9d139c810a mac80211: revamp beacon configuration
This patch changes mac80211's beacon configuration handling
to never pass skbs to the driver directly but rather always
require the driver to use ieee80211_beacon_get(). Additionally,
it introduces "change flags" on the config_interface() call
to enable drivers to figure out what is changing. Finally, it
removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of
having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well.

8e260c2223 rt2x00: Use ieee80211_hw->workqueue again
Remove the rt2x00 singlethreaded workqueue and move
the link tuner and packet filter scheduled work to
the ieee80211_hw->workqueue again.
The only exception is the interface scheduled work
handler which uses the mac80211 interface iterator
under the RTNL lock. This work needs to be handled
on the kernel workqueue to prevent lockdep issues.

980dfcb932 rt2x00: Fix lock dependency errror
This fixes a circular locking dependency in the workqueue handling.
The interface work task uses the mac80211 function
ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() which grabs the RTNL lock.

However when the interface is brough down, this happens under the RTNL
lock as well, this causes problems because mac80211 will flush the workqueue
during the ifdown event. This causes mac80211 to wait until the driver has
completed all work which can't finish because it is waiting on the RTNL lock.

This is fixed by moving rt2x00 workqueue tasks on a different workqueue,
this workqueue can be flushed when the ieee80211_hw structure is removed
by the driver (when the driver is unloaded) which does not happen under the
RTNL lock.

d74f5ba473 rt2x00: Cleanup symbol exports
With a bit of code moving to rt2x00lib within the
TX and RX paths we can now remove a lot of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
statements. This cleans up the interface between rt2x00lib
and the drivers and has the additional benefit that rt2x00pci

c4da004857 rt2x00: Replace statically allocated DMA buffers with mapped skb's.
The current PCI drivers require a lot of pre-allocated DMA buffers. Reduce this
by using dynamically mapped skb's (using pci_map_single) instead of the pre-
allocated DMA buffers that are allocated at device start-up time.

At the same time move common RX path code into rt2x00lib from rt2x00pci and
rt2x00usb, as the RX paths now are now almost the same.

239c249d06 rt2x00: Centralize RX packet alignment handling in rt2x00lib.
When rt2x00pci will be switched over to dynamically mapped skb's
instead of statically allocated DMA buffers, it no longer can handle
alignment of RX packets in a copy step, and needs to implement the
same scheme as rt2x00usb does.

In order to make the patch on dynamically mapped skb's smaller,
already centralize the alignment handling into rt2x00lib. This allows
us to move more code in rt2x00lib, and thus remove code duplication
between rt2x00usb and rt2x00pci.

b869767b6f rt2x00: Don't kick TX queue after each frame
TX queues shouldn't be kicked after each frame that is put into the
queue.  This could cause problems during RTS and CTS-to-self as well
as with fragmentation. In all those cases you want all frames to be
send out in a single burst. Off course we shouldn't let the queue fill
up entirely, thus we introduce a 10% threshold which, when reached,
will force the frames to be send out regardless of the frame.

In addition we should prevent queues to become full in such a way
that the tx() handler can fail. Instead of stopping the queue when
it is full, we should stop it when it is below the threshold.

7050ec821c rt2x00: Split rt2x00lib_write_tx_desc()
Split rt2x00lib_write_tx_desc() up into a TX descriptor initializor
and TX descriptor writer.

This split is required to properly allow mac80211 to move its
tx_control structure into the skb->cb array.
The rt2x00queue_create_tx_descriptor() function will read all tx control
information and convert it into a rt2x00 TX descriptor information structure.
After that function is complete, we have all information we needed from the
tx control structure and are free to start writing into the skb->cb array
for our own purposes.
rt2x00queue_write_tx_descriptor() will be in charge of really sending
the TX descriptor to the hardware and kicking the TX queue.

61448f8807 rt2x00: Fix queue related oops in case of deselected mac80211 multi-queue feature.
With the integration of the mac80211 multiqueue patches it has become possible that the
mac80211 layer modifies the number of TX queues that is stored inside the ieee80211_hw
structure, especially when multi-queue is not selected.

The rt2x00 drivers are not well suited to handle that situation, as they allocate the
queue structures before mac80211 has modified the number of queues it is going to use,
and also expect the number of allocated queues to match the hardware implementation.

Hence, ensure that rt2x00 maintains by itself the number of queues that the hardware
supports, and, at the same time, making is not dependent on the preservation of contents
inside a mac80211 structure.

8318d78a44 cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion
This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.

Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.

Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.

I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

5957da4c6e rt2x00: Move beacon and atim queue defines into rt2x00
As Johannes Berg indicated the BEACON and AFTER_BEACON
queue indeces in mac80211 should be removed because they
are too hardware specific. This patch adds the queue index
defines into rt2x00queue.h and removes the dependency of
the defines inside mac80211.h.

Also move rt2x00pci_beacon_update() into rt2400pci and
rt2500pci individually since it is no longer a generic
function since rt61 and rt2800 no longer use that.

6bb40dd13b rt2x00: Add per-interface structure
Rework the interface handling. Delete the interface structure
and replace it with a per-interface structure. This changes the
way rt2x00 handles the active interface drastically.

Copy ieee80211_bss_conf to the this rt2x00_intf structure during
the bss_info_changed() callback function. This will allow us to
reference it later, and removes the requirement for the device flag
SHORT_PREAMBLE flag which is interface specific.

Drivers receive the option to give the maximum number of virtual
interfaces the device can handle. Virtual interface support:
rt2400pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500usb: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt61pci: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt73usb: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces

At the moment none of the drivers support AP and STA interfaces
simultaneously, this is a hardware limitation so future support
will be very unlikely.

Each interface structure receives its dedicated beacon entry,
with this we can easily work with beaconing while multiple master
mode interfaces are currently active.

The configuration handlers for the MAC, BSSID and type are
often called together since they all belong to the interface
configuration. Merge the 3 configuration calls and cleanup
the API between rt2x00lib and the drivers. While we are cleaning
up the interface configuration anyway, we might as well clean up
the configuration handler as well.

9404ef34e4 rt2x00: Driver requiring firmware should select crc algo
The driver should select what CRC algorithm is required
when performing a checksum on the firmware.

rt61pci & rt73usb require crc-itu-t
rt2800pci & rt2800usb require crc-ccitt

Legacy 2800pci/usb driver uses crc-itu-t + bit order reversion,
but that is just inefficient especially since the end result is
the same as a different algorithm which is also available as library. ;)

181d6902b6 rt2x00: Queue handling overhaul
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.
