rt2x00: fix a wrong parameter for __test_and_clear_bit() in rt2x00rfkill_free().
When running modprobe rt73usb, and then rmmod rt73usb, and then
iwconfig, the wlan0 device does not disappear. When repeating this
process again, we get a kernel Oops errors and "BUG: unable to handle
kernel paging request..." message in the kernel log.
The reason for this is that there is an error in rt2x00rfkill_free(),
which is called in the process of removing the device
(rt2x00lib_remove_dev() in rt2x00dev.c).
rt2x00rfkill_free() clears the RFKILL_STATE_ALLOCATED bit , which is
bit number 1 () in rt2x00dev->flags instead of in
rt2x00dev->rfkill_state. As a result, when checking the
DEVICE_STATE_REGISTERED_HW bit (bit number 1 in rt2x00dev->flags) in
rt2x00lib_remove_hw() it is **unset**, and we wrongly **don't** call
ieee80211_unregister_hw().
This patch corrects this: the parameter for __test_and_clear_bit() in
rt2x00rfkill_free() should be &rt2x00dev->rfkill_state and not
&rt2x00dev->flags.

This fixes a regression on disallowing bands introduced with the new
802.11d support. The issue is that IEEE-802.11 allows APs to send
a subset of what a country regulatory domain defines. This was clarified
in this document:
http://tinyurl.com/11d-clarification
As such it is possible, and this is what is done in practice, that a
single band 2.4 GHz AP will only send 2.4 GHz band regulatory information
through the 802.11 country information element and then the current
intersection with what CRDA provided yields a regulatory domain with
no 5 GHz information -- even though that country may actually allow
5 GHz operation. We correct this by only applying the intersection rules
on a channel if the the intersection yields a regulatory rule on the
same band the channel is on.

As spotted by Willy Tarreau, current splice() from tcp socket to pipe is not

This results in low performance and very high overhead due to syscall rate

Willy provided a patch inside tcp_splice_read(), but a better fix
is to let tcp_read_sock() process as many segments as possible, so
that tcp_rcv_space_adjust() and tcp_cleanup_rbuf() are called less
often.
With this change, splice() behaves like tcp_recvmsg(), being able

netfilter 06/09: nf_conntrack: fix ICMP/ICMPv6 timeout sysctls on big-endian
An old bug crept back into the ICMP/ICMPv6 conntrack protocols: the timeout
values are defined as unsigned longs, the sysctl's maxsize is set to
sizeof(unsigned int). Use unsigned int for the timeout values as in the
other conntrack protocols.

netfilter 03/09: bridge: Disable PPPOE/VLAN processing by default
The PPPOE/VLAN processing code in the bridge netfilter is broken
by design. The VLAN tag and the PPPOE session ID are an integral
part of the packet flow information, yet they're completely
ignored by the bridge netfilter. This is potentially a security
hole as it treats all VLANs and PPPOE sessions as the same.
What's more, it's actually broken for PPPOE as the bridge netfilter
tries to trim the packets to the IP length without adjusting the
PPPOE header (and adjusting the PPPOE header isn't much better
since the PPPOE peer may require the padding to be present).
Therefore we should disable this by default.
It does mean that people relying on this feature may lose networking
depending on how their bridge netfilter rules are configured.
However, IMHO the problems this code causes are serious enough to
warrant this.

Currently the bridge FORWARD/POST_ROUTING chains treats all
non-IPv4 packets as IPv6. This packet fixes that by returning
NF_ACCEPT on non-IP packets instead, just as is done in PRE_ROUTING.

script: improve markup_oops.pl to also decode oopses in modules
There has been some light flamewar on lkml about decoding oopses
in modules (as part of the crashdump flamewar).
Now this isn't rocket science, just the markup_oops.pl script
cheaped out and didn't handle modules. But really; a flamewar
all about that?? What happened to C++ in the kernel or reading
files from inside the kernel?
This patch adds module support to markup_oops.pl; it's not the
most pretty perl but it works for my testcases...

This patch enables one of the watchdog timers found on the SBC610. There are
two identical watchdog timers at different offsets in the above mentioned
boards, however the current driver is only capable of supporting one of them.
The watchdog timers are also capable of generating interrupts at a
user-configurable threshold, though support for this operation is currently
not supported by the driver.
