This adds sparse RCU annotations to most of

Due the the previous patches, the annotations

actually an RCU-managed pointer (it only has
a single assignment done before the key even
goes live). As that is otherwise harmless, I
decided to make it part of this patch.

So instead of assigning the tid_tx array with just
the spinlock held in ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session
use a separate temporary array protected only by
the spinlock and protect all assignments to the
"live" array by both the spinlock and the mutex so
that other code is easily verified to be correct.

this is a real issue, but I'm not sure, especially

cfg80211: advertise possible interface combinations
Add the ability to advertise interface combinations in nl80211.
This allows the driver to indicate what the combinations are
that it supports. "Combinations" of just a single interface are
implicit, as previously. Note that cfg80211 will enforce that
the restrictions are met, but not for all drivers yet (once all
drivers are updated, we can remove the flag and enforce for all).
When no combinations are actually supported, an empty list will
be exported so that userspace can know if the kernel exported
this info or not (although it isn't clear to me what tools using
the info should do if the kernel didn't export it).
Since some interface types are purely virtual/software and don't
fit the restrictions, those are exposed in a new list of pure SW
types, not subject to restrictions. This mainly exists to handle
AP-VLAN and monitor interfaces in mac80211.

For sleep_confirm command we already reserve 4 bytes (using skb_reserve())
for an interface header. It will be filled later by interface specific code.
We don't need "hdr[4]" element in above structure. So we can use
"struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm" directly instead of
"struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm_buffer".

bcma: add Broadcom specific AMBA bus driver
Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a
programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does
not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We
decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean.
In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and
registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for
specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver
itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core
driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct
initialization.
Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however
the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host
abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e).
Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to
80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still
optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later
without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO
used for accessing cores on the bus.

mac80211: don't drop frames where skb->len < 24 in ieee80211_scan_rx()
This seems to be a leftover from the old days, when we didn't support
any frames that didn't contain the full ieee802.11 header. This is
not the case anymore. It does not cause problems now, because they
are only dropped during scan. But when scheduled scans get merged,
this would become a problem because we would drop all small frames
while scheduled scan is running.
To fix this, return RX_CONTINUE instead of RX_DROP_MONITOR.

rtlwifi: Move 2 large arrays off stack
In driver rtlwifi, efuse_read() places two relatively large arrays on the
stack - a 1D u8 array of size 128, and a 2D array of u16 with 128 * 4 elements.
With driver rtl8192de, the sizes will be 256 and 256 * 4 respectively. As that
will make the 2D array be 2048 bytes, I have changed the code to use kmalloc to
allocate the space.

iwlagn: fix iwl_is_any_associated
The function iwl_is_any_associated() was intended
to check both contexts, but due to an oversight
it only checks the BSS context. This leads to a
problem with scanning since the passive dwell
time isn't restricted appropriately and a scan
that includes passive channels will never finish
if only the PAN context is associated since the
default dwell time of 120ms won't fit into the
normal 100 TU DTIM interval.
Fix the function by using for_each_context() and
also reorganise the other functions a bit to take
advantage of each other making the code easier to
read.
