2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Gertjan van Wingerde <[email protected]> commit 7a4a77b7771164d61ce702a588067d1e1d66db7c upstream. Current rt2x00 drivers may result in a "ieee80211_tx_status: headroom too small" error message when a frame needs to be properly aligned before transmitting it. This is because the space needed to ensure proper alignment isn't requested from mac80211. Fix this by adding sufficient amount of alignment space to the amount of headroom requested for TX frames.
