where memcmp() is the preferred mechanism for doing
mac address comparisons throughout the module.

ipw2200: fix netif_*_queue() removal regression
In "ipw2200: Call netif_*_queue() interfaces properly", netif_stop_queue()
and netif_wake_queue() were removed with the reason
"netif_carrier_{on,off}() handles starting and stopping packet flow into
the driver". The patch also removes a valid condition check that
ipw_tx_skb() cannot be called if device is not in STATUS_ASSOCIATED state.
But netif_carrier_off() doesn't guarantee netdev->hard_start_xmit won't
be called because linkwatch event is handled in a delayed workqueue. This
caused a kernel oops reported by Frank Seidel:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=397390
This patch fixes the problem by moving the STATUS_ASSOCIATED check back
to ipw_tx_skb(). It also adds a missing netif_carrier_off() call to
ipw_disassociate().

iwlwifi: clean key table in iwl_clear_stations_table function
This patch cleans uCode key table bit map iwl_clear_stations_table
since all stations are cleared also the key table must be.
Since the keys are not removed properly on suspend by mac80211
this may result in exhausting key table on resume leading
to memory corruption during removal
This patch also fixes a memory corruption problem reported in
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=122641417231586&w=2 and tracked in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12040.
When the key is removed a second time the offset is set to 255 - this
index is not valid for the ucode_key_table and corrupts the eeprom pointer
(which is 255 bits from ucode_key_table).

tcp: tcp_vegas ssthresh bug fix
This patch fixes a bug in tcp_vegas.c. At the moment this code leaves
ssthresh untouched. However, this means that the vegas congestion
control algorithm is effectively unable to reduce cwnd below the
ssthresh value (if the vegas update lowers the cwnd below ssthresh,
then slow start is activated to raise it back up). One example where
this matters is when during slow start cwnd overshoots the link
capacity and a flow then exits slow start with ssthresh set to a value
above where congestion avoidance would like to adjust it.

xfrm: Accept ESP packets regardless of UDP encapsulation mode
From: Martin Willi <martin@strongswan.org>
An IPsec node speaking IKEv2 MUST accept incoming UDP encapsulated
ESP packets, even if no NAT situation is detected. This is important
if MOBIKE is in use. Some implementation keep the encapsulation
