The useless channel use statistics are quite a lot of code, currently
use integer divisions in the packet fast path, are rather inaccurate
since they do not account for retries and finally nobody even cares.
Hence, remove them completely.

This patch updates mac80211 and drivers to be multi-queue aware and
use that instead of the internal queue mapping. Also does a number
of cleanups in various pieces of the code that fall out and reduces
internal mac80211 state size.

There really is no reason for a driver to reject a frame on
an A-MPDU queue when it can stop that queue for any period
of time and is given frames one by one. Hence, disallow it
with a big warning and reduce mac80211-internal state.
Also add a warning when we try to fragment a frame destined
for an A-MPDU queue and drop it, the actual bug needs to be
fixed elsewhere but I'm not exactly sure how to yet.

This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit
information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra
memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit,
a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
is kept outside of the union.
A number of fixes were done by Ivo, as well as the rt2x00 part

This patch modifies struct ieee80211_tx_control to give band
info and the rate index (instead of rate pointers) to drivers.
This mostly serves to reduce the TX control structure size to
make it fit into skb->cb so that the fragmentation code can
put it there and we can think about passing it to drivers that
way in the future.

The mesh_path_node_copy() can be called like this:
mesh_path_add
`- write_lock(&pathtbl_resize_lock); /* ! */
`- mesh_table_grow
`- ->copy_node
`- mesh_path_node_copy
thus, the GFP_KERNEL is not suitable here.
The acceptable fix, I suppose, is make this allocation GPF_ATOMIC -
the mpath_node being allocated is 4 pointers, i.e. this allocation
is small enough to survive even under a moderate memory pressure.

(This set applies OK without the previous one of 4 patches,
but with some fuzz in the 7th one)
The mesh_path_node_free() does so under hashwlock.
But, this one is called
1. from mesh_path_add() after an old hash is hidden and
synchronize_rcu() is calld
2. mesh_pathtbl_unregister(), when the module is being
unloaded and no devices exist to mess with this hash.
So, it seems to me, that simply removing the call is OK.

We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.
I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.
In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.
So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.

This patch ensures that TIPC's topology service and configuration
service are shut down before switching into "network mode". This
ensures that TIPC does not mistakenly try to send unnecessary
"publication withdraw" messages to other nodes before it is fully
initialized for sending off-node messages. Note that the node's
current network address is now updated only after the two services
are shut down; this ensures that any existing connections to the
topology server are terminated correctly using the old address.
