mac80211 recently implemented two new callbacks that are used to request
station add/remove from the driver. The benefot from these new callbacks
are that they enable the driver to sleep while performing this work.
This is a big patch since a few things need to be coordinated in this move.
First we need to decouple station management from rate scaling, which
caused a lot of code to be moved and/or deleted. Next we needed to tie in
with mac80211's station management callback and let it direct our station
management as well as trigger the rate scaling initialization.

iwlwifi: only add broadcast station once
Currently the broadcast station is added after every RXON command. Change
this to only add the broadcast station when interface is added by mac80211.
With this we need some extra work to ensure broadcast station is always
present since station table is cleared when RXON without ASSOC bit set is
sent. To deal with this we re-add all driver known stations to uCode after
such an RXON command is sent.
We also do some cleanup and remove the various calls to clear the station
table. We now only clear the station table in two scenarios:
- only clear uCode portion of station table when RXON command without ASSOC
bit is sent
- clear uCode and driver portion when interface goes down or is removed.
We need to do this clearing when interface goes down to deal with the
device restart/reconfigure routines which do not remove the interface, but
do add the interface during reconfiguration.
Previously the keys were also cleared when station table in driver is
cleared, this is not done anymore since mac80211 will take care that keys
are set and cleared correctly.
There is a known issue with this change. Associating with different AP
without bringing interface down fails with a firmware error. This is
because of the lack of full station notification support and the later
patches in this series that complete the station notification support will
fix this.
This patch renames the (never officially released) sysfs-knobs
"blocked_hw" and "blocked_sw" to "hard" and "soft", as the hardware vs
software conotation is misleading.

padding on RX (and expect the same padding to be present on TX) at the
following position :
- management : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format
- control : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format
- data : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format + 2 if QoS

- management : 24
- control : 16 except for ACK/CTS where it is 10
- data : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format + 2 if QoS + 2 if QoS & order
- invalid : 24
So, correct frames are not affected : management frames do not use
4-addr format, control frames have no body and invalid frames are ...
not valid by definition. However, in order to use monitor interface for
debugging purpose, one must be able to send/receive any frames, be it

Moreover, since padding is added on TX, we need to remove it before

iwlwifi: clean up queue/fifo handling
4965 hardware has 7 queues reserved and the
remaining ones used for aggregation, 5000
and higher need to have 10 reserved. This
is not very clear in the code right now,
unfortunately.
Introduce a new IWL_TX_FIFO_UNUSED constant
and make the queue/FIFO mapping arrays able
to hold that value, and change the setup
code to reserve all queues in the arrays
(the queue number is the index) and use the
new unused constant to not map those queues
to any FIFO.
Additionally, clear up the AC/queue mapping
code to be more understandable. The mapping
is the identity mapping right now, but with
the mapping function I think it's easier to
understand what happens there.
Finally, HCCA isn't implemented at all and
I think newer microcode removed it, so let's
remove all mention of it in the code, some
comments remain for 4965.

iwlwifi: change WEP key protection to use mutex
For later station notification support we would like WEP key setting to be
done synchronously always. Currently all places from which WEP key is set
can sleep, but the usage of sta_lock prevents it to do so. Modify the
locking to use priv->mutex instead and thus enable this call to sleep.

iwlagn: move sysfs flags and filter_flags files to debugfs
These files are incompatible with some changes
I'm making, and don't really belong into sysfs
anyway as they can only be used for debugging.
Since writing them will probably crash the
firmware, keep only the reading part and move
them into debugfs.

Not all queues are mapped for frame transmission,

Change that and assign different addresses to new

mac80211: Improve software scan timing
The current software scan implemenation in mac80211 returns to the operating
channel after each scanned channel. However, in some situations (e.g. no
traffic) it would be nicer to scan a few channels in a row to speed up
the scan itself.
Hence, after scanning a channel, check if we have queued up any tx frames and
return to the operating channel in that case.
Unfortunately we don't know if the AP has buffered any frames for us. Hence,
scan only as many channels in a row as the pm_qos latency and the negotiated
listen interval allows us to.
