This patch cleans up a number of things:
* the unusable definition of the HT capabilities/HT information
information elements
* variable names that are hard to understand
* mac80211: move ieee80211_handle_ht to ht.c and remove the unused
enable_ht parameter
* mac80211: fix bug with MCS rate 32 in ieee80211_handle_ht
* mac80211: fix bug with casting the result of ieee80211_bss_get_ie
to an information element _contents_ rather than the
whole element, add size checking (another out-of-bounds
access bug fixed!)
* mac80211: remove some unused return values in favour of BUG_ON
checking
* a few minor other things

This patch fixes a typo in mac80211_hwsim.c:
use HWSIM_STA_MAGIC in hwsim_check_sta_magic() and hwsim_set_sta_magic()
instead of HWSIM_VIF_MAGIC.

This converts pretty much everything to print_mac. There were
a few things that had conflicts which I have just dropped for
now, no harm done.
I've built an allyesconfig with this and looked at the files
that weren't built very carefully, but it's a huge patch.

This paves the way for dynamic radio additions while the module
is loaded. Also restrict the number of radios to 100 because
creating that many already takes forever.

Currently, virtual interface pointers passed to drivers might be
from monitor interfaces and as such completely uninitialised
because we do not tell the driver about monitor interfaces when
those are created. Instead of passing them, we should therefore
indicate to the driver that there is no information; do that by
passing a NULL value and adjust drivers to cope with it.
As a result, some mac80211 API functions also need to cope with
a NULL vif pointer so drivers can still call them unconditionally.
Also, when injecting frames we really don't want to pass NULL all
the time, if we know we are the source address of a frame and have
a local interface for that address, we can to use that interface.
This also helps with processing the frame correctly for that
interface which will help the 802.11w implementation. It's not
entirely correct for VLANs or WDS interfaces because there the MAC
address isn't unique, but it's already a lot better than what we
do now.
Finally, when injecting without a matching local interface, don't
assign sequence numbers at all.

In analogy with the previous patch to make mac80211-hwsim
verify that the virtual interface pointers are correct,
this makes it very that it knows about all station structs.

This patch changes mac80211 to share some more data about
stations with drivers. Should help iwlwifi and ath9k when
they get around to updating, and might also help with
implementing rate control algorithms without internals.

mac80211-hwsim is a debugging tool for mac80211, and as such
it can very well verify that mac80211 isn't passing junk to
drivers, especially the vif pointer is prone to this because
for vlan interfaces the AP interface pointer needs to be passed.
This makes mac80211-hwsim add a magic cookie to the private vif
area and verify it whenever an operation is called that gets a
vif pointer.

There's really no reason for mac80211 to be using its
own interface type defines. Use the nl80211 types and
simplify the configuration code a bit: there's no need
to translate them any more now.

It is obviously good for userspace to know up front which
interface modes a given piece of hardware might support (even
if adding such an interface might fail later because of
concurrency issues), so let's make cfg80211 aware of that.
For good measure, disallow adding interfaces in all other
modes so drivers don't forget to announce support for one mode
when they add it.

Set some semi-random values for HT and add more queues to allow IEEE
802.11n association to be tested with mac80211_hwsim. This with the
latest hostapd git tree version can complete a simulated 802.11n
association successfully (with mac80211 client MLME).

I was looking at this out of interest, but I'm in no way familiar with
the code.
Looks to me that the error handling code in mac80211_hwsim is awkward.
Which leads to it calling ieee80211_unregister_hw even when
ieee80211_register_hw failed.
The function has a for loop where it generates all simulated radios.
when something fails, the error handling will call mac80211_hwsim_free
which frees all simulated radios who's pointer isn't zero. However the
information stored is insufficient to determine whether or not the call
to ieee80211_register_hw succeeded or not for a specific radio. The
included patch makes init_mac80211_hwsim clean up the current simulated
radio, and then calls into mac80211_hwsim_free to clean up all the
radios that did succeed.
This however doesn't explain why the rate control registration failed..
build tested this, but had some problems reproducing the original
problem.

mac80211_hwsim is a Linux kernel module that can be used to simulate
arbitrary number of IEEE 802.11 radios for mac80211 on a single
device. It can be used to test most of the mac80211 functionality and
user space tools (e.g., hostapd and wpa_supplicant) in a way that
matches very closely with the normal case of using real WLAN
hardware. From the mac80211 view point, mac80211_hwsim is yet another
hardware driver, i.e., no changes to mac80211 are needed to use this
testing tool.
