The watchdog for rt2800usb triggers frequently causing all URB's
to be canceled often enough to interrupt the normal TX flow.
More research indicated that not the URB upload to the USB host
were hanging, but instead the TX status reports.
To correctly detect what is going on, we introduce Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE
which is an index counter between Q_INDEX_DONE and Q_INDEX and indicates
if the frame has been transfered to the device.
This also requires the rt2x00queue timeout functions to be updated
to differentiate between a DMA timeout (time between Q_INDEX and
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE timeout) and a STATUS timeout (time between
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE and Q_INDEX_DONE timeout)
All Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE code was taken from the RFC from
Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> for the implementation
for watchdog for rt2800pci.

All access to queue->entries through the Q_INDEX/Q_INDEX_DONE
variables must be done using spinlock protection. It is best
to manage this completely from rt2x00queue.c.
For safely looping through all entries in the queue, the function
rt2x00queue_for_each_entry is added which will walk from from a index
range in a safe manner.
This also fixes rt2x00usb which walked the entries list from
0 to length to kill each entry (killing entries must be done
from Q_INDEX_DONE to Q_INDEX to enforce TX status reporting to
occur in the correct order.

write_tx_desc shouldn't pass a rt2x00dev and skb pointer,
instead it should use the same format as other TX frame
callback functions, which is passing the data_entry pointer
which contains all the information which is needed to work
on a TX frame.
Most callers of the kick_tx_queue and kill_tx_queue already
have the data_queue pointer, so rather then sending the QID
with the given function, when the driver requests a new
pointer to the data_queue, it is more efficient to just
send the data_queue pointer directly.

Move all TX and RX completion handling into a work structure,
which is handeled on the mac80211 workqueue. This simplifies
the code in rt2x00lib since it no longer needs to check if the
device is USB or PCI to decide which mac80211 function should be used.
In the watchdog some changes are needed since it can no longer rely
on the TX completion function to be run while looping through the
entries. (Both functions now work on the same workqueue, so this
would deadlock). So the watchdog now waits for the URB to return,
and handle the TX status report directly.
As a side-effect, the debugfs entry for the RX queue now correctly
displays the positions of the INDEX and INDEX_DONE counters. This
also implies that it is not possible to perform checks like queue_empty()
and queue_full() on the RX queue.

Implement watchdog monitoring for USB devices (PCI support can
be added later). This will determine if URBs being uploaded to
the hardware are actually returning. Both rt2500usb and rt2800usb
have shown that URBs being uploaded can remain hanging without
being released by the hardware.
By using this watchdog, a queue can be reset when this occurs.
For rt2800usb it has been tested that the connection is preserved
even though this interruption.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Right now all frames mac80211 hands to the driver
have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set to
request TX status. This isn't really necessary, only
the injected frames need TX status (the latter for
hostapd) so move setting this flag.
The rate control algorithms also need TX status, but
they don't require it.
Also, rt2x00 uses that bit for its own purposes and
seems to require it being set for all frames, but
that can be fixed in rt2x00.
This doesn't really change anything for any drivers
but in the future drivers using hw-rate control may
opt to not report TX status for frames that don't
have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set.

The old function rt2x00queue_payload_align() handled
both adding and removing L2 padding and some basic
frame alignment. The entire function was being abused
because it had multiple functions and the header length
argument was somtimes used to align the header instead
of the payload.
Additionally there was a bug when inserting L2 padding
that only the payload was aligned but not the header. This
happens when the header wasn't aligned properly by mac80211,
but rt2x00lib only moves the payload.
A secondary problem was that when removing L2 padding during
TXdone or RX the skb wasn't resized to the proper size.

* In case of two near calls to set_tim: rt2x00lib_beacondone_iter is
cleaning the beacon skb, whereas rt73usb_write_beacon is still using it.
* In case of two near updates of beacon: first as the result of set_tim
