I'll audit the list of ioctls and remove ones that may be objectionable,
and we'll go back through them after 2.6.22 and add back in ones that
are actually required.  Keep the API/ABI small and expand if necessary.
What's the timeframe required here?  Linville said a few days at the
most.

Ideally, before 2.6.22-rc1.  No set date, but generally it's a week or 
two after merge window opens.

But even if you miss -rc1, we MUST get in the ioctl removal before 
2.6.22 release.  This is certainly exception to the "nothing but bug 
fixes" rule -- or perhaps it is following the rule, if you consider the 
ioctls' existence a bug :)

Getting the CodingStyle fixes in before 2.6.22-rc1 would be nice, but, 
as I noted, lower priority than serious stuff like ioctl consideration.

There is also a bunch of updates pending. I'm sending them over this
week.

Dan: I'll be sending everything thats currently in our tree but not
mainline.

I'm going through the ioctls as we speak...  what else was pending?

All of the printk format warnings & cast warnings from 2.6.21-mm2 ??

Louis has a few on libertas-dev list.  We also need to pull wireless-2.6
into libertas before we send linville a pull request, I think.
