rt2x00pci allocates DMA for descriptor and data, rt61pci doesn't use this for the beacon, but it can use the descriptor part as temporary buffer instead of using pskb_expand_head(). Using this temporary buffer is obviously much better then reallocating the skb buffer... At the same time we can set the data length for the beacon queue at 0, to make sure no DMA is allocated for data (but just for the descriptor).
