Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).
This patch:
The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

Rewrite of the bcm43xx initialization routines.
This fixes several issues:
* up-down-up-down-up... stale data issue
(May fix some DHCP issues)
* Fix the init vs IRQ handler race (and remove the workaround)
* Fix init for cards with multiple cores (APHY)
As softmac has no internal PHY handling (unlike dscape),
this adds the file "phymode" to sysfs.
The active PHY can be selected by writing either a, b or g
to this file. Current PHY can be determined by reading from it.
* Fix the controller restart code.
Controller restart can now also be triggered through
echo 1 > /debug/bcm43xx/ethX/restart

As many people don't seem to like the locking "obfuscation"
in the bcm43xx driver, this patch removes it.
