This series contains a few fixes for cfg80211 such as another
fix for parsing country IEs, but mostly contains work to help
drivers build a more useful reg_notifier(). While at it we remove
the CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY as we are now on road to 2.6.30.
This v2 of this series changes the way we deal with custom regulatory
domains and require them to be passed to cfg80211 prior to wiphy
registration. The trick and emphasis here is to use the channel orig_*
values to ensures they are respected. Another nice advantage of this
approach is after a regulatory_hint or a custom regulatory hint a user
regulatory_hint() will only be applied against the driver's regulatory
domain, not the previous user regulatory domain. This should allow
users who suspend/resume to travel and change regulatory domains manually
to help compliance without loosing channels based on previous locations.
Thanks to Johannes for his pointers.
