Commit a197b59ae6 (mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not
configured) made page allocator to return NULL if GFP_DMA is set but
CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is disabled.

Since there is no restrictions for DMA on ep93xx, we can fix this by just
removing the GFP_DMA flag from the call.

We can use simply kmalloc() to allocate the buffers. This also simplifies the
code and allows us to perform DMA sync operations more easily.
Memory is allocated with only GFP_KERNEL since there are no DMA allocation
restrictions on this platform.

We use priv->mutex to avoid race conditions between chswitch_done()
and mac_channel_switch(), when marking channel switch in
progress. But chswitch_done() can be called in atomic context
from rx_csa() or with mutex already taken from commit_rxon().
To fix remove mutex from chswitch_done() and use atomic bitops
for marking channel switch pending.

When SR-IOV is enabled, i350 devices fail to pass traffic. This is due to
the driver attempting to enable RSS on the PF device, which is not
supported by the i350.
When max_vfs is specified on an i350 adapter, set the number of RSS queues
to 1.
This issue affects 2.6.39 as well.

Setting tx power can be deferred during scan or changing channel.
If after that correct tx power settings will not be sent to device,
we can observe transmission problems and timeouts. Force to send
tx power settings also after partial rxon change, to assure device
always be configured with up-to-date settings.

This patch fixes 802.11n stability and performance regression we have
since 2.6.35. It boost performance on my 5GHz N-only network from about
5MB/s to 8MB/s. Similar percentage boost can be observed on 2.4 GHz.
These are test results of 5x downloading of approximately 700MB iso
image:
vanilla: 5.27 5.22 4.94 4.47 5.31 ; avr 5.0420 std 0.35110
patched: 8.07 7.95 8.06 7.99 7.96 ; avr 8.0060 std 0.055946
This was achieved with NetworkManager configured to do not perform
periodical scans, by configuring constant BSSID. With periodical scans,
after some time, performance downgrade to unpatched driver level, like
in example below:
patched: 7.40 7.61 4.28 4.37 4.80 avr 5.6920 std 1.6683
However patch still make better here, since similar test on unpatched
driver make link disconnects with below messages after some time:
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 1)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 2)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 3)
wlan1: authentication with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f timed out
On 2.6.35 kernel patch helps against connection hangs with messages:

The bonding driver is multiqueue enabled, in which each queue represents a slave
to enable optional steering of output frames to given slaves against the default
output policy. However, it needs to reset the skb->queue_mapping prior to
queuing to the physical device or the physical slave (if it is multiqueue) could
wind up transmitting on an unintended tx queue
Change Notes:
v2) Based on first pass review, updated the patch to restore the origional queue
mapping that was found in bond_select_queue, rather than simply resetting to
zero. This preserves the value of queue_mapping when it was set on receive in
the forwarding case which is desireable.
v3) Fixed spelling an casting error in skb->cb
v4) fixed to store raw queue_mapping to avoid double decrement
v5) Eric D requested that ->cb access be wrapped in a macro.

This reverts commit b1c43f82c5.
It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues.
It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can
cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af: "tty: fix endless
work loop when the buffer fills up").
It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf()
function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code,
and didn't actually check for the error in the caller.
And it didn't actually work at all. BenH bisected down odd tty behavior
to it:
"It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X
server for me, possibly related to PTYs. For example, cat'ing a
large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a
loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace
data in the quoted bits further down).
...
Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the
flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because
the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop
forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer
process that could have emptied the PTY."
which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af.
Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.
