1) The mac80211 layer and drivers using it had this awful
problem on TX that causes basically every packet to be
copied before we give it to the device.

Thanks to some detective work by Johannes Berg we were
able to fix up the bulk of these problems.

The solution is two fold:

i) First we adjust LL_MAX_HEADER properly for wireless
cases

ii) We let the driver indicate any extra header and tail
room it might need, beyond netdev->hard_header_len,
in the netdev struct. Then mac80211 is updated to
set this as appropriate.

The other wireless stack we have (ieee80211) and bare wireless
drivers still have some similar issues, but with this
infrastructure they should be quite easy to fix.

2) Fix syncppp back up by providing a proper mid-layer private
pointer in the netdev struct, which is what this thing
wanted from the beginning. Thus, we can remove the BROKEN
tag in Kconfig

3) Misalignment fix in irda from Graf Yang, use get_unaligned().

4) Ilpo fixed the bad TCP inteactions with some weird printers.

They only will accept data in-order, and with FRTO (which is
enabled by default) we could get into a wedged state and stop
making forward progress after loss.

I very much appreciate all of the effort he and the bug reporter
put into diagnosing this problem and coming up with a fix.

5) Uninitialized pointer fix in SCTP by Patrick McHardy

6) CIPSO calculates it's hash function imporperly, fix from
Pavel Emelyanov

7) PPP frees registered netdevices in error path, also from
Pavel Emelyanov

8) Netfilter xt_iprange is missing module aliases, fix from
Phil Oester

9) Two SCTP fixes from Wei Yongjun

10) Wireless updates and fixes from John Linville and the rest
of the wireless crew.

11) Wired driver updates from Jeff Garzik and co.

You will notice the larger bits for the SFQ driver in
here, but that driver is new and thus these changes
cannot cause regressions so I think they are appropriate
to add at this time. If you disagree just let us know. :)

Also of note is that Auke has passed the Intel ethernet
driver torch on to another crazy fool :-)

Please pull, thanks a lot!
