A long time ago, a user reported several crashes due to
data corruptions which are likely the result of a
not-100%-supported, or faulty? PCI bridge.
( http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/53004/ )
This patch fixes entry #1.
"1. p54p_check_rx_ring - skb_over_panic: Under a ping flood
or just left running for a bit would panic with a skb_over_panic."
As described in the mail: The invalid frame length causes
skb_put to bailout and trigger a crash.
Note:
Simply dropping the frame is problematic, because if its content
contains a tx feedback we would lose some portion of the device
memory space.... And the driver/mac80211 should handle all other
invalid data.

This is the second go through of the old DMA_nBIT_MASK macro,and there're not
so many of them left,so I put them into one patch.I hope this is the last round.
After this the definition of the old DMA_nBIT_MASK macro could be removed.

This patch will prevent anyone to upload a firmware which was not designed for his device.
There's still a catch:
There is no easy way to detect if a firmware is for PCI or for USB (1st Gen),
because they all share the same LM86 identifier.

This patch simplifies the tx code a bit and will be necessary for
the upcoming stlc45xx<->p54 port.
In detail: we no longer have to tell all back-end drivers directly,
if we want to free a frame right after it was send to the firmware,
or if we do it in the library callback later.

Johannes thought it would have been a good idea to change the firmware names.
Note: we still have fallbacks in case our users don't want to "break their running system",
but we won't advertise them with MODULE_FIRMWARE.

We have to be careful if multiple "control frames" are passed in a very short intervals to
the device's firmware. As p54_assign_address always put them into same memory location.
To guarantee that this won't happen anymore, we have to treat control frames like normal
data frames in the devices own memory management.

This converts pretty much everything to print_mac. There were
a few things that had conflicts which I have just dropped for
now, no harm done.
I've built an allyesconfig with this and looked at the files
that weren't built very carefully, but it's a huge patch.

Both p54pci and p54usb uses a good chunk of device specific code to
get the data from the device's eeprom into the drivers memory.
So, this patch reduces the code size and will it make life easier if
someone wants to implement ethtool eeprom dumping features.

Having drivers start queues is just confusing, their ->start()
callback can block and do whatever is necessary, so let mac80211
start queues and have drivers wake queues when necessary (to get
packets flowing again right away.)
