the current step since we can determine te step from it's index,
this also allows us to put all other structs on rfgain.h and cleanup
ath5k.h a little

mac80211: do not TX injected frames when not allowed
Monitor mode is able to TX by using injected frames. We should
not allow injected frames to be sent unless allowed by regulatory
rules. Since AP mode uses a monitor interfaces to transmit
management frames we have to take care to not break AP mode as
well while resolving this. We can deal with this by allowing compliant
APs solutions to inform mac80211 if their monitor interface is
intended to be used for an AP by setting a cfg80211 flag for the
monitor interface. hostapd, for example, currently does its own
checks to ensure AP mode is not used on channels which require radar
detection. Once such solutions are available it can can add this
flag for monitor interfaces.

requests fail to start the scan engine. Fix this by resetting
assoc_scan_tries to zero after completing a scan run.

ath9k: remove passive scan on 5 GHz if country IE knows better
If we have new found information about our location and the
current country regulatory domain does not have passive scan
flag requirements we should be able to actively scan now on those
channels.
Since AP functionality is not allowed where passive scan flags are
set this means if you have a world regulatory domain and you get a
country IE that allows that channel (with active scan) then we lift
the passive-scan requirement so you can then use AP mode.

rt2x00: Validate firmware in driver
The get_firmware_crc() callback function isn't flexible
enough when dealing with multiple firmware versions.
It might in some cases be possible that the firmware
file contains multiple CRC checksums.
Create the check_firmware() callback function where the driver
has complete freedom in how to validate the firmware.

rt2x00: Add kill_tx_queue callback function
provide rt2x00lib the possibility to kill a particular TX queue.
This can be useful when disabling the radio, but more importantly
will allow beaconing to be disabled when mac80211 requests this
(during scanning for example)

ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() no longer acquires the
RTNL lock which means the intf_work handler can be safely
used from the mac80211 workqueue again.

iwlwifi: unify iwlagn and 3945 power save management
This patch unifies 3945 and iwlagn power save management
This patch also better separates system state from user setting.
System state shall be removed later as this shall be shifted to user space
