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.

Split rt2x00lib_write_tx_desc() up into a TX descriptor initializor
and TX descriptor writer.
This split is required to properly allow mac80211 to move its
tx_control structure into the skb->cb array.
The rt2x00queue_create_tx_descriptor() function will read all tx control
information and convert it into a rt2x00 TX descriptor information structure.
After that function is complete, we have all information we needed from the
tx control structure and are free to start writing into the skb->cb array
for our own purposes.
rt2x00queue_write_tx_descriptor() will be in charge of really sending
the TX descriptor to the hardware and kicking the TX queue.

Due to usage of memmove() in rt2x00usb the descriptor can become
corrupted because it is being overwritten by the data part.
Overall having the descriptor in front of the frame is a bad idea,
we can however use the skb->cb array for this task, since that
contains more then enough room to hold the entire descriptor and
preserve the information long enough.
After this we can also cleanup the alignment code a bit to make it
work a bit more flexible to allow for all kinds of odd header lengths.

With the integration of the mac80211 multiqueue patches it has become possible that the
mac80211 layer modifies the number of TX queues that is stored inside the ieee80211_hw
structure, especially when multi-queue is not selected.
The rt2x00 drivers are not well suited to handle that situation, as they allocate the
queue structures before mac80211 has modified the number of queues it is going to use,
and also expect the number of allocated queues to match the hardware implementation.
Hence, ensure that rt2x00 maintains by itself the number of queues that the hardware
supports, and, at the same time, making is not dependent on the preservation of contents
inside a mac80211 structure.

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.

After sampling hundreds of RX frame descriptors,
the results were conclusive:
- The Ralink documentation regarding the SIGNAL and RSSI are wrong.
It turns out that of the 5 BBR registers, we should not use BBR0 and BBR1
for SIGNAL and RSSI respectively, but actually BBR1 and BBR2.
BBR0 does show values, but the exact meaning remains unclear,
but they cannot be translated into a SIGNAL or RSSI field.
BBR3, BBR4 and BBR5 are always 0, so their meaning is unknown.
As it turns out, the reported SIGNAL is the PLCP value, this
in contradiction to what was expected looking at rt2500pci which
only reported the PLCP values for OFDM rates and bitrate values
for CCK rates.
This means we should let the driver raise the flag about the contents
of the SIGNAL field so rt2x00lib can always do the right thing based
on what the driver reports.

We should not write 0 to the beacon sync register during
config_intf() since that will clear out the beacon interval
and forces the beacon to be send out at the lowest interval.
(reported by Mattias Nissler).
The side effect of the same bug was that while working with
multiple virtual AP interfaces a change for any of those
interfaces would disable beaconing untill an beacon update
was provided.
This is resolved by only updating the TSF_SYNC value during
config_intf(). In update_beacon() we disable beaconing
temporarily to prevent fake beacons to be transmitted.
Finally kick_tx_queue() will enable beaconing again.

Some architectures give problems when reading
RX frame descriptor words when the descriptor
is not aligned on a 4 byte boundrary.
Due to optimalizations for the ieee80211 payload
4 byte alignment, it is no longer guarenteed
that the descriptor is placed on the 4 byte
boundrary (In fact, for rt73usb it is absolutely
never aligned to 4 bytes, for rt2500usb it depends
on the length of the payload).
This will copy the descriptor to a 4 byte aligned
location before it is read for the first time.
This will also move the payload data alignment
in rt2x00usb (instead of inside the driver) where
it has always belonged.

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.

Rework the interface handling. Delete the interface structure
and replace it with a per-interface structure. This changes the
way rt2x00 handles the active interface drastically.
Copy ieee80211_bss_conf to the this rt2x00_intf structure during
the bss_info_changed() callback function. This will allow us to
reference it later, and removes the requirement for the device flag
SHORT_PREAMBLE flag which is interface specific.
Drivers receive the option to give the maximum number of virtual
interfaces the device can handle. Virtual interface support:
rt2400pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500usb: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt61pci: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt73usb: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces
At the moment none of the drivers support AP and STA interfaces
simultaneously, this is a hardware limitation so future support
will be very unlikely.
Each interface structure receives its dedicated beacon entry,
with this we can easily work with beaconing while multiple master
mode interfaces are currently active.
The configuration handlers for the MAC, BSSID and type are
often called together since they all belong to the interface
configuration. Merge the 3 configuration calls and cleanup
the API between rt2x00lib and the drivers. While we are cleaning
up the interface configuration anyway, we might as well clean up
the configuration handler as well.

This introduces a big queue handling overhaul, this also
renames "ring" to "queues".
Move queue handling into rt2x00queue.c and the matching header,
use Kerneldoc to improve rt2x00 library documentation.
Access to the queues is now protected under a spinlock, this
to prevent race conditions which could corrupt the indexing
system of the queue.
Each queue entry allocates x bytes for driver/device specific data,
this cleans up the queue structure significantly and improves
code readability.
rt2500usb no longer needs 2 entries in the beacon queue to correctly
send out the guardian byte. This is now handled in the entry specific
structure.
rt61 and rt73 now use the correct descriptor size for beacon frames,
since this data is written into the registers not the entire TXD
descriptor was used but instead of a subset of it named TXINFO.
Finally this also fixes numerous other bugs related to incorrect
beacon handling or beacon related code.
