remove a copy of 80211.h from staging.
We had a request to enable one of the realtek network drivers in staging in Fedora. After a quick lookover, I decided this wasn't such a great idea. In doing so though, I noticed we have 6 copies of ieee80211.h there now, Two drivers even have two copies of it. (Even worse, cleanups have been pointlessly happeni... 2 Jul 2010 23:24

[PATCH] arch/tile: updates to hardwall code from community feedback.
This change reflects some feedback from Arnd Bergmann, and also fixes a compat issue by removing the requirement that the cpumask pointer passed to the ioctl point to memory whose size is a multiple of sizeof(long), since that is awkward when userspace has a different sizeof(long). The compat_ptr() declaration w... 2 Jul 2010 23:24
