This series adds the mac80211 component.  This is the new wireless
infrastructure for "softmac"-style wireless hardware.  It originated
as code contributed by Devicescape, and has been under development by
the community for well over a year.  Thanks are due especially to Jiri
Benc and Michael Wu as well as Johannes Berg and a number of other
contributors who have worked to hammer this into its current form.

This component was in -mm for most of the 2.6.21 cycle, with few
reported bugs.  The code is also currently available in Fedora rawhide
where it has performed well.

The wireless developers would like this to be considered for merge
in time for 2.6.22.  Patches for at least one mac80211-based driver
will follow shortly.

Please send out patches for review first.  Last time I looked through
the stuff in -mm there were a lot of things that were in pretty bad
shape still.
