[PATCH] WE-21 support (core API)

This is version 21 of the Wireless Extensions. Changelog :
	o finishes migrating the ESSID API (remove the +1)
	o netdev->get_wireless_stats is no more
	o long/short retry

This is a redacted version of a patch originally submitted by Jean
Tourrilhes.  I removed most of the additions, in order to minimize
future support requirements for nl80211 (or other WE successor).

+ * Thanks to Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> for fixing

+ * The issue : wireless_send_event() is often called in interrupt context,

+ * to feed those to Netlink.
+ * The skb_queue is interrupt safe, and its lock is not held while calling
+ * Netlink, so there is no possibility of dealock.
