Currently, a function misnamed ieee80211_init_client() is used to handle
regulatory domain control. It is called from
ieee80211_register_hwmode(), which typically runs 2 or 3 times
(802.11a/b/g), but each time it iterates over all the modes.
This patch cleans this up and removes the confusion:
ieee80211_init_client was effectively renamed to
ieee80211_set_default_regdomain and is now run on a per-mode basis
(doesn't have to deal with netdevs). I also moved the regdomain handling
code into its own file and added some documentation.

Currently, CTS protection is partially implemented twice:
1. via prism2 ioctls, only used by hostapd
2. via STA beacon parsing, recorded in sta.use_protection but never used
(other than printed in debugfs)
Protection control should be implemented on a per-subif basis. For example,
a single physical device may be running a soft AP on one channel, and a STA
on another. The AP interface should use protection based on what hostapd told
it, and the STA interface should use protection based on beacon parsing.
These should operate independantly: one subif using protection should not
influence the other.
To implement this, I moved the use_protection flag into ieee80211_sub_if_data
and removed the device-global cts_protect_erp_frames flag.
I also made the PRISM2_PARAM_CTS_PROTECT_ERP_FRAMES write operation only
available for AP interfaces, to avoid any possibility of the user messing with
the behaviour of a STA.

The WEXT ioctl SIOCSIWRATE is not implemented in mac80211. This patch
adds the missing routine. It supports the 'auto' keyword, fixed rates,
and the combination of 'auto' and a fixed rate to select an upper bound.
Based on the patch from Mohamed Abbas <mabbas@linux.intel.com>.

Not used anywhere, hence dead code. wpa_supplicant has its

Interestingly, wpa_supplicant doesn't use it, but uses the
currently unsupported IW_AUTH_DROP_UNENCRYPTED. So I guess
it doesn't matter anyway.

These aren't used anywhere (hostapd, wpa_supplicant) and until we
have a proper interface to the rate control algorithms they don't
make much sense either since e.g. rc80211_lowest won't honour them.

At present, transmission rate information for mac80211 is available only
if verbose debugging is turned on, and then only in the logs. This patch
implements the SIOCGIWRATE ioctl, which adds the current transmission rate to
the output of iwconfig.
