This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.
The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.
I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:
- The API is to simple, important functions are missing
- A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
- There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
- There is no support for data records inside a fifo
So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much. The new API has the following benefits:
- Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
- Provide an API for the most use case.
- Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
- Linux style habit.
- DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
- Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
- The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
- Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
- Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
one is required.
- Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
- Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
field of 1 bytes.
- Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
field of 2 bytes.
- Fixed size records, which no record size field.
- Preserve memory resource.
- Performance!
- Easy to use!
This patch:
Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

Most of the 11d code was protected with an "if (priv->enable11d)" clause.
But there was no code that anywhere that was able to set this
variable to true. So all 11d code was dead for almost a year and no one
complained. That's enought incentive to remove this code.
Besides removing old cruft, we gain back the 11d capability in a common way
when we merge the cfg80211 functionality.

This fixes an issus that made "iwconfig eth1 power on" non-working.
When we get a "PS sleep" event, we have to confirm this to the firmware.
The confirm happens with a command, but this command is special: the
firmware won't send us a response. if_cs_host_to_card() is setting
priv->dnld_sent anyway, so this variable stayed at DNLD_DATA_SENT and
was never cleared back.
Now I put the special knowledge that the CMD_802_11_PS_MODE with
CMD_SUBCMD_SLEEP_CONFIRMED doesn't need to need a response by directly
clearing the dnld_sent state in lbs_send_confirmsleep().
