There was an artificial restriction on the card/adapter id to only 6 bits but all the AP commands do support adapter ids with 8 bit. This patch removes this restriction to 64 adapters and now up to 256 adapter can get addressed. Some of the ioctl calls work on the max number of cards possible (which was 64). These ioctls are now deprecated but still supported. All the defines, structs and ioctl interface declarations have been kept for compabibility. There are now new ioctls (and defines for these) with an additional '2' appended which provide the extended versions with 256 cards supported.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
