This patch moves a good chunk of code from the former statistic update
timer routine into a workqueue, which is kindly provided by mac80211.
Also as a nice side-effect we can lay the foundation for other
essential housekeeping features we want to do in the future.
e.g:
- drain the (clogged) tx_queue.
- initiate bursts.

Alan Stern found several flaws in p54usb's implementation and annotated:
"usb_kill_urb() and similar routines do not expect an URB's completion
routine to deallocate it. This is almost obvious -- if the URB is deallocated
before the completion routine returns then there's no way for usb_kill_urb
to detect when the URB actually is complete."

Commit b19fa1f, entitled "net: Delete NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE kconfig
option" breaks p54pci and p54usb.
Additionally, the old logic always tx'ed cts frames (if enabled)
with a short preamble when [rate > 3]. (i.e. with any 802.11g rate).
Of course this isn't that bad, but it's still wrong!
(This patch also clarifies the meanings of some of the fields in the tx
header for the hardware. -- JWL)

Following "mac80211: fix TX sequence numbers", if a packet
has the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ assigned, a sequence number must be
supplied, either by hardware or software. AFAIK, no such hardware exists
for the p54, thus it must be done in software. With this patch, a connection
qith p54usb is stable, whereas the interface went off-line in 2-3 hours
without this change. Note that this code will have to be reworked for proper
sequence numbers on beacons. In addition, the sequence number has been placed
in the hardware state, not the vif state.

Experience with the rtl8187 driver has shown that mac80211 can make
calls to the config callback routine in rapid succession. This patch
creates a mutex that protects the private data in several of the routines
called by mac80211.

The p54 driver family reports a quality of 0 in iwconfig and iwlist
output. This patch calculates a quality number as a percentage of the
rssi to the maximum signal of 127 reported as the maximum signal.

When I moved the TX info into skb->cb apparently I forgot to change a
few places to put the p54-internal data into info->driver_data rather
than skb->cb. This should fix it.

This patch updates mac80211 and drivers to be multi-queue aware and
use that instead of the internal queue mapping. Also does a number
of cleanups in various pieces of the code that fall out and reduces
internal mac80211 state size.

This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit
information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra
memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit,
a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
is kept outside of the union.
A number of fixes were done by Ivo, as well as the rt2x00 part
of this patch.

This patch modifies struct ieee80211_tx_control to give band
info and the rate index (instead of rate pointers) to drivers.
This mostly serves to reduce the TX control structure size to
make it fit into skb->cb so that the fragmentation code can
put it there and we can think about passing it to drivers that
way in the future.
The rt2x00 driver update was done by Ivo, thanks.

Having drivers start queues is just confusing, their ->start()
callback can block and do whatever is necessary, so let mac80211
start queues and have drivers wake queues when necessary (to get
packets flowing again right away.)

trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.
this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.
for signal:
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB - dB difference to unspecified reference point
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
for noise we currently only have dBm:
IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.
i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

This
* makes the queue number passed to drivers a u16
(as it will be with skb_get_queue_mapping)
* removes the useless queue number defines
* splits hw->queues into hw->queues/ampdu_queues
* removes the debugfs files for per-queue counters
* removes some dead QoS code
* removes the beacon queue configuration for IBSS
so that the drivers now never get a queue number
bigger than (hw->queues + hw->ampdu_queues - 1)
for tx and only in the range 0..hw->queues-1 for
conf_tx.

The callback takes a ieee80211_tx_queue_stats with a contained
array of ieee80211_tx_queue_stats_data, remove the former, rename
the latter to ieee80211_tx_queue_stats and make tx_stats() take
the array directly.
