This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.
Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.
Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.
I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

This patch implements the cfg80211 hooks for configuring beaconing
on an access point interface in mac80211. While doing so, it fixes
a number of races that could badly crash the machine when the
beacon is changed while being requested by the driver.

Drivers that support mixed AP/STA operation may well need to
know the type of a virtual interface when iterating over them.
The easiest way to support that is to move the interface type
variable into the vif structure.

This implements cfg80211's get_key() to allow retrieving the sequence
counter for a TKIP or CCMP key from userspace. It also cleans up and
documents the associated low-level driver interface.

This implements the cfg80211 change_interface hook that changes the

Might as well rename ieee80211_cfg.h to cfg.h to keep things consistent.
