+Subject: iwl3945: remove plcp check
+
+From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>
+
+commit c91d01556f52255a31575be0cb1981c92a2a5028 upstream.
+
+Patch fixes:
+https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=654599
+
+Many users report very low speed problem on 3945 devices,
+this patch fixes problem, but only for some of them.
+
+For unknown reason, sometimes after hw scanning, device is not able
+to receive frames at high rate. Since plcp health check may request
+hw scan to "reset radio", performance problem start to be observable
+after update kernel to .35, where plcp check was introduced.
+
+Bug reporter confirmed that removing plcp check fixed problem for him.

+Subject: net: deinit automatic LIST_HEAD
+
+From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>
+
+commit ceaaec98ad99859ac90ac6863ad0a6cd075d8e0e upstream.
+
+commit 9b5e383c11b08784 (net: Introduce
+unregister_netdevice_many()) left an active LIST_HEAD() in
+rollback_registered(), with possible memory corruption.
+
+Even if device is freed without touching its unreg_list (and therefore
+touching the previous memory location holding LISTE_HEAD(single), better
+close the bug for good, since its really subtle.
+
+(Same fix for default_device_exit_batch() for completeness)
