Hey OK so I propagated MQ support into compat-wireless based on
linux-next. I just hit a snag I forgot about and explains more
logically why I hadn't moved MQ support to bleeding edge:
debugfs_remove_recursive() needs some backport work as well. Last I
looked at it, I determined we could not directly backport it as it
relied on two internal globals on fs/debugfs/inode.c. I did copy over
the code onto compat/compat-2.6.26.c but ifdef'd it out for now.

One option is to disable debugfs on compat-wireless for older kernels
or if you figure out a way to backport that call without using a
global even better. For now I just can't work on this but I do welcome
patches if someone manages to pull off backporting it.
