o mark rx frames including FCS in the payload with the
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_FCS flag
o remove hack to copy 802.11 headers with padding out of line; instead mark
the frames with IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_DATAPAD and require applications to
do the work
o split precalculated radiotap flags into tx+rx now that they can be different
Note the full usefulness of these changes depends on updates to applications
that process radiotap data.
o don't reclaim any previous beacon state in ath_beacon_alloc; do it
explicitly in ath_newstate
o reference count the node held in the beacon frame state block
o process ibss merge more intelligently; let the state machine do the
right thing instead of explicitly setting the new bssi id
o explicitly stop tx dma before doing beacon setup to handle the ibss
merge case

- Convert all of my locally chosen function names to their actual
Windows equivalents, where applicable. This is a big no-op change
since it doesn't affect functionality, but it helps avoid a bit
of confusion (it's now a lot easier to see which functions are
emulated Windows API routines and which are just locally defined).
- Turn ndis_buffer into an mdl, like it should have been. The structure
is the same, but now it belongs to the subr_ntoskrnl module.
- Implement a bunch of MDL handling macros from Windows and use them where
applicable.
- Correct the implementation of IoFreeMdl().
- Properly implement IoAllocateMdl() and MmBuildMdlForNonPagedPool().
- Add the definitions for struct irp and struct driver_object.
- Add IMPORT_FUNC() and IMPORT_FUNC_MAP() macros to make formatting
the module function tables a little cleaner. (Should also help
with AMD64 support later on.)
- Fix if_ndis.c to use KeRaiseIrql() and KeLowerIrql() instead of
the previous calls to hal_raise_irql() and hal_lower_irql() which
have been renamed.
The function renaming generated a lot of churn here, but there should
be very little operational effect.
NetBSD went this route a while ago. FreeBSD originally tried this to
cope with multifunction cards. However, it turns out that we're
better off not worrying about the function number, and instead worry
about the function type for the function. This has worked well in
NetBSD, and all FreeBSD's relevant drivers have been converted.
# I'll rework the macros that specify them shortly, as soon as I can
# come up with a good, compatible way to deal...
Use the correct number of handles for multihandle returns.
Very, very, rarely on some SMP systems we've seen an 'unstable' type
in the response queue. I dunno whether or not it's a bug in our
handling, or whether there's a cache incoherency issue, but
try to guard against it.

This fixes a panic when we want to create too big memory backed device
with preallocate memory (-o reserve).

address, nor do we need the alignment requirements, so eliminate them.
This likely means that we can now collapse some of the entries as we
have no need of them anymore (they match other entries and were there
only to get the right attr memory offset of the enet addr).
cards work. These changes depend on the expanded funce parsing that
just was committed to pccard_cis.c. In NetBSD the ethernet address
was read out of attr memory directly. We rely on the kernel pccard
parser to pulll this information out of what appears to be an obsolete
funce with the information in it.

Rather than have a twisty maze of special case allocations, move
instead to a data driven allocation. This should be the most robust
way to cope with the resource problems that the multiplicity of ways
of encoding 5 registers that have the misfortune of not being a power
of 2 nor contiguous.
Also, make it less impossible that pccard will work. I've not been able
to get my libretto floppy working, but it now fails later than before.
phk and I had similar ideas on this during the 5.3 release cycle, but
it wasn't until recently that I could test more than one allocation
scenario.
