Subject: [088/143] mac80211: Add define for TX headroom reserved by mac80211 itself.

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Gertjan van Wingerde <gwingerde@...il.com>

commit d24deb2580823ab0b8425790c6f5d18e2ff749d8 upstream.

Add a definition of the amount of TX headroom reserved by mac80211 itself
for its own purposes. Also add BUILD_BUG_ON to validate the value.
This define can then be used by drivers to request additional TX headroom
in the most efficient manner.
