So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how
convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for
everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now
taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control,
most drivers don't support that though.

We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.
OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug",
and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct
reference of netdev->priv first.
In this driver, I don't simply use netdev_priv() to replace netdev->priv.
The reason is:
Pointer netdev->priv was changed in this driver, but it shouldn't.
Because the memory was allocated when alloc_netdev() and netdev->priv
should always point to that memory.
So I use netdev->ml_priv to replace netdev->priv.
After replacing, both ai and ai->wifidev->ml_priv point to the same memory.

This change adds short slot handling for 8187B variant of rtl8187 chips.
Some things to note about changes done:
* Values used are chosen to met 802.11-2007 spec. This raised a question
about SIFS value used with 8187L: 0x22 (34) doesn't match any spec
value. For now just don't change 8187L, but is something to be
looked at.
* On 8187B, the location of EIFS register is at the same place as BRSR+1
of struct rtl818x_csr. Unfortunately there is no clean way to
accomodate 8187B differences currently, just use address of BRSR+1 and
comment about it. The same thing happens for Ack timeout register,
that is on CARRIER_SENSE_COUNTER location of 8187L. The eifs and ack
timeout values are in units of 4us. All these registers information
was gathered from references being the vendor gpl driver and 8180
datasheet, unfortunately there is no information about this on 8187B
datasheet. Also the ack timeout value was inspired by the same
calculation as done on rt2x00.

Add support for AP mode. This involves:

- add AP to the supported modes in ath5k_add_interface
- handle beacon change even for AP in ath5k_config_interface
- remove useless test for IBSS in ath5k_beacon_update
Note that it doesn't enable the AP mode for the driver. It must
be enabled by NL80211_IFTYPE_AP bit added to interface_modes.

The HT handling has the following deficiencies, which I've
(partially) fixed:
* it always uses the AP info even if there is no AP,
hence has no chance of working as an AP
* it pretends to be HW config, but really is per-BSS
* channel sanity checking is left to the drivers
* it generally lets the driver control too much
HT enabling is still wrong with this patch if you have more than
one virtual STA mode interface, but that never happens currently.
Once WDS, IBSS or AP/VLAN gets HT capabilities, it will also be
wrong, see the comment in ieee80211_enable_ht().
Additionally, this fixes a number of bugs:
* mac80211: ieee80211_set_disassoc doesn't notify the driver any
more since the refactoring
* iwl-agn-rs: always uses the HT capabilities from the wrong stuff
mac80211 gives it rather than the actual peer STA
* ath9k: a number of bugs resulting from the broken HT API
I'm not entirely happy with putting the HT capabilities into
struct ieee80211_sta as restricted to our own HT TX capabilities,
but I see no cleaner solution for now.

I believe at76_usb and adm8211 might be broken.
This patch makes mac80211 assign a sequence number to all

if a driver only implements modes that do not do beaconing

The init_phy() function attaches to the PHY, then configures the
SerDes<->TBI link (in SGMII mode). The TBI is on the MDIO bus with the PHY
(sort of) and is accessed via the gianfar's MDIO registers, using the
functions gfar_local_mdio_read/write(), which don't do any locking.
The previously attached PHY will start a work-queue on a timer, and
probably an irq handler as well, which will talk to the PHY and thus use
the MDIO bus. This uses phy_read/write(), which have locking, but not
against the gfar_local_mdio versions.
The result is that PHY code will try to use the MDIO bus at the same time
as the SerDes setup code, corrupting the transfers.
Setting up the SerDes before attaching to the PHY will insure that there is
no race between the SerDes code and *our* PHY, but doesn't fix everything.
Typically the PHYs for all gianfar devices are on the same MDIO bus, which
is associated with the first gianfar device. This means that the first
gianfar's SerDes code could corrupt the MDIO transfers for a different
gianfar's PHY.
The lock used by phy_read/write() is contained in the mii_bus structure,
which is pointed to by the PHY. This is difficult to access from the
gianfar drivers, as there is no link between a gianfar device and the
mii_bus which shares the same MDIO registers. As far as the device layer
and drivers are concerned they are two unrelated devices (which happen to
share registers).
Generally all gianfar devices' PHYs will be on the bus associated with the
first gianfar. But this might not be the case, so simply locking the
gianfar's PHY's mii bus might not lock the mii bus that the SerDes setup
code is going to use.
We solve this by having the code that creates the gianfar platform device
look in the device tree for an mdio device that shares the gianfar's
registers. If one is found the ID of its platform device is saved in the
gianfar's platform data.
A new function in the gianfar mii code, gfar_get_miibus(), can use the bus
ID to search through the platform devices for a gianfar_mdio device with
the right ID. The platform device's driver data is the mii_bus structure,
which the SerDes setup code can use to lock the current bus.

A panic was discovered with bonding when using mode 5 or 6 and trying to
remove the slaves from the bond after the interface was taken down.
When calling 'ifconfig bond0 down' the following happens:
bond_close()
bond_alb_deinitialize()
tlb_deinitialize()
kfree(bond_info->tx_hashtbl)
bond_info->tx_hashtbl = NULL
Unfortunately if there are still slaves in the bond, when removing the
module the following happens:
bonding_exit()
bond_free_all()
bond_release_all()
bond_alb_deinit_slave()
tlb_clear_slave()
tx_hash_table = BOND_ALB_INFO(bond).tx_hashtbl
u32 next_index = tx_hash_table[index].next
As you might guess we panic when trying to access a few entries into the
table that no longer exists.
I experimented with several options (like moving the calls to
tlb_deinitialize somewhere else), but it really makes the most sense to
be part of the bond_close routine. It also didn't seem logical move
tlb_clear_slave around too much, so the simplest option seems to add a
check in tlb_clear_slave to make sure we haven't already wiped the
tx_hashtbl away before searching for all the non-existent hash-table
entries that used to point to the slave as the output interface.
