====================
My last pull request has been a while, we now have:
* connection quality monitoring with multiple thresholds
* support for FILS shared key authentication offload
* pre-CAC regulatory compliance - only ETSI allows this
* sanity check for some rate confusion that hit ChromeOS
(but nobody else uses it, evidently)
* some documentation updates

The rtl8187 cards don't seem to receive multicast frames, which,
among other things, makes them fail to receive RAs in IPv6 networks.
The cause seems to be that the RTL818X_RX_CONF_MULTICAST flag doesn't
have the desired effect.
Fix the issue by setting RTL818X_RX_CONF_MONITOR instead, which puts the
card into monitor mode and resolves the problem so that multicast frames
are sucessfully passed to the kernel.
The existence of the problem and the effectiveness of the solution has
originally been confirmed on an 8187B based card with the USB id of
0bda:8197. Subsequent testing by Larry Finger on an 8187L based card,
which follows the second (8187, i.e. "non-b") code path in the driver,
has confirmed that the fix does not cause any noticeable regresssions
there either.

Set the NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CQM_RSSI_LIST wiphy extended feature
wholesale in all mac80211-based drivers that do not set the
IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER flags on their interfaces. mac80211 will
be processing supplied RSSI values in ieee80211_rx_mgmt_beacon and
will detect when the thresholds set by
ieee80211_set_cqm_rssi_range_config are crossed. Remaining (few)
drivers need code to enable the firmware to monitor the thresholds.
This is mostly only compile-tested.

Each of these functions has a pair of mutex lock/unlock ops,
both of these ops perform atomic updates of memory (on x86, it boils down to
"lock cmpxchg %reg,mem" insn), which are 4-8 times more expensive than call+return.

When dev_alloc_skb or pci_dma_mapping_error in rtl8180_init_rx_ring fails,
the memory allocated by pci_zalloc_consistent is not freed.
This patch fixes the bug by adding pci_free_consistent
in error handling code.

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.

When pci_request_regions in rtl8180_probe fails, pci_disable_device is not
called to disable the device which is enabled by pci_enbale_device.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a new lable in error handling code.

Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted,
it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories
rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory
structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are
visable to the user.
