at kernel boot and on-the-fly, but we only documented the elevator= boot
parameter. Add a quick how-to on doing it on the fly.

Add some sanity checking. truesize should be at least sizeof(struct
sk_buff) plus the current packet length. If not, then truesize is
seriously mangled and deserves a kernel log message.
Currently we'll do the check for release of stream socket buffers.
But we can add checks to more spots over time.

If we use plain skb_trim(), that's wrong, because if
the SKB is cloned, and it can be because we unshared
it in the caller, we have to allow reallocation. The
pskb_trim*() family of routines is therefore the most
appropriate here.

This fixes a spinlock recursion on receiving a reassoc request.
On reassoc, the softmac calls back into the driver. This results in a
driver lock recursion. This schedules the assoc workqueue, instead
of calling it directly.
Probably, we should defer the _whole_ management frame processing
to a tasklet or workqueue, because it does several callbacks into the driver.
That is dangerous.
This fix should go into linus's tree, before 2.6.17 is released, because it
is remote exploitable (DoS by crash).

2.6.17-rc1 changed the title for the entry CONFIG_NET_RADIO. I
personally disagree with this change and want it reverted. Patch for
2.6.17-rc1.
Rationale : WIRELESS_EXT is an invisible option. Therefore,
the only way for a user to enable it is via NET_RADIO. Some users need
to do that for out-of-tree drivers. Therefore it should be mentionned
in the title of the option.
Rationale2 : the option just below is called "Wireless
Extension API over RtNetlink". Some users may confuse this option for
the main "Wireless Extension" option. Therefore reverting this change
help disambiguate the relation between those two options.

Airo firmware versions >= 5.30.17 send re-association events to the
driver that are currently unrecognized, causing spurious disassociation
events to be sent to user space. Loss of sync due to scan requests also
results in disassociation events sent to user space. This patch traps
those two events; suppressing sync-loss on scan, and sending the correct
association event on re-association notifications.
