Base versions handle constant folding now.

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez fd5c565c0c wimax/i2400m: support extended data RX protocol (no need to reallocate skbs)
Newer i2400m firmwares (>= v1.4) extend the data RX protocol so that
each packet has a 16 byte header. This header is mainly used to
implement host reordeing (which is addressed in later commits).

However, this header also allows us to overwrite it (once data has
been extracted) with an Ethernet header and deliver to the networking
stack without having to reallocate the skb (as it happened in fw <=
v1.3) to make room for it.

- control.c: indicate the device [dev_initialize()] that the driver
  wants to use the extended data RX protocol. Also involves adding the
  definition of the needed data types in include/linux/wimax/i2400m.h.

- rx.c: handle the new payload type for the extended RX data
  protocol. Prepares the skb for delivery to
  netdev.c:i2400m_net_erx().

- netdev.c: Introduce i2400m_net_erx() that adds the fake ethernet
  address to a prepared skb and delivers it to the networking
  stack.

- cleanup: in most instances in rx.c, the variable 'single' was
  renamed to 'single_last' for it better conveys its meaning.

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez ce6cde9280 i2400m: linkage to the networking stack
Implementation of the glue to the network stack so the WiMAX device
shows up as an Ethernet device.

Initially we shot for implementing a Pure IP device -- however, the
world seems to turn around Ethernet devices. Main issues were with the
ISC DHCP client and servers (as they don't understand types other than
Ethernet and Token Ring).

We proceeded to register with IANA the PureIP hw type, so that DHCP
requests could declare such. We also created patches to the main ISC
DHCP versions to support it. However, until all that permeates into
deployments, there is going to be a long time.

So we moved back to wrap Ethernet frames around the PureIP device. At
the time being this has overhead; we need to reallocate with space for
an Ethernet header. The reason is the device-to-host protocol
coalesces many network packets into a single message, so we can't
introduce Ethernet headers without overwriting valid data from other
packets.

Coming-soon versions of the firmware have this issue solved.
