delay the removal of this symbol export by one more kernel release,
giving external modules such as VirtualBox a chance to stop using it.

Following the deprecation schedule the a.out ELF interpreter support
is removed now with this patch. a.out ELF interpreters were an transition
feature for moving a.out systems to ELF, but they're unlikely to be still
needed. Pure a.out systems will still work of course. This allows to
simplify the hairy ELF loader.

Over two years ago, the Linux USB developers stated that they believed
there was no way to create a USB kernel driver that was not under the
GPL. This patch moves the USB apis to enforce that decision.
There are no known closed source USB drivers in the wild, so this patch
should cause no problems.

This patch adds support for new firmware.
Old firmware is still supported until July 2008.
To get new firmware, go to
ftp://ftp.linksys.com/opensourcecode/wrt150nv11/1.51.3/
and download the tarball. We don't have a smaller tarball, yet.
That will be fixed later.
You can extract firmware out of the "wl_ap.o" file contained
in this tarball using latest fwcutter. You must pass the option
--unsupported to fwcutter.
Fwcutter-010 with official support for a new firmware image will
be released soon.

This makes the new PID TX rate control algorithm the default instead of the
rc80211_simple rate control algorithm. The simple algorithm was flawed in
several ways: it wasn't responsive at all and didn't age the information it was
relying on properly. The PID algorithm allows us to tune characteristics such
as responsiveness by adjusting parameters and was found to generally behave
better.
The default algorithm can be overridden to select simple instead. Which
ever algorithm is the default is included as part of the mac80211
module automatically. The other algorithm (simple vs. pid) can
be selected for inclusion as well. If EMBEDDED is selected then
the choice is available to have no default specified and neither
algorithm included in mac80211. The default algorithm can be set
through a modparam.
While at it, mark rc80211-simple as deprecated, and schedule it
for removal.

Remove MSI support from the mthca driver, as scheduled. There is no
reason to use MSI instead of MSI-X, since MSI-X performs better. No
one has spoken up since MSI support was deprecated in commit f6be6fbe
("IB/mthca: Schedule MSI support for removal"), so apparently the MSI
support is unused.
