Subject: RE: [PATCH] staging: brcm80211: Make CFLAGS explicit

In a split mac dongle, the HIGH code runs on the host processor while the LOW code runs on the dongle and the two talk across an RPC API over SDIO or USB.

On a NIC both HIGH and LOW run on the host and the RPC API remains identical but the APIs become function straight calls.

This lets us use the same code and API in both models.

Getting some documentation out on this is in TODO list.
