SRU Justification:

As part of the linux-backports-modules package, we periodically provide
an updated compat-wireless stack. linux-backports-modules already has
pending pull requests to add the 2.6.36 compat-wireless stack to both
Lucid and Maverick LBM. It's come to our attention that future requests
for newer versions of the compat-wireless stack will be coming down the
pipeline. In preparation, add infrastructure to start tracking the
2.6.37 compat-wireless stack for Lucid.

Impact:
There is no impact at the moment as we're just adding the infrastructure
to enable the 2.6.37 compat-wireless stack. We will wait to actually
enable and build it until 2.6.37 is final. However, once we do enable
this, linux-backports-modules is an elective install and a 2.6.37
compat-wireless update hasn't existed previously, so there should be no
risk of regression.

Test Case: Flip the bit to build the compat-wireless-2.6.37 stack in the
linux-backports-modules package and confirm that a 2.6.37
compat-wireless binary is created.

I'd like to note that I've generated this on top of the previously
submitted pull request from myself which adds support for the
2.6.36 compat-wireless stack to Lucid LBM [1].

Thanks,
Leann
