this driver by introducing a flag saying we already stopped the device.
On my Soekris net4801, this took a ping -i 0.001 from spending 80% of
time in interrupt handling to 10% (approx numbers).
This was a particular problem for the net4801 because the tree
interfaces share the same interrupt, but it would be a problem for
any configuration where an unused if_sis interface shares an interrupt
with a busy device.
Other drivers may have similar problems.

The log message for rev.1.160 of kern/uipc_syscalls.c and associated
changes only claimed to add restrict qualifiers (which have no effect in
the kernel so they probably shouldn't be added), but the following
interface changes were also made:
- caddr_t to `void *' and `struct sockaddr_t *'
- `int *' to `socklen_t *'.
These interface changes are not quite null, and this fix is quick (like
the changes in uipc_syscalls 1.160) because it uses bogus casts instead
of complete bounds-checked conversions.
Things should be fixed better when the conversions can be done without
using the stack gap. linux_check_hdrincl() already uses the stack gap
and is fixed completely though the type mismatches in it were not fatal
(there were only fatal type mismatches from unopaquing pointers to
[o]sockaddr't's -- the difference between accept()'s args and oaccept()'s
args is now non-opaque, but this is not reflected in their args structs).
flag isn't set.
- In ndis_attach(), halt the NIC before exiting the routine. Calling
ndis_init() will bring it up again, and we don't want it running
(and potentially generating interrupts) until we're ready to deal
with it.
mbuf<->packet housekeeping. Instead, add a couple of extra fields
to the end of ndis_packet. These should be invisible to the Windows
driver module.
This also lets me get rid of a little bit of evil from ndis_ptom()
(frobbing of the ext_buf field instead of relying on the MEXTADD()
macro).
- Fix ndis_time().
- Implement NdisGetSystemUpTime().
- Implement RtlCopyUnicodeString() and RtlUnicodeStringToAnsiString().
- In ndis_getstate_80211(), use sc->ndis_link to determine connect
status.

- Add explicit cardbus attachment in if_ndis.c
- Clean up after moving bus_setup_intr() in ndis_attach().
- When setting an ssid, program an empty ssid as a 1-byte string
with a single 0 byte. The Microsoft documentation says this is
how you're supposed to tell the NIC to attach to 'any' ssid.
- Keep trace of callout handles for timers externally from the
ndis_miniport_timer structs, and run through and clobber them
all after invoking the haltfunc just in case the driver left one
running. (We need to make sure all timers are cancelled on driver
unload.)
- Handle the 'cancelled' argument in ndis_cancel_timer() correctly.
NDIS_80211_NET_INFRA_BSS: I accidentally reversed them during
transcription from the Microsoft headers. Note that the
driver will default to BSS mode, and you need to specify
'mediaopt adhoc' to get it into IBSS mode.
