irda update 1/6, big vlsi_ir driver update:
<Following patch from Martin Diehl> * merge+sync with changes from recent kernels: pci_[sg]et_drvdata, __devexit_p, netdev->last_rx, irda header cleanup * add netdev tx_timeout which re-initializes the whole thing * add power management support consistent with pci driver api * major rework of the ring descriptor operations * make correct usage of consistent and streaming pci dma api * nuke last virt_to_bus() and friends * support MIR/FIR highspeed interaction pulse (SIP) * review all paths for packet-size issues (rx and tx) * fix an old issue requiring hw powercycle caused by a race between IrLAP and hardware when switching _back_ to default speed at LAP disconnect. This was opened by the complete async behaviour of netdev->xmit but didn't happen before your latency improvements went into the stack. * add driver status readout under /proc/driver/vlsi_ir/irda% For 2.5, this will probably go into driverfs once things have stabilized. * fix potential deadlock in speed changing code * make identical driver working for both 2.4 and 2.5 * add __attribute__((packed)) to hardware-exposed struct * add suggested pci_dma_prep_single() to flush cpu cache before streaming dma buffer gets reused for busmastering
