Ivo van Doorn 9f1661718c rt2x00: Add support for L2 padding during TX/RX
Some hardware require L2 padding between header and payload
because both must be aligned to a 4-byte boundary. This hardware
also is easier during the RX path since we no longer need to
move the entire payload but rather only the header to remove
the padding (mac80211 only wants the payload to be 4-byte aligned).

Ivo van Doorn 9eb4e21e28 rt2x00: Move iv_len into tx descriptor data
By placing the iv_len into the tx descriptor data and
by passing this data to the crypto IV handlers we can
save multiple calls to ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb()
and some if-statements when copying/removing the IV data
from the outgoing frame.

Ivo van Doorn 7b40982e23 rt2x00: Move code into seperate functions
Some functions have grown rapidly in size over the last time,
some of those functions (like the rt2x00queue_create_tx_descriptor)
will further increase in size soon, so it is best to start cutting
it into logical pieces.

Ivo van Doorn 9c3444d33e rt2x00: Move crypto TX descriptor handling to rt2x00crypto.c
Move all code which determines the right TX descriptor
fields specific to crypto support into rt2x00crypto.c.
This makes the code in rt2x00queue more simpler and
better concentrates all crypto code into a single location.

With this we can also remove some ifdefs in rt2x00queue.c
since the code inside the ifdef is either very small, or
only calling empty functions (see empty function definitions
in rt2x00lib.h).

Ivo van Doorn 1ce9cdac48 rt2x00: Optimize IV/EIV handling
IV and EIV belong to eachother and don't require
2 seperate fields. Instead they can logically be
merged into a single array with size 2.

With this approach we can simplify the code in
rt2x00crypto.c by using a single memcpy() when
copying the iv/eiv data. Additionally we can
move some code out of if-statements because the
if-statement would always be true.

Ivo van Doorn 2bb057d07a rt2x00: Implement HW encryption
Various rt2x00 devices support hardware encryption.

Most of them require the IV/EIV to be generated by mac80211,
but require it to be provided seperately instead of within
the frame itself. This means that rt2x00lib should extract
the data from the frame and place it in the frame descriptor.
During RX the IV/EIV is provided in the descriptor by the
hardware which means that it should be inserted into the
frame by rt2x00lib.
