Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
need the multicast address list implement. This new
callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
non-atomically.
A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,
wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this
new capability.

* 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

Previously, we would store the operating mode at interface up time,
but only update the PCU registers when the next reset happened.
The result is that if beacon configuration (ops->bss_info_changed)
happens before ops->config, we will program the wrong things into
the timer registers. Consequently, beacons won't work in AP mode
until after a reset (channel change, scan etc.).
This is fragile anyway so just program the opmode as soon as
mac80211 gives it to us.

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.

Within mac80211, we often need to copy the rx status into

drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now
accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb). It also updates all
drivers to pass the rx status in there, but only by making
them memcpy() it into place before the call to the receive
function (ieee80211_rx(_irqsafe)). Each driver can now be

value will always be the y-coordinate. In this code we are looping
until we reach a minimum y-coordinate on a line, which in the 0-slope

After some debuging we were hitting the following bugs so far...
* Due to huge channel list hostapd couldn't get infos from the driver
and couldn't set the channel. If we manualy set the channel after
hostapd starts (by setting channel to 0 -auto), beacons are sent
but they wont show up on scan because they are malformed (they have
channel = 0 because hostapd doesn't update the channel info -this is
probably a hostapd bug so i'm CCing Jouni) and they get dropped. Bob
fixed this by only allowing standard channels to be registered so
now hostapd works as expected.
* Docs (and HAL source) say that we must write 0 on timer0 when
operating on AP mode to start TSF increment but this seems to
mess with DBA in many cases and beacon queue never gets started.
We fixed that on the previous patch.
We have some more things to deal with...
* For some reason (hw bug or something else) after restarting hostapd
a few times, beacon inteval seems to change from 100ms to a sec
(we get one beacon per sec).
* We need to set sleep timers on STA mode and enable power saving +
support PCF.
...but i think it's time we enable AP support "officialy" so that
we can get more feedback from users. I ran ath5k with the mentioned
patches + hostapd 0.6.8 and AP mode worked fine (it had some less
throughput on my tests than IBSS but it worked).

* 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 ;-)
