Subject: [ 03/59] rtlwifi: Add missing DMA buffer unmapping for PCI drivers

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net>

commit 673f7786e205c87b5d978c62827b9a66d097bebb upstream.

In https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42976, a system with driver
rtl8192se used as an AP suffers from "Out of SW-IOMMU space" errors. These
are caused by the DMA buffers used for beacons never being unmapped.

This bug was also reported at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/961618
