This patch rewrites the TX power recalculation algorithms to scale better
with changed enviromnent. If there's low
TX traffic, the power will be checked against the desired values
every 60 seconds.
If there is high TX traffic, the check is redone every 2 seconds. This improves
the reaction times a lot and confuses the rate control less.
It will also reduce the time it initially takes to tune to a new TX power
value. With the old algorithm it could take about 30 to 45 seconds to settle to
a new power value. This will happen in about two to four seconds now.

mac80211: Handle scan result IEs in one block
Clean up and extend scan result processing by storing all the IEs from
Beacon/Probe Response frames in a single block instead of allocating
memory for each specific IE separately. This removes lot of unnecessary
code and automatically supports reporting of new IEs (e.g., IEEE
802.11r) into user space without need to manually extend mac80211
scanning code whenever a new protocol adds IE(s).

tcp: Skip empty hash buckets faster in /proc/net/tcp
On most systems most of the TCP established/time-wait hash buckets are empty.
When walking the hash table for /proc/net/tcp their read locks would
always be aquired just to find out they're empty. This patch changes the code
to check first if the buckets have any entries before taking the lock, which
is much cheaper than taking a lock. Since the hash tables are large
this makes a measurable difference on processing /proc/net/tcp,
especially on architectures with slow read_lock (e.g. PPC)
On a 2GB Core2 system time cat /proc/net/tcp > /dev/null (with a mostly
empty hash table) goes from 0.046s to 0.005s.
On systems with slower atomics (like P4 or POWER4) or larger hash tables
(more RAM) the difference is much higher.
This can be noticeable because there are some daemons around who regularly
scan /proc/net/tcp.
Original idea for this patch from Marcus Meissner, but redone by me.

Fix the checksum feature advertised in device flags. The hardware support

However, the kernel feature flags do not distinguish IPv6 with/without

Therefore, the driver needs to use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM instead of

A future patch can be created to check for extension headers and perform

ibmveth: fix bad UDP checksums
This patch fixes a ibmveth bug where bad UDP checksums are being transmitted
when checksum offloading is enabled.
The hypervisor does checksum offloading only on TCP packets, so ibmveth calls
skb_checksum_help() for any other protocol. The bug happens because
the packet is being modified after the DMA map, so we would need a memory
barrier before making the hypervisor call. Reordering the code so that the
DMA map happens after skb_checksum_help() has the additional advantage of
fixing a DMA map leak if skb_checksum_help() where to fail.
