Remove pci_enable_io calls where they are redundant. The PCI bus driver
will set the right bits when the corresponding bus resource is activated.
Remove redundant pci_* function calls from suspend/resume methods. The
bus driver already saves and restores the PCI configuration.

ndis_scan() is called. However, ndis_scan() is invoked from softclock()
and cannot sleep. Move ndis_scan_results() to the ndis' driver's scan_end
hook instead.

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

sleepable context for net80211 driver callbacks. This removes the need for USB
and firmware based drivers to roll their own code to defer the chip programming
for state changes, scan requests, channel changes and mcast/promisc updates.
When a driver callback completes the hardware state is now guaranteed to have
been updated and is in sync with net80211 layer.
This nukes around 1300 lines of code from the wireless device drivers making
them more readable and less race prone.
The net80211 layer has been updated as follows
- all state/channel changes are serialised on the taskqueue.
- ieee80211_new_state() always queues and can now be called from any context
- scanning runs from a single taskq function and executes to completion. driver
callbacks are synchronous so the channel, phy mode and rx filters are
guaranteed to be set in hardware before probe request frames are
transmitted.

or URB_FUNCTION_CLASS_xxx with HAL preemption lock that means it's
non-sleepable during USB requests though usb2_do_request() requires a
sleep so it needs to send queries to the default pipe without those
interfaces to avoid sleep.
Based on the HAL preemption lock there is a problem on SMP machines
and causes a panic.

to call SURPRISE_REMOVED event. So it don't need to call

Now the NDISulator supports NDIS USB drivers that it've tested with
devices as follows:
- Anygate XM-142 (Conexant)
- Netgear WG111v2 (Realtek)
- U-Khan UW-2054u (Marvell)
- Shuttle XPC Accessory PN20 (Realtek)
- ipTIME G054U2 (Ralink)
- UNiCORN WL-54G (ZyDAS)
- ZyXEL G-200v2 (ZyDAS)
All of them succeeded to attach and worked though there are still some
problems that it's expected to be solved.
To use NDIS USB support, you should rebuild and install ndiscvt(8) and
if you encounter a problem to attach please set `hw.ndisusb.halt' to
0 then retry.
I expect no changes of the NDIS code for PCI, PCMCIA devices.
