[TRIVIAL] cli_sti in drivers_net_hamradio_bpqether.c

[Rusty Trivial Russell]

[ Guys, this has been sitting in my Trivial queue for a while, with
  several others.  The patch *looks* ok: apply it and wait for someone
  to whine, or discard it?

  If someonw with this card wants to test this and verify it works on
  an SMP kernel, even if not an SMP box, I'd be happier.

  I guess it depends on when we are going to rip out save_flags et al
  entirely.  Linus? ]

From:  Chris Wilson <[e-mail]>

  As part of the Linux Kernel Janitors project, I would like to submit my
  patch for bpqether.c.
  
  The document Documentation/cli-sti-removal.txt says that cli() should no
  longer be used to disable interrupts. This patch removes all references to 
  cli() and {save,restore}_flags.
  
  - added a static spinlock to protect bpq_devices
  - changed cli/sti and {save,restore}_flags to taking the spinlock and 
    disabling interrupts with spin_lock_irqsave
  - included my previous patch for proc_net_create, but as a separate hunk, 
    so if you've already applied then just ignore the rejected hunk.
  
  I have verified that the patched driver compiles without warnings, but 
  since I don't have the hardware I can't test it. Please treat with 
  caution.
  
  Perhaps there is another mailing list which I should send this to, in
  order to try and find kind souls to test it?
  
  Cheers, Chris.
