<title>b43: work around a locking issue in -&gt;set_tim()</title>

<content type='text'>
ops-&gt;set_tim() must be atomic, so b43 trying to acquire a mutex leads
to a kernel crash. This patch trades an easy to trigger crash in AP
mode for an unlikely race condition. According to Michael, the real
fix would be to allow set_tim() to sleep, since b43 is not the only
driver that needs to sleep in all callbacks.

b43 allocates a bouncebuffer, if the supplied TX skb is in an invalid
memory range for DMA.
However, this is broken in that it fails to copy over some metadata to the
new skb.

This patch fixes three problems:
* Failure to adjust the ieee80211_tx_info pointer to the new buffer.
  This results in a kmemcheck warning.
* Failure to copy the skb cb, which contains ieee80211_tx_info, to the new skb.
  This results in breakage of various TX-status postprocessing (Rate control).
* Failure to transfer the queue mapping.
  This results in the wrong queue being stopped on saturation and can result in queue overflow.

"b43: Fix PPC crash in rfkill polling on unload" fixed the bug reported
in Bugzilla No. 14181; however, it introduced a new bug. Whenever the
radio switch was turned off, it was necessary to unload and reload
the driver for it to recognize the switch again.

This patch fixes both the original bug in #14181 and the bug introduced by
the previous patch. It must be stated, however, that if there is a BCM4306/3
with an rfkill switch (not yet proven), then the driver will need an
unload/reload cycle to turn the device back on.

After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current,
it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k!
Many thanks to Heiko Carstens for allowing this.
