iwlagn: Use iwl_write8() for CSR_INT_COALESCING register
CSR_INT_COALESCING previously had only one, but now has two single-byte fields.
With only one single-byte field (lowest order byte) it was okay to write via
iwl_write32(), but now with two, an iwl_write32() to the lower order field
clobbers the other field (odd-address CSR_INT_PERIODIC_REG, offset 0x5), and an
iwl_write32() to CSR_INT_PERIODIC_REG could clobber the lowest byte of the
next-higher register (CSR_INT, offset 0x8).
Fortunately, no bad side effects have been produced by the iwl_write32()
usage, due to order of execution (low order byte was always written before
higher order byte), and the fact that writing "0" to the low byte of the
next higher register has no effect (only action is when writing "1"s).
Nonetheless, this cleans up the accesses so no bad side effects might occur
in the future, if execution order changes, or more bit fields get added to
CSR_INT_COALESCING.

The Tx unit hang detection code in e1000e detects other hangs caused by
hardware components (e.g. Rx, DMA units), but it is not possible to detect
exactly which component is hung so it has always assumed a Tx unit hang.
When dumping a message to the system log because of a hang, this patch adds
more data to help narrow the cause of the issue and makes the message
non-Tx-specific. Because this new code reads PHY registers which can
sleep, move it off to a workqueue. This and all previously existing work

mac80211: request TX status where needed
Right now all frames mac80211 hands to the driver
have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set to
request TX status. This isn't really necessary, only
the injected frames need TX status (the latter for
hostapd) so move setting this flag.
The rate control algorithms also need TX status, but
they don't require it.
Also, rt2x00 uses that bit for its own purposes and
seems to require it being set for all frames, but
that can be fixed in rt2x00.
This doesn't really change anything for any drivers
but in the future drivers using hw-rate control may
opt to not report TX status for frames that don't
have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set.

cfg80211: disallow bridging managed/adhoc interfaces
A number of people have tried to add a wireless interface
(in managed mode) to a bridge and then complained that it
doesn't work. It cannot work, however, because in 802.11
networks all packets need to be acknowledged and as such
need to be sent to the right address. Promiscuous doesn't
help here. The wireless address format used for these
links has only space for three addresses, the
* transmitter, which must be equal to the sender (origin)
* receiver (on the wireless medium), which is the AP in
the case of managed mode
* the recipient (destination), which is on the APs local
network segment
In an IBSS, it is similar, but the receiver and recipient
must match and the third address is used as the BSSID.
To avoid such mistakes in the future, disallow adding a
wireless interface to a bridge.
Felix has recently added a four-address mode to the AP
and client side that can be used (after negotiating that
it is possible, which must happen out-of-band by setting
up both sides) for bridging, so allow that case.
