Falcon can generate events for LASI interrupts from the PHY, but in

Only the XMAC on Falcon needs help from the driver to poll and reset

NICs firmware takes care of the XAUI link. Also, an XMAC interrupt
currently schedules a work item which simply clears a flag
(efx_nic::mac_up) to be checked by the regular monitor (or the next
link reconfiguration, if that is sooner).
Rename the flag to xmac_poll_required, changing its sense. Remove the
needless indirection and just set the flag immediately. Call
falcon_xmac_poll() directly where required.
Add a new generic operation mac_op::check_fault to check the link
outside of regular monitoring, as required during self-tests.

macvlan: implement bridge, VEPA and private mode
This allows each macvlan slave device to be in one
of three modes, depending on the use case:
MACVLAN_PRIVATE:
The device never communicates with any other device
on the same upper_dev. This even includes frames
coming back from a reflective relay, where supported
by the adjacent bridge.
MACVLAN_VEPA:
The new Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) mode,
we assume that the adjacent bridge returns all frames
where both source and destination are local to the
macvlan port, i.e. the bridge is set up as a reflective
relay.
Broadcast frames coming in from the upper_dev get
flooded to all macvlan interfaces in VEPA mode.
We never deliver any frames locally.
MACVLAN_BRIDGE:
We provide the behavior of a simple bridge between
different macvlan interfaces on the same port. Frames
from one interface to another one get delivered directly
and are not sent out externally. Broadcast frames get
flooded to all other bridge ports and to the external
interface, but when they come back from a reflective
relay, we don't deliver them again.
Since we know all the MAC addresses, the macvlan bridge
mode does not require learning or STP like the bridge
module does.

iwlagn: Use iwl_write8() for CSR_INT_COALESCING register
CSR_INT_COALESCING previously had only one, but now has two single-byte fields.
With only one single-byte field (lowest order byte) it was okay to write via
iwl_write32(), but now with two, an iwl_write32() to the lower order field
clobbers the other field (odd-address CSR_INT_PERIODIC_REG, offset 0x5), and an
iwl_write32() to CSR_INT_PERIODIC_REG could clobber the lowest byte of the
next-higher register (CSR_INT, offset 0x8).
Fortunately, no bad side effects have been produced by the iwl_write32()
usage, due to order of execution (low order byte was always written before
higher order byte), and the fact that writing "0" to the low byte of the
next higher register has no effect (only action is when writing "1"s).
Nonetheless, this cleans up the accesses so no bad side effects might occur
in the future, if execution order changes, or more bit fields get added to
CSR_INT_COALESCING.
Add some comments regarding periodic interrupt usage.

ath5k: Fix I/Q calibration
The sign of correction coefficients was lost in the calculations, which
caused high packetloss in 802.11a mode after the results were applied.
Fixed by removing unneccesary and broken AND with a bit mask.

b43: Rewrite DMA Tx status handling sanity checks
This rewrites the error handling policies in the TX status handler.
It tries to be error-tolerant as in "try hard to not crash the machine".
It won't recover from errors (that are bugs in the firmware or driver),
because that's impossible. However, it will return a more or less useful
error message and bail out. It also tries hard to use rate-limited messages
to not flood the syslog in case of a failure.

ath9k: This patch fix RX unpadding for any received frame.
It has been tested with a 802.11 frame generator and by checking the FCS field
of each received frame with the value reported by the Atheros hardware. This
patch is useful if you are trying to analyze non standard 802.11 frame going
over the air.

ssb: Unconditionally log results of core scans
At present, the results of an SSB core scan are only logged when
CONFIG_SSB_DEBUG is "y". As this may not be set in a distro kernel,
it is difficult interpret many problems posted in bug reports or in
help forums.
