Dave,

Three fixes from Johannes, intended for 2.6.28... One fixes a 32/64
issue in libertas_tf, another removes a mac80211 callback only used
by iwlwifi which is not obviously needed and which is causing locking
issues, and a final one fixes some mysterious DMA alignment problems
that have been plaguing iwlwifi for some time.

Please let me know if there are problems!

Thanks,

John

P.S. The libertas_tf is actually already in net-next-2.6. Also,
the other fixes cause merge conflicts with net-next-2.6 -- I'll
included a merge-test branch in wireless-next-2.6 to indicates how
those conflicts should be resolved.
