Since we do not know any better solution to the problem that TX queues can get
stuck, this adds a timer-based watchdog, which will check for stuck queues and
reset the hardware if necessary.

Prepare ath5k for WME by using four hardware queues.
The way we set up our queues matches the mac80211 queue priority 1:1, so we
don't have to do any mapping for queue numbers.
Every queue uses 50 of the total 200 available transmit buffers, so the DMA
memory usage does not increase with this patch, but it might be good to
fine-tune the number of buffers per queue later (depending on the CPU speed and
load, and the speed of the medium access, it might not be big enough).

There were a few places where the sc->rxlink pointer was set to NULL "just in
case". This helps nothing - quite to the contrary it is problematic since it
can create self-linked rx descriptors in the middle of the list of receive
buffers.
Here is an example how this could happen (thanks Bob!):
cpu 0: cpu 1:
ath5k_rx_stop
ath5k_tasklet_rx
sc->rxlink = NULL; /* just in case */
// following doesn't link used
// buffer to prev.
ath5k_rxbuf_setup()
In the case of ath5k_rx_stop() and ath5k_stop_locked() buffers/descriptors are
not changed so rxlink should not be changed as well.
In ath5k_intr() we seem to try to work around a hardware bug, as the comment
(which is copied 1:1 from the HAL) suggests. I don't see how this could help.
Also the HAL does not set rxlink in this case (So where does this code come
from? It has been there since the first import of ath5k). Changed to just
increment a statistics counter.
After this patch rxlink is only set to NULL before we initialize rx descriptors
and updated when the descriptors are linked together.

We currently trigger a reset via a tasklet when certain error
conditions are detected so that the card will (eventually)
restart. Unfortunately this makes locking complicated since
reset can also be called in process context (e.g. for channel
change). Currently nothing protects against concurrent resets,
which can be the source of corruption bugs.
Reset takes too long to spinlock the whole thing, so this
patch moves deferred resets into the mac80211 workqueue to
enable use of sc->lock mutex.

We get RXORN interrupts when all receive buffers are full. This is not
necessarily a fatal situation. It can also happen when the bus is busy or the
CPU is not fast enough to process all frames.
Older chipsets apparently need a reset to come out of this situration, but on
newer chips we can treat RXORN like RX, as going thru a full reset does more
harm than good, there.
The exact chip revisions which need a reset are unknown - this guess
AR5K_SREV_AR5212 ("venice") is copied from the HAL.
Inspired by openwrt 413-rxorn.patch:
"treat rxorn like rx, reset after rxorn seems to do more harm than good"

This is an Adaptive Noise Imunity (ANI) implementation for ath5k. I have looked
at both ath9k and HAL sources (they are nearly the same), and even though i
have implemented some things differently, the basic algorithm is practically
the same, for now. I hope that this can serve as a clean start to improve the
algorithm later.
This also adds a possibility to manually control ANI settings, right now only
thru a debugfs file:
* set lowest sensitivity (=highest noise immunity):
echo sens-low > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
* set highest sensitivity (=lowest noise immunity):
echo sens-high > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
* automatically control immunity (default):
echo ani-on > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
* to see the parameters in use and watch them change:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
Manually setting sensitivity will turn the automatic control off. You can also
control each of the five immunity parameters (noise immunity, spur immunity,
firstep, ofdm weak signal detection, cck weak signal detection) manually thru
the debugfs file.
This is tested on AR5414 and nearly doubles the thruput in a noisy 2GHz band.

statistics can be cleared by writing 'clear' into the frameerrors file.

keep statistics about which antenna was used for TX and RX. this is used only
for debugging right now, but might have other applications later.
add a new file 'antenna' in debugfs (/sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/antenna) to show
antenna use statistics and antenna diversity related register values. it can
also be used to set the antenna mode until we have proper support for that in
iw:
- echo diversity > antenna: use default antenna mode (RX and TX diversity)
- echo fixed-a > antenna: use fixed antenna A for RX and TX
- echo fixed-b > antenna: use fixed antenna B for RX and TX
- echo clear > antenna: reset antenna statistics

* Get rid of calibration timer, instead use a software interrupt
to schedule the calibration tasklet.
a) We don't need a timer for this, there is no need for accuracy
even with round_jiffies i think this is a waste of resources.
Also we don't need to run calibration if we are idle (no
interrupts).
b) When we add ANI support we 'll just extend the poll function
and calibration tasklet and handle all periodic phy calibration
on one place (much cleaner).
c) Having calibration on a tasklet is better since during calibration
we can't transmit or receive (antennas are detached to measure
noise floor), previously calibration could run in parallel with
tx/rx and interfere (packet loss).
v2: kill tasklet on stop_hw, stop/wake queues
v3: use time_is_before_eq_jiffies to compare timestamp with current
time

Using the enable_beacon flag allows some simplifications and fixes
some corner cases in beacon handling. This change adds a state
variable for beaconing in ath5k_beacon_config and handles both
enabling and disabling, thus eliminating the need for
ath5k_beacon_disable. We also now configure the beacon when any
of the beacon parameters change, so ath5k_beacon_reconfig is no
longer needed (its mmiowb gets moved to ath5k_beacon_config).
Finally, by locking around the whole config function, we don't
need to worry about clearing the interrupt mask register before
installing the new mask.
The upshot is this correctly disables beaconing when the interfaces
are taken down, it fixes a potential restarting of beaconing
when ath5k_reset() is called, and ensures that updates to the
beacon interval take effect immediately.

All rfkill related code is separated into newly created rfkill.c.
Changes to existing code are minimal:

* inserted calls to HW rfkill init/deinit routines
* ath5k_intr() has been extended to handle AR5K_INT_GPIO interrupts
