This patch (co-developed by Dan Williams and Holger Schurig) uses a kfifo
object for events and a swapping buffer scheme for the command response to
preserve the zero-copy semantics of the CF driver and keep memory usage low.
The main thread should only ever touch the buffer indexed by priv->resp_idx,
while the interface code is free to write to the second buffer, then swap
priv->resp_idx under the driver spinlock. The firmware specs only permit
one in-flight command, so there will only ever be one command response to
process at a time.

Don't store an (hardware base) u8 value in bss_descriptor, but just an

After my bit scan re-writing the SIOCSIWSCAN wext ioctl no longer supported
scanning for a specific SSID. However, wpa_supplicant is a possible user of
this ioctl, so here is code that add's this.
While passing, removed even more of the debugfs-based scanning. You can (and
should) the SIOCSIWSCAN to ask for scans, so there is no need for
proprietary interfaces for scanning. And, besides, the scan result couldn't
be used further, e.g. not for associating.

This patch moves re-works the implementation of event subscription
via debugfs. For this:
* it tells cmd.c and cmdresp.c about CMD_802_11_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT
* removes lots of low-level cmd stuff from debugfs.c
* create unified functions to read/write snr, rssi, bcnmiss and
failcount
* introduces #define's for subscription event bitmask values
* add a function to search for a specific element in an IE
(a.k.a. TLV)
* add a function to find out the size of the TLV. This is needed
because lbs_prepare_and_send_command() has an argument for a
data buffer, but not for it's lengths and TLVs can be, by
definition, vary in size.
* fix a bug where it was not possible to disable an event

Some versions of gcc replace strstr() calls with a single-character `needle'
parameter by strchr() behind our back. This causes a link error if strchr() is
defined as an inline function in <asm/string.h> (e.g. on m68k):
| drivers/built-in.o: In function `libertas_parse_chan':
| linux/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/debugfs.c:209: undefined reference to `strchr'
| drivers/built-in.o: In function `libertas_parse_ssid':
| linux/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/debugfs.c:260: undefined reference to `strchr'
Avoid this by explicitly calling strchr() instead.
Also include <linux/string.h>, because this file calls lots of str*() routines.

types.h contains the same amount of CMD_RET_xxx and CMD_xxx definitions.
They contains the same info: the firmware command opcode and, when the
firmware sends back a result, the command opcode ORed with 0x8000.
Having the same data twice in the source code is redundant and can lead to
errors (e.g. if you update or delete only one instance). This patch removed
all CMD_RET_xxx definitions and introduces a simple CMD_RET() macro.

Actually, this patch removev wlan_dev_t totally and puts the used variables
of it directly into wlan_private. That reduces one level of indirection and
looks a little bit simpler. It's now "priv->card" and not
"priv->wlan_dev.card" and "priv->dev" instead of "priv->wlan_dev.netdev"
Changed two occurences of "((wlan_private *) dev->priv)->wlan_dev.netdev"
into "dev", because I didn't see the point in doing pointer-ping-pong.
The variables "ioport", "upld_rcv" and "upld_type" where unused. They have
