Add recycling functionality to rt2x00usb_register_read_async.
When the callback function returns true, resubmit the urb to
read the register again.
This optimizes the rt2800usb driver when multiple TX status reports
are pending in the register, because now we don't need to allocate
the rt2x00_async_read_data and urb structure each time.

Both USB and PCI drivers allow a system administrator to dynamically add
USB/PCI IDs to the device table that a driver supports via the
/sys/bus/{usb,pci,pci_express}/drivers/<driver-name>/new_id files.
However, for the rt2x00 drivers using this method currently crashes the
system with a NULL pointer failure.
This is due to the set-up of rt2x00 where the probe functions require a
rt2x00_ops structure in the driver_info field of the probed device. As
this field is empty for the dynamically added devices this fails for
these devices.
Fix this by introducing driver-specific probe wrappers that do nothing
but calling the bus-specific probe functions with the rt2x00_ops structure
as an argument, rather than depending on the driver_info field.

When powersaving is enabled, assocaition times are very high
(for WPA2 networks, the time can easily be around the 3 seconds).
This is caused, because the flushing of the queues takes
too much time. Without the flushing callback mac80211 assumes
a timeout of 100ms while scanning. Limit all flush waiting
loops to the same maximum.
We can apply this maximum by passing the drop status to the
driver, which makes sure the driver performs extra actions
during the waiting for the queue to become empty.
After these changes, association times fall within the
healthy range of ~0.6 seconds with powersaving enabled.
The difference between association time between powersaving
enabled and disabled is now only ~0.1 second (which can also
be due to the measuring method).

Trying to fix the "TX status report missed" warnings
by reading the TX_STA_FIFO entries as quickly as possible.
The TX_STA_FIFO is too small in hardware, thus reading
it only from the workqueue is too slow and entries get lost.
Start an asynchronous read of the TX_STA_FIFO directly from
the TX URB completion callback (atomic context, thus it cannot
use the blocking rt2800_register_read()). If the async
read returns a valid FIFO entry, it is pushed into a larger
FIFO inside struct rt2x00_dev, until rt2800_txdone() picks
it up.
A .tx_dma_done callback is added to struct rt2x00lib_ops
to trigger the async read from the URB completion callback.

As part of the queue refactoring, change the queue callback
function names to have 3 different actions: start, kick & stop.
We can now also remove the STATE_RADIO_RX_ON/STATE_RADIO_RX_OFF

As part of the queue refactoring, we now introduce
3 queue commands: start, kick, stop.
- Start: will enable a queue, for TX this will
not mean anything, while for beacons and RX
this will update the registers to enable the queue.
- Kick: This will kick all pending frames to
the hardware. This is needed for the TX queue
to push all frames to the HW after the queue
has been started
- Stop: This will stop the queue in the hardware,
and cancel any pending work (So this doesn't
mean the queue is empty after a stop!).
Move all code from the drivers into the appropriate
functions, and link those calls to the old rt2x00lib
callback functions (we will fix this later when we
refactor the queue control inside rt2x00lib).

write_tx_desc shouldn't pass a rt2x00dev and skb pointer,
instead it should use the same format as other TX frame
callback functions, which is passing the data_entry pointer
which contains all the information which is needed to work
on a TX frame.
Most callers of the kick_tx_queue and kill_tx_queue already
have the data_queue pointer, so rather then sending the QID
with the given function, when the driver requests a new
pointer to the data_queue, it is more efficient to just
send the data_queue pointer directly.

Implement watchdog monitoring for USB devices (PCI support can
be added later). This will determine if URBs being uploaded to
the hardware are actually returning. Both rt2500usb and rt2800usb

This introduces a big queue handling overhaul, this also
renames "ring" to "queues".
Move queue handling into rt2x00queue.c and the matching header,
use Kerneldoc to improve rt2x00 library documentation.
Access to the queues is now protected under a spinlock, this
to prevent race conditions which could corrupt the indexing
system of the queue.
Each queue entry allocates x bytes for driver/device specific data,
this cleans up the queue structure significantly and improves
code readability.
rt2500usb no longer needs 2 entries in the beacon queue to correctly
send out the guardian byte. This is now handled in the entry specific
structure.
rt61 and rt73 now use the correct descriptor size for beacon frames,
since this data is written into the registers not the entire TXD
descriptor was used but instead of a subset of it named TXINFO.
Finally this also fixes numerous other bugs related to incorrect
beacon handling or beacon related code.
