finds one that isn't already busy. Then it'll set that to be persistent

net: add Xilinx ll_temac device driver

This patch adds support for the Xilinx ll_temac 10/100/1000 Ethernet
device.  The ll_temac ipcore is typically used on Xilinx Virtex and
Spartan designs attached to either a PowerPC 4xx or Microblaze
processor.

At the present moment, this driver only works with Virtex5 PowerPC
designs because it assumes DCR is used to access the DMA registers.
However, the low level access to DMA registers is abstracted and
it should be easy to adapt for the other implementations.

I'm posting this driver now as an RFC.  There are still some things that
need to be tightened up, but it does appear to be stable.

Derived from driver code written by Yoshio Kashiwagi and David H. Lynch Jr.

Tested on Xilinx ML507 eval board with Base System Builder generated

af_iucv: New socket option for setting IUCV MSGLIMITs

The SO_MSGLIMIT socket option modifies the message limit for new

The message limit specifies the maximum number of outstanding messages
that are allowed for connections. This setting can be lowered by z/VM
when an IUCV connection is established.

Expects an integer value in the range of 1 to 65535.
The default value is 65535.

The message limit must be set before calling connect() or listen()
for sockets.

If sockets are already connected or in state listen, changing the message
limit is not supported.
For reading the message limit value, unconnected sockets return the limit
that has been set or the default limit. For connected sockets, the actual
message limit is returned. The actual message limit is assigned by z/VM
for each connection and it depends on IUCV MSGLIMIT authorizations

The patch allows to send and receive data in the parameter list of an
iucv message.
The parameter list is an arry of 8 bytes that are used by af_iucv as
follows:
0..6  7 bytes for socket data and
   7  1 byte to store the data length.

Instead of storing the data length directly, the difference
between 0xFF and the data length is used.
This convention does not interfere with the existing use of PRM
messages for shutting down the send direction of an AF_IUCV socket
(shutdown() operation).  Data lenghts greater than 7 (or PRM message
byte 8 is less than 0xF8) denotes to special messages.
Currently, the special SEND_SHUTDOWN message is supported only.

To use IPRM messages, both communicators must set the IUCV_IPRMDATA
flag during path negotiation, i.e. in iucv_connect() and
path_pending().

To be compatible to older af_iucv implementations, sending PRM
messages is controlled by the socket option SO_IPRMDATA_MSG.
Receiving PRM messages does not depend on the socket option (but
requires the IUCV_IPRMDATA path flag to be set).

Sending/Receiving data in the parameter list improves performance for
small amounts of data by reducing message_completion() interrupts and
memory copy operations.

mac80211: calculate maximum sleep interval

The maximum sleep interval, for powersave purposes, is
determined by the DTIM period (it may not be larger)
and the required networking latency (it must be small
enough to fulfil those constraints).

This makes mac80211 calculate the maximum sleep interval
based on those constraints, and pass it to the driver.
Then the driver should instruct the device to sleep at
most that long.

Note that the device is responsible for aligning the
maximum sleep interval between DTIMs, we make sure it's
not longer but it needs to make sure it's between them.

Also, group some powersave documentation together and
make it more explicit that we support managed mode only,
and no IBSS powersaving (yet).

rtl8187: Implement TX/RX blink for LED

The following patch implements some control over the LED on RTL8187B and
RTL8187L devices. Triggers are registered for TX and RX. Whenever the
trigger event occurs, the LED is turned off for 1/20 second, then turned
back on.

Note: For those RTL8187X devices that are built into the computer and have
a LED that is expected to be controlled with a radio switch, this patch will
not operate that LED. That will take a separate patch to be prepared later.

yet been configured to send out Beacon frames (or if beaconing has
been disabled prior to the scan request). This makes it easier to scan
for neighboring BSSes during AP initialization and makes it possible
to run a scan without setting the interface down, if needed. Without

mac80211: implement beacon filtering in software

Regardless of whether the hardware implements beacon filtering,
there's no need to process all beacons in software all the time
throughout the stack (mac80211 does a lot, then cfg80211, then
in the future possibly userspace).

This patch implements the "best possible" beacon filtering in
mac80211. "Best possible" means that it can look for changes in
all requested information elements, and distinguish vendor IEs
by their OUI.

In the future, we will add nl80211 API for userspace to request
information elements and vendor IE OUIs to watch -- drivers can
then implement the best they can do while software implements
it fully.

It is unclear whether or not this actually saves CPU time, but
the data is all in the cache already so it should be fairly
cheap. The additional _testing_, however, has great benefit;
Without this, and on hardware that doesn't implement beacon
filtering, wrong assumptions about, for example, scan result
updates could quickly creep into code.

mac80211: improve powersave implementation

When you have multiple virtual interfaces the current

enable powersave globally when exactly one managed mode
interface is active and has powersave turned on.

Second, only start the dynPS timer when PS is turned
on, and properly turn it off when PS is turned off.

Third, fix the scan_sdata abuse in the dynps code.

Finally, also reorder the code and refactor the code
that enables PS or the dynps timer instead of having
