rt2x00: Move direct access to queue->entries to rt2x00queue.c
All access to queue->entries through the Q_INDEX/Q_INDEX_DONE
variables must be done using spinlock protection. It is best
to manage this completely from rt2x00queue.c.
For safely looping through all entries in the queue, the function
rt2x00queue_for_each_entry is added which will walk from from a index
range in a safe manner.
This also fixes rt2x00usb which walked the entries list from
0 to length to kill each entry (killing entries must be done
from Q_INDEX_DONE to Q_INDEX to enforce TX status reporting to
occur in the correct order.

cfg80211: mark ieee80211_hdrlen const
This function analyses only its single, value-passed
argument, and has no side effects. Thus it can be
const, which makes mac80211 smaller, for example:
text data bss dec hex filename
362518 16720 884 380122 5ccda mac80211.ko (before)
362358 16720 884 379962 5cc3a mac80211.ko (after)
a 160 byte saving in text size, and an optimisation
because the function won't be called as often.

reported by Alex.
Since I want to keep the direct application of
filter flags on iwlagn, duplicate the code into
both 3945 and agn and remove committing the
RXON that broke things from the 3945 version.

ipw2100: don't sync status queue entries
These are allocated with pci_alloc_consistent, so calling
pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu is incorrect usage of the API. Remove this
misuse and consequently avoid the following backtrace:
