There are two structures named wmm_info and wmm_param, they are used while
parsing the beacon frame. (Check the function ieee802_11_parse_elems).
Certain APs like D-link does not set the fifth bit in WMM IE.
While sending the association request to n-only ap it checks for wmm_ie.
If it is set then only ieee80211_ht_cap is sent during association request.
So n-only association fails.
And this patch fixes this problem by copying the wmm_info to wmm_ie,
which enables the "wmm" flag in iee80211_send_assoc.

[IPSEC]: Fix catch-22 with algorithm IDs above 31
As it stands it's impossible to use any authentication algorithms
with an ID above 31 portably. It just happens to work on x86 but
fails miserably on ppc64.
The reason is that we're using a bit mask to check the algorithm
ID but the mask is only 32 bits wide.
After looking at how this is used in the field, I have concluded
that in the long term we should phase out state matching by IDs
because this is made superfluous by the reqid feature. For current
applications, the best solution IMHO is to allow all algorithms when
the bit masks are all ~0.
The following patch does exactly that.
This bug was identified by IBM when testing on the ppc64 platform
using the NULL authentication algorithm which has an ID of 251.

hamradio: Remove unneeded and deprecated cli()/sti() calls in dmascc.c
These cli()/sti() calls are made in start_timer() and are therefor
redundant since the register_lock is now used to protect register
io from within scc_isr() and write_scc() (where all calls to
start_timer() originate).

[DCCP]: Convert do_gettimeofday() to getnstimeofday().
What do_gettimeofday() does is to call getnstimeofday() and
to convert the result from timespec{} to timeval{}.
We do not always need timeval{} and we can convert timespec{}
when we really need (to print).

[NETNS]: The ip6_fib_timer can work with garbage on net namespace stop.
The del_timer() function doesn't guarantee, that the timer callback
is not active by the time it exits.
Thus, the fib6_net_exit() may kfree() all the data, that is required
by the fib6_run_gc(). The race window is tiny, but slab poisoning can
trigger this bug.
Using del_timer_sync() will cure this.

After that, these callers convert the result again to msec.
Use getnstimeofday() and convert the units at once.

[NET]: Expose netdevice dev_id through sysfs
Expose dev_id to userspace, because it helps to disambiguate between
interfaces where the MAC address is unique.
This should allow us to simplify the handling of persistent naming for
S390 network devices in udev -- because it can depend on a simple
attribute of the device like the other match criteria, rather than
having a special case for SUBSYSTEMS=="ccwgroup".
