This patch updates mac80211 and drivers to be multi-queue aware and
use that instead of the internal queue mapping. Also does a number
of cleanups in various pieces of the code that fall out and reduces
internal mac80211 state size.

This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit
information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra
memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit,
a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
is kept outside of the union.
A number of fixes were done by Ivo, as well as the rt2x00 part
of this patch.

This patch modifies struct ieee80211_tx_control to give band
info and the rate index (instead of rate pointers) to drivers.
This mostly serves to reduce the TX control structure size to
make it fit into skb->cb so that the fragmentation code can
put it there and we can think about passing it to drivers that
way in the future.
The rt2x00 driver update was done by Ivo, thanks.

trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.
this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.
for signal:
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB - dB difference to unspecified reference point
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
for noise we currently only have dBm:
IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.
i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

The hw_key_idx inside the ieee80211_key_conf structure does
not provide all the information drivers might need to perform
hardware encryption.
This is in particular true for rt2x00 who needs to know the
key algorithm and whether it is a shared or pairwise key.
By passing the ieee80211_key_conf pointer it assures us that
drivers can make full use of all information that it should know
about a particular key.
Additionally this patch updates all drivers to grab the hw_key_idx from
the ieee80211_key_conf structure.

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 adds printk messages with basic information about the driver being loaded.
This information includes a summary of the compiled-in features, which
simplifies bug-reporting and debugging a lot.
Also a firmware ID is printed. This is a unique identifier blob for a specific
version of the firmware. This ID is attached to a specific version of the firmware
blob in b43-fwcutter (see fwcutter git).
This helps users to select the right firmware for their device.
This also makes it possible to use automated scripts to fetch and extract the right
firmware for the driver. (The script will grep the .ko for the "Firmware-ID: xxx" string.)
While the driver might still support other versions of the firmware for backward
compatibility, this will always print out the officially supported version, which
people _should_ use.

We must drop any packets we are not able to encrypt.
We must not send them unencrypted or with an all-zero-key (which
basically is the same as unencrypted, from a security point of view).
This might only trigger shortly after resume before mac80211 reassociated
and reconfigured the keys.
It is safe to drop these packets, as the association they belong to
is not guaranteed anymore anyway.
This is a security fix in the sense that it prevents information leakage.

This patch makes suspend/resume work with the b43legacy driver.
We must not overwrite the MAC addresses in the init function, as this
would also overwrite the MAC on resume. With an all-zero MAC the device
firmware is not able to ACK any received packets anymore.
Fix this by moving the initializion stuff that must be done on init but
not on resume to the start function.
Also zero out filter_flags to make sure we don't have some flags
from a previous instance for a tiny timeframe until mac80211 reconfigures
them.

This zeros out all microcode related memory before loading
the microcode.
This also fixes initialization of the MAC control register.
The _only_ place where we overwrite the contents of the MAC control
register is at the beginning of b43_chip_init().
All other places must do read() -> mask/set -> write() to not
overwrite existing bits.
This also adds a longer delay for waiting for the microcode
to initialize itself. It seems that the current timeout is sufficient
on all available devices, but there's no real reason why we shouldn't
wait for up to one second. Slow embedded devices might exist.
Better safe than sorry.
While at it, fix naming of MACCTL values.

This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of
a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This
structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and
contains a variable length driver-use data area.
This has two advantages:
* removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better
for working with network namespaces and performance
* allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without
having to allocate own lists/hash tables

This fixes Bug #9414 for b43legacy. This patch is the equivalent of one
submitted earlier for b43.
Since addition of the rfkill callback, the LED associated with the off
switch on the radio has not worked for several reasons:
(1) Essential data in the rfkill structure were missing.
(2) The rfkill structure was initialized after the LED initialization.
(3) There was a minor memory leak if the radio LED structure was inited.
Once the above problems were fixed, additional difficulties were noted:
(4) The radio LED was in the wrong state at startup.
(5) The radio switch had to be manipulated twice for each state change.
(6) A circular mutex locking situation existed.
(7) If rfkill-input is built as a module, it is not automatically loaded.
