* Write next beacon timer even on AP mode since without this we get
no beacons + ath9k does it too. Docs say that we must write 0 on
this register on AP mode to start TSF increment, we do both to be
on the safe side.
* Fix num_tx_pending function, we never read the register :P that's
why we got all those "beacon queue 7 didn't stop messages".
* Put full prioriy on beacon queue, lock all queues with lower
priority using the arblock and also bypass any arblock by seting
the arblock ignore flag.
* For the CAB queue (do we need this thing ?, it seems crap) since
it's supposed to fire up after each beacon (we don't use it on driver
part, ath9k/MadWiFi does), don't make it DBA gated but instead make
it fire after each beacon by using the beacon sent gated flag.
* Increase bmiss threshold to 10, that's what we used on MadWiFi for
a long time. Also when we have pending frames on the beacon queue (we
got a beacon that didn't make it on the air) it's more likely that
the beacon queue never started, probably due to faulty DBA setting,
so change that "beacon queue didn't stop" message.
Tested this with AP mode and IBSS mode and seems to work fine ;-)

Otus uses slightly different set of "Minimum MPDU Start Spacing" values
than the 802.11n D2.0 specifies. (the whole table is shifted by one and
therefore the 16us spacing is not officially available!)

We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
an AP.
This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.
NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due
to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all
drivers, some are updated in this patch.

Trying to separate header files into net/wireless.h and
net/cfg80211.h has been a source of confusion. Remove
net/wireless.h (because there also is the linux/wireless.h)
and subsume everything into net/cfg80211.h -- except the
definitions for regulatory structures which get moved to
a new header net/regulatory.h.
The "new" net/cfg80211.h is now divided into sections.
There are no real changes in this patch but code shuffling
and some very minor documentation fixes.
I have also, to make things reflect reality, put in a
copyright line for Luis to net/regulatory.h since that
is probably exclusively written by him but was formerly

When the EEPROM is not in good condition we cannot continue so
we currently bail out but only ath5k is bailing out properly.
Both ath9k and ar9170 were proceeding and if a user were to run
into this they'd see an obscure panic. Lets propagate the error
as intended and make sure we inform the user by lifting the
error message from debug to a kernel error.

Grabbing an ath5k_buf then dropping the lock is racy because the
referenced descriptor can be obtained in another thread and released
before the buffer is handed to the hardware. Likewise, manipulating
