So, now that mac80211 is merged upstream, I think it's
time to merge SSB and the b44-ssb port upstream.
Note that bcm43xx-mac80211 is _not_ ready for upstream, yet.

What do you think? I'd like to merge ssb as-is, although
the embedded-device parts are not quite finished, yet.
But they don't interfere with the non-embedded parts used
by b44 and the bcm43xx PCI cards.
So we _could_ remove the ssb-mips code, but I don't like to
do that for better maintainability. It doesn't hurt anyone IMO.

What does Ralf (MIPS maintainer) and Gary (Broadcom maintainer) think?

For my part, I'm not going to render even a tentative opinion without a 
link to actual code.

Last I saw of the code, and descriptions in IRC, it sounded sane.

I would like to put some test mileage behind the ssb.
We had a hard time testing it a while back, so we will try the latest.
Thanks,
Gary
