Using the new mac80211 functionality, this makes
iwlwifi handle unicast PS buffering correctly.
The device works like this:
* when a station goes to sleep, the microcode notices
this and marks the station as asleep
* when the station is marked asleep, the microcode
refuses to transmit to the station and rejects all
frames queued to it with the failure status code
TX_STATUS_FAIL_DEST_PS (a previous patch handled
this correctly)
* when we need to send frames to the station _although_
it is asleep, we need to tell the ucode how many,
and this is asynchronous with sending so we cannot
just send the frames, we need to wait for all other
frames to be flushed, and then update the counter
before sending out the poll response frames. This
is handled partially in the driver and partially in
mac80211.
In order to do all this correctly, we need to
* keep track of how many frames are pending for each
associated client station (avoid doing it for other
stations to avoid the atomic ops)
* tell mac80211 that we driver-block the PS status
while there are still frames pending on the queues,
and once they are all rejected (due to the dest sta
being in PS) unblock mac80211

Since we have a TODO item to make all station
management dependent on virtual interfaces, I
figured I'd start with pushing such a change
to drivers before more drivers start using the
ieee80211_find_sta() API with a hw pointer and
cause us grief later on.
For now continue exporting the old API in form
of ieee80211_find_sta_by_hw(), but discourage
its use strongly.

This switches the iwlwifi driver to use paged skb from linear skb for Rx
buffer. So that it relieves some Rx buffer allocation pressure for the
memory subsystem. Currently iwlwifi (4K for 3945) requests 8K bytes for
Rx buffer. Due to the trailing skb_shared_info in the skb->data,
alloc_skb() will do the next order allocation, which is 16K bytes. This
is suboptimal and more likely to fail when the system is under memory
usage pressure. Switching to paged Rx skb lets us allocate the RXB
directly by alloc_pages(), so that only order 1 allocation is required.
It also adjusts the area spin_lock (with IRQ disabled) protected in the
tasklet because tasklet guarentees to run only on one CPU and the new
unprotected code can be preempted by the IRQ handler. This saves us from
spawning another workqueue to make skb_linearize/__pskb_pull_tail happy
(which cannot be called in hard irq context).
Finally, mac80211 doesn't support paged Rx yet. So we linearize the skb
for all the management frames and software decryption or defragmentation
required data frames before handed to mac80211. For all the other frames,
we __pskb_pull_tail 64 bytes in the linear area of the skb for mac80211
to handle them properly.

commit 10c994ca70e8e94bbc85a5bf13de5911ee8de4d2 "iwlwifi: fix remove key
error" fixed an error reported by mac80211 during interface down. The fix
involved changing an async command to synchronous. Unfortunately this was
inside a spinlock section in which we cannot sleep.
Modify the sending of the command back to async. This causes the mac80211
error "mac80211-phy0: failed to remove key (0, ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) from
hardware (-16)." to return. This error is not serious since this occurs
during interface down and the keys will be cleared anyway when ucode is
unloaded. Having this error message is thus less serious than a potential
deadlock introduced when sleeping while holding a spinlock. We will have to
find another fix for that error.
This is a revert of the abovementioned commit.

mac80211-phy0: failed to remove key (0, ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) from hardware (-16).
-16 is EBUSY error. The asynchronous command tests for STATUS_EXIT_PENDING
while interface is getting down and it returns -EBUSY error if set.
Changing the host command from asynchronous call to synchronous call
enables command to be run while interface is going down.

Commit "iwlwifi: make debug level more user friendly" cleaned up the
debug level handling. In doing so it created a single global debug
level for all devices. Some setups do consits of more that one iwlwifi
device and in these setups there is a requirement that debug levels
should be unique per device.
We now re-introduce the per device debugging while maintaining the
cleanup effort of the previous patch.
The maintain the global debug level and now introduce a per-device debug
level that will be used if it (the per-device debug level) is set. The
per-device debug level can be controlled via the debug_level sysfs file
while the global debug level is controlled by the debug module parameter.

The current command sending in iwlwifi is a bit of a mess:
1) there is a struct, iwl_cmd, that contains both driver
and device data in a single packed structure -- this
is very confusing
2) the on-stack data and the command metadata share a
structure by embedding the latter in the former, which
is also rather confusing because it leads to weird
unions and similarly odd constructs
3) each txq always has enough space for 256 commands,
even if only 32 end up being used
This patch fixes these things:
1) rename iwl_cmd to iwl_device_cmd and keep track of
command metadata and device command separately, in
two arrays in each tx queue
2) remove the 'meta' member from iwl_host_cmd and only
put in the required members
3) allocate the cmd/meta arrays separately instead of
embedding them into the txq structure

* Deprecate the "debug50" module parameter used to obtain
5000 series and up debugging. Replace it with "debug" module
parameter to match with original driver and be consistent
between them. The "debug50" module parameter can still be used,
except that the module parameter is not writable in keeping
with its previous state. We currently just mark it as "deprecated"
and do not have it in the feature-removal-schedule. Some more
cleanup of module parameters needs to be done and can then be
entered together.
* Only make "debug" module parameters visible if the driver
is compiled with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG. This will eliminate
a lot of confusion where users think they have set debug flags
but yet cannot see any debug output.
* Make module parameters writable. This eliminates the need for the
"debug_level" sysfs file, which can now also be deprecated and
added to feature-removal-schedule. This file is in significant
use though with many iwlwifi documents and text referring users
to it. We can thus not take its removal lightly and keep it around.
With iwlcore shared between iwlagn and iwl3945 we really do not need
debug module parameters for each but can instead have one debug
module parameter for the iwlcore module. The same issue is here as
with the sysfs file - a lot of iwlwifi documentation and text (like
bug reports) rely on iwlagn and iwl3945 having this module parameter,
so changing this to a module parameter of iwlcore will have significant
impact and we do not do this for that reason.
One consequence of this patch is that if a user is running a system
with both 3945 and later hardware then the setting of the one module
parameter will affect the value of the other. The likelihood of this
seems low - and even if this setup is present it does not seem like an
issue for both modules to run with the same debug level.

We need to be symmetrical in what is done when key is set and cleared.
This is important wrt the key flags as they are used during key
clearing and if they are not set when the key is set the key cannot be
cleared completely.
This addresses the many occurences of the WARN found in
iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info() and tracked in
http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=iwl_set_dynamic_key
If calling iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info()/iwl_remove_dynamic_key()
pair a few times in a row will cause that we run out of key space.
This is because the index stored in the key flags is used by
iwl_remove_dynamic_key() to decide if it should remove the key.
Unfortunately the key flags, and hence the key index is currently only
set at the time the key is written to the device (in
iwl_update_tkip_key()) and _not_ in iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info().
Fix this by setting flags in iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info().

The HT handling has the following deficiencies, which I've
(partially) fixed:
* it always uses the AP info even if there is no AP,
hence has no chance of working as an AP
* it pretends to be HW config, but really is per-BSS
* channel sanity checking is left to the drivers
* it generally lets the driver control too much
HT enabling is still wrong with this patch if you have more than
one virtual STA mode interface, but that never happens currently.
Once WDS, IBSS or AP/VLAN gets HT capabilities, it will also be
wrong, see the comment in ieee80211_enable_ht().
Additionally, this fixes a number of bugs:
* mac80211: ieee80211_set_disassoc doesn't notify the driver any
more since the refactoring
* iwl-agn-rs: always uses the HT capabilities from the wrong stuff
mac80211 gives it rather than the actual peer STA
* ath9k: a number of bugs resulting from the broken HT API
