iwlagn: update write pointers in iwl_irq_tasklet()
Follow-up to "update write pointers for all tx queues after wakeup"; that
patch changed iwl_irq_tasklet_legacy(), but not iwl_irq_tasklet(), so
newer devices were not covered.
Comments from original patch:
Wakeup interrupt has been updating write pointers (indexes, actually) only
for tx queues 0-5. This is adequate just for 3945, but inadequate for other
devices, all of which have more tx queues. Now updating all tx/command queues,
so device can be aware of all new tx and host commands enqueued while
device was asleep.
This can potentially improve data traffic bandwidth and/or latency.

Take advantage of device's auto-increment for SRAM reads to eliminate extra

mechanisms. In an HT Beacon, HT stations use the "Operating Mode" field
in the HT Information Element to determine whether or not to use
protection.
The Operating Mode field has 4 possible settings: 0-3:
Mode 0: If all stations in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT capable, or if the
BSS is 20/40 MHz capable, or if all stations in the BSS are 20 MHz HT
stations in a 20 MHz BSS
Mode 1: used if there are non-HT stations or APs using the primary or
secondary channels
Mode 2: if only HT stations are associated in the BSS and at least one
20 MHz HT station is associated.
Mode 3: used if one or more non-HT stations are associated in the BSS.
When in operating modes 1 or 3, and the Use_Protection field is 1 in the
Beacon's ERP IE, all HT transmissions must be protected using RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-Self.
By default, CTS-to-self is the preferred protection mechanism for less
overhead and higher throughput; but using the full RTS/CTS will better
protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in
highly-congested environment.
For 6000 series WIFI NIC, RTS/CTS protection mechanism is the
recommended choice for HT traffic based on the HW design.

xfrm: SAD entries do not expire correctly after suspend-resume
This fixes the following bug in the current implementation of
net/xfrm: SAD entries timeouts do not count the time spent by the machine
in the suspended state. This leads to the connectivity problems because
after resuming local machine thinks that the SAD entry is still valid, while
it has already been expired on the remote server.
The cause of this is very simple: the timeouts in the net/xfrm are bound to
the old mod_timer() timers. This patch reassigns them to the
CLOCK_REALTIME hrtimer.
I have been using this version of the patch for a few months on my
machines without any problems. Also run a few stress tests w/o any

net/ipx: push down BKL into a ipx_dgram_ops
Making the BKL usage explicit in ipx makes it more
obvious where it is used, reduces code size and helps
getting rid of the BKL in common code.
I did not analyse how to kill lock_kernel from ipx
entirely, this will involve either proving that it's not
needed, or replacing with a proper mutex or spinlock,
after finding out which data structures are protected
by the lock.

atl1c: change atl1c_buffer struct and restructure clean atl1c_buffer procedure
change atl1c_buffer struct, use "u16 flags" instead of "u16 state"
to store more infomation for atl1c_buffer, and restructure clean
atl1c_buffer procedure, add common api atl1c_clean_buffer.

net, compat_ioctl: handle more ioctls correctly
The MII ioctls and SIOCSIFNAME need to go through ifsioc conversion,
which they never did so far. Some others are not implemented in the
native path, so we can just return -EINVAL directly.
Add IFSLAVE ioctls to the EINVAL list and move it to the end to
optimize the code path for the common case.

compat: move sockios handling to net/socket.c
This removes the original socket compat_ioctl code
from fs/compat_ioctl.c and converts the code from the copy
in net/socket.c into a single function. We add a few cycles
of runtime to compat_sock_ioctl() with the long switch()
statement, but gain some cycles in return by simplifying
the call chain to get there.
Due to better inlining, save 1.5kb of object size in the
process, and enable further savings:

appletalk: handle SIOCATALKDIFADDR compat ioctl
We must not have a compat ioctl handler for SIOCATALKDIFADDR
