declance: Restore tx descriptor ring locking

A driver overhaul on 29 Feb 2000 (!) broke locking around fiddling with
the tx descriptor ring in start_xmit(); a follow-on "fix" removed the
broken remnants altogether.  Here's a patch to restore proper locking in
the function -- the complement in the interrupt handler has been correct
all the time.

 This *may* have been the reason for the occasional confusion of the chip
-- triggering a tx timeout followed by a chip reset sequence -- seen on
R4k-based DECstations with the onboard Ethernet interface.  Another theory
is the confusion is due to an unindentified problem -- perhaps a silicon
erratum -- associated with the variation of the MT ASIC used to interface
the R4k CPU to the rest of the system on these computers; with its
aggressive write-back buffering the design is particularly weakly ordered
when it comes to MMIO (in the absence of ordering barriers uncached reads
are allowed to bypass earlier uncached writes, even if to the same
location), which may trigger all kinds of corner cases in peripheral
hardware as well as software.

82599 has a FW running that helps manage the internal SFI PHY.  There are
also a number of pre-production samples of these SFI-based devices in the

pre-production adapter is identified.  The driver will continue loading

have the proper checksums for GSO, but can otherwise be handled by
the underlying device, we will not perform the fraglist check on it
at all.

If the underlying device cannot handle fraglists, then this will
break.

The fix is as simple as moving the fraglist check from the device
check into skb_gso_ok.

This has caused crashes with Xen when used together with GRO which
can generate GSO packets with fraglists.

rfkill: create useful userspace interface

The new code added by this patch will make rfkill create
a misc character device /dev/rfkill that userspace can use
to control rfkill soft blocks and get status of devices as
well as events when the status changes.

Using it is very simple -- when you open it you can read
a number of times to get the initial state, and every
further read blocks (you can poll) on getting the next
event from the kernel. The same structure you read is
also used when writing to it to change the soft block of
a given device, all devices of a given type, or all
devices.

This also makes CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT selectable again in
order to be able to test without it present since its
functionality can now be replaced by userspace entirely
and distros and users may not want the input part of
rfkill interfering with their userspace code. We will
also write a userspace daemon to handle all that and
consequently add the input code to the feature removal
schedule.

In order to have rfkilld support both kernels with and
without CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT (or new kernels after its
eventual removal) we also add an ioctl (that only exists
if rfkill-input is present) to disable rfkill-input.
It is not very efficient, but at least gives the correct

ar9170: fix lockdep warning on hibernate

This patch takes care of Johannes' deadlock report by moving the
mutex_lock right after cancel_work_sync in ar9170_op_stop.

Besides, the janitor does not need to hold the mutex anymore,
so this extra lines can be removed as well.
