Subject: [PATCH] b43legacy: Fix DMA TX bounce buffer copying

This patch is adapted from the submission by Michael Buesch <[email protected]>
for a bounce-buffer copying problem with b43.

John,

Full testing of this patch is a problem as the bounce buffer can come into
play only when the test machine has more than 1 GB RAM. When I coded the
original bounce-buffer code for bcm43xx, I had such a machine, but it
died. I tested the patch on a machine with 256 MB and it works. As it
is a line-by-line copy of Michael's patch, it should be OK. In any case, this
is 2.6.33 material.
