[just sent to andrew/linus; patch omitted due to size]
Notables:
* merges wireless "softmac" layer, enabling support for newer wireless
hardware which requires software management of low-level details.
Not quite winmodem level, in terms of hardware simplicity, but close.
* 'make allmodconfig' build fix, in the sky2 update.
