Subject: [PATCH 0/2] b43legacy - remove unnecessary MMIO references in the hot path and fix locking problem.

The first of these two patches is by Stefano Brivio and removes extra MMIO
references in the interrupt routine. I am submitting it on Stefano's behalf
because I was able to test it, and his patch touches the routine that patch 2 fixes.

The second patch fixes a locking problem introduced by commit
abb1d2bca0fc429c136747a64e675dd4d8906f36 "mac80211: unify config_interface and
bss_info_changed". After that patch was applied, b43legacy would lock the system
upon booting.
