[PATCH] airo driver: fix races, oops, etc..

Hi !

Here's a patch against Linus current airo.c, it adds back some fixes I
did during OLS on the previous version of this driver. I couldn't test
this new 'fixed' version though as I don't have the airo card anymore:

- Initialize the work_struct structures used by the driver
- Change most of schedule_work() to schedule_delayed_work(). The
problem with schedule_work() is that the worker_thread will never
schedule() if the work keeps getting added back to the list by the
callback, which typically happened with this driver when the xmit
work gets scheduled while the semaphore was used by a pending
command. Note that -ac tree has a modified version of this driver
that gets rid of this "over-smart" work queue stuff and uses normal
spinlock instead, probably at the expense of some latency...
- Fix a small signed vs. unsigned char issue
- Remove bogus pci_module_init(), use pci_register_driver() instead and
add missing pci_unregister_driver() so the module can now be removed
without leaving stale references (and thus avoid an oops next time
the driver list is walked by the device core).

Jeff, if you are ok with these, please send to Linus,

Ben
