4d8cd26849 wireless: mark prism54 as deprecated and mark for removal
The preferred module is p54pci which also supports FullMAC
PCI / Cardbus devices. We schedule removal for 2.6.34. Reason
to remove this is no one really is testing prism54 anymore,
and while it works p54pci provides support for the same hardware.
It should be noted I have been told some FullMAC devices may not
have worked with the SoftMAC driver but to date we have yet to
recieve a single bug report regarding this. If there are users
out there please let us know!

b0544eb601 b43: Really disable QoS, if requested
Currently, when QoS-disable is requested, we would leave QoS enabled
in firmware, but only queue frames on one queue.
Change that and also tell firmware about disabled QoS, so it
completely ignores all the QoS parameters. Also don't upload the parameters,

4789666e13 rt2x00: Hardcode TX ack timeout and consume time
The calculated values for the ACK timeout and ACK
consume time are different then the values as
used by the Legacy drivers.

After testing from James Ledwith it appeared that
the calculated values caused a high amount of TX
failures, and the values from the Legacy drivers
were the most optimal to prevent TX failure due to
excessive retries.

The symptoms of this problem:
 - Rate control module always falls back to 1Mbs
 - Low throughput when bitrate was fixed

Possible side-effects (not confirmed but highly likely)
 - Problems with DHCP
 - Broken connections due to lack of probe response

This should fix at least:
Kernel bugzilla reports: [13362], [13009], [9273]
Fedora bugzilla reports: [443203]
but possible some additional bugs as well.

fea6734a0e ath,ar9170: implemented conformance test limit calc. for tx power
apply the conformance test limits (CTL) stored in the eeprom upon
the values calculated for the tx power (ar->power_*).

This is based on the implementation in the vendor driver
(hal/hpmain.c, line 3700 ff.) with one difference:
If any ctl mode isn't found in the eeprom, we fall back to the "lower",
legacy modes (5GHT20,11A or 2GHT20,11G,11B). Otus only did 5GHT20->11A.

Currently CTL are applied for the FCC group only.

2a6ba39ad6 can: sja1000: legacy SJA1000 ISA bus driver
This patch adds support for legacy SJA1000 CAN controllers on the ISA
or PC-104 bus. The I/O port or memory address and the IRQ number must
be specified via module parameters:

  insmod sja1000_isa.ko port=0x310,0x380 irq=7,11

for ISA devices using I/O ports or:

  insmod sja1000_isa.ko mem=0xd1000,0xd1000 irq=7,11

for memory mapped ISA devices.

Indirect access via address and data port is supported as well:

  insmod sja1000_isa.ko port=0x310,0x380 indirect=1 irq=7,11

Here is a full list of the supported module parameters:

  port:I/O port number (array of ulong)
  mem:I/O memory address (array of ulong)
  indirect:Indirect access via address and data port (array of byte)
  irq:IRQ number (array of int)
  clk:External oscillator clock frequency (default=16000000 [16 MHz])
      (array of int)
  cdr:Clock divider register (default=0x48 [CDR_CBP | CDR_CLK_OFF])
      (array of byte)
  ocr:Output clock register (default=0x18 [OCR_TX0_PUSHPULL])
      (array of byte)

Note: for clk, cdr, ocr, the first argument re-defines the default
for all other devices, e.g.:

 insmod sja1000_isa.ko mem=0xd1000,0xd1000 irq=7,11 clk=24000000

is equivalent to

 insmod sja1000_isa.ko mem=0xd1000,0xd1000 irq=7,11 \
                       clk=24000000,24000000

fab4e76373 WAN: dscc4: Fix warning pointing out a bug.
Noticed by Stephen Rothwell:

	Today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig gcc-4.4.0)

	drivers/net/wan/dscc4.c: In function 'dscc4_rx_skb':
	drivers/net/wan/dscc4.c:670: warning: suggest parentheses around comparison in operand of '|'

	which actually points out a bug, I think.  It is doing
		(x & (y | z)) != y | z
	when it probably means
		(x & (y | z)) != (y | z)

2c11455321 macvlan: add multiqueue capability
macvlan devices are currently not multi-queue capable.

We can do that defining rtnl_link_ops method,
get_tx_queues(), called from rtnl_create_link()

This new method gets num_tx_queues/real_num_tx_queues
from lower device.

macvlan_get_tx_queues() is a copy of vlan_get_tx_queues().

Because macvlan_start_xmit() has to update netdev_queue
stats only (and not dev->stats), I chose to change
tx_errors/tx_aborted_errors accounting to tx_dropped,
since netdev_queue structure doesnt define tx_errors /
tx_aborted_errors.

d4ab88194e ixgbe: Add support for using FCoE DDP in 82599 as FCoE targets
The FCoE DDP in 82599 can be used for both FCoE initiator as well as FCoE
target, depending on the indication of the exchange being the responder or
originator in the F_CTL (frame control) field in the encapsulated Fiber
Channel frame header (T10 Spec., FC-FS). For the initiator, OX_ID is used
for FCoE DDP, where for the target RX_ID is used for FCoE DDP.

09ad1cc099 ixgbe: Distribute transmission of FCoE traffic in 82599
This adds a simple selection of a FCoE tx queue based on the current cpu id to
distribute transmission of FCoE traffic evenly among multiple FCoE transmit
queues.

8de8b2e634 ixgbe: Add support for multiple Tx queues for FCoE in 82599
This patch adds support for multiple transmit queues to the Fiber Channel
over Ethernet (FCoE) feature found in 82599. Currently, FCoE has multiple
Rx queues available, along with a redirection table, that helps distribute
the I/O load across multiple CPUs based on the FC exchange ID. To make
this the most effective, we need to provide the same layout of transmit
queues to match receive.

Particularly, when Data Center Bridging (DCB) is enabled, the designated
traffic class for FCoE can have dedicated queues for just FCoE traffic,
while not affecting any other type of traffic flow.
