All accessor's different methods are now selected with C code and unused

compiler to validate the syntax of the whole code, making it cleaner and
easier to understand, and ultimately allowing people to define
configuration symbols in terms of variables if they really want to
dynamically support multiple bus configurations at the same time (with

We're now starting to have quite a number of places that do skb_pull
followed immediately by an skb_postpull_rcsum. We can merge these two
operations into one function with skb_pull_rcsum. This makes sense
since most pull operations on receive skb's need to update the
checksum.
I've decided to make this out-of-line since it is fairly big and the
fast path where hardware checksums are enabled need to call
csum_partial anyway.
Since this is a brand new function we get to add an extra check on the
len argument. As it is most callers of skb_pull ignore its return
value which essentially means that there is no check on the len
argument.

Move the netif_carrier_off() call from tg3_init_one()->
tg3_init_link_config() to tg3_open() as is the convention for most other
network drivers.
I was getting a panic after a tg3 device failed to initialize due to DMA
failure. The oops pointed to the link watch queue with spinlock debugging
enabled. Without spinlock debugging, the Oops didn't occur.
I suspect that the link event was getting queued but not executed until
after the DMA test had failed and the device was freed. The link event was
then operating on freed memory, which could contain anything. With this
patch applied, the Oops no longer occurs.

This patch modifies the driver to support the ipw2200-fw-3.0 image format.
The 3.0 fw image does not add any new capabilities, but as a result of
image format changes, it should fix two problems experienced by users:
1) Race conditions with the request_firmware interface and udev/hotplug
are improved as only a single request_firmware call is now required to
load the firmware and microcode (vs. 3 separate calls previously)
2) The monitor mode firmware (sniffer) is now packaged with the correct
boot image so it can now function without frequent restarts.
Note: Once you apply this patch, you will also need to upgrade your
firmware image to the 3.0 version available from:
