compat: remove wrong backport of kfree_rcu
Backporting kfree_rcu() in compat does not work as
struct rcu_head->func is always interpreted as a pointer in older
kernel versions, but when using kfree_rcu() it is set to an offset.
rcu_head->func is used in some functions in the kernel not backported
by compat-wireless.
In older kernel versions in __rcu_reclaim just the else path is available.
compat: do not include kstrto* for kernel >= 2.6.38.4
kstrto* went into kernel 2.6.38.4 and causes conflicts with the version
included in compat-wireless. We use strict_strtol to check if kstrto*
is already available.
kstrto* was not moved to compat-2.6.38.h because kernel version <=
2.6.38.3 needs this backport and some distributions like Ubuntu still
ship an older version of this kernel.

compat/kstrtox.c is copied from lib/kstrtox.c in the Linux kernel.
This is needed by some drivers now.
For kernel < 2.6.26 div_u64 needs to be backported.
We should not copy the files like kstrtox.c, kfifo.c and so on to
compat/ by hand, but copy them when creating compat-wireless along with
the wireless drivers.

This is a copy of the hole kfifo implementation from a recent kernel

any kfifo related stuff any more.

compat: backport pci_is_pcie and pci_pcie_cap
compat_is_pcie already did the same thing as pci_is_pcie, but this
method is now in kernel so the mainline drivers should use this
function instead of accessing the member in the struct directly. We
backported this function for older kernels.
pci_pcie_cap is used in rtlwifi so we also need this.

compat: fix pm_qos_params compile error on 2.6.35
Linux 2.6.35 pm_qos_params.h is missing a #ifndef/define/endif around
its header file contents, causing a compile error when its functions
are overwritten by macros in the compat header files.
Fix this by adding these to the compat version of this header file.
This patch moves code out from wireless drivers where two different
functions are defined in three code locations for the same purpose and
provides a common function to sign extend a 32-bit value.

In the error path, _request_firmware sets
firmware_p to NULL rather than *firmware_p,
which leads to passing a freed firmware
struct to drivers when the firmware file
cannot be found. Fix this.

compat: fix device_lock functions on non rt kernel
CONFIG_NONE and CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY are not added by the last RT
patch. I have not found any references to CONFIG_NONE, probably
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE was meant, but that is also wrong like
CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY. These two options are also in the normal kernel
config system without the rt patch.
This patch only checks for KConfig options added by the rt patch, but a
rt-patch user could also select PREEMPT_NONE or PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, and
compat-wireless will not build. I do not think this will hapen often, so leave
it like this.

In kernel <= 2.6.28 the member napi_list in struct net_device is only
availabe if CONFIG_NETPOLL is set. We should initialize it only if it
is available.
pci-aspm.h was introduced in kernel 2.6.25 and is used by the ath5k and iwlwifi driver.
v2: Do not place the empty functions into pci-aspm.h. Now we do not
have to change pci-aspm.h when it changes in the mainline kernel only
compat-2.6.26.h has to be changed.
This fixes a compilation warning on Ubuntu's 2.6.24
kernel which added the PM_EVENT_SLEEP even though upstream
Linux 2.6.24.7 (the last 2.6.24) does not have it. Its
a trivial change and I'm willing to support it to avoid
compilation.

compat: add br_port_exists() and ask for inclusion upstream
The br_port_exists() call is used internally on private bridge
code on net/bridge/ to check if a netdevice is a bridge port.
The way to check if a netdevice is a bridge port has changed
for 2.6.36 from checking the netdev->br_port pointer to
checking for a IFF_BRIDGE_PORT flag on the netdev->priv_flags.
Instead of requiring backport code to ifdef the checks lets
move the private br_port_exists() to a public header accessible
by drivers and consistantly use it to check for the bridge
port.
I'll submit a patch upstream to move br_port_exists() to a public
header so that we don't have to later even require a patch on
backported code. We'll see if it gets accepted though.

compat: Fix panic caused by NULL pointer derefence in rtnl_fill_ifinfo
get stats netdev ops is blindy called for older kernels (< 2.6.29) and
so assigning a NULL pointer from netdev_attach_ops causes a NULL pointer
dereference.
By default, netdev alloc provides an internal stats reference. So fill
this only if ndo_get_stats is defined.
