mac80211: rework MLME for multiple authentications
Sit tight. This shakes up the world as you know
it. Let go of your spaghetti tongs, they will no
longer be required, the horrible statemachine in
net/mac80211/mlme.c is no more...
With the cfg80211 SME mac80211 now has much less
to keep track of, but, on the other hand, for FT
it needs to be able to keep track of at least one
authentication being in progress while associated.
So convert from a single state machine to having
small ones for all the different things we need to
do. For real FT it will still need work wrt. PS,
but this should be a good step.

rfkill: prep for rfkill API changes
We've designed the /dev/rfkill API in a way that we
can increase the event struct by adding members at
the end, should it become necessary. To validate the
events, userspace and the kernel need to have the
proper event size to check for -- when reading from
the other end they need to verify that it's at least
version 1 of the event API, with the current struct
size, so define a constant for that and make the
code a little more 'future proof'.
Not that I expect that we'll have to change the event
size any time soon, but it's better to write the code
in a way that lends itself to extending.
Due to the current size of the event struct, the code
is currently equivalent, but should the event struct
ever need to be increased the new code might not need
changing.

ath5k: rework beacon configuration
Using the enable_beacon flag allows some simplifications and fixes
some corner cases in beacon handling. This change adds a state
variable for beaconing in ath5k_beacon_config and handles both
enabling and disabling, thus eliminating the need for
ath5k_beacon_disable. We also now configure the beacon when any
of the beacon parameters change, so ath5k_beacon_reconfig is no
longer needed (its mmiowb gets moved to ath5k_beacon_config).
Finally, by locking around the whole config function, we don't
need to worry about clearing the interrupt mask register before
installing the new mask.
The upshot is this correctly disables beaconing when the interfaces
are taken down, it fixes a potential restarting of beaconing
when ath5k_reset() is called, and ensures that updates to the
beacon interval take effect immediately.

At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 15 reliably.
At a hardware RSSI of 35 you should be able use 54 Mbps reliably.
MCS 7 is the highets MCS index usable by a 1-stream device.
MCS 15 is the highest MCS index usable by a 2-stream device.
All ath9k devices are either 1-stream or 2-stream.
How many bars you see is derived from the qual reporting.

of SNR/throughput for each possible mode used. For the MCS table

mac80211: tell SME about real auth state
When the auth algorithm is rejected, but we don't have
another one to try, we will eventually retry but that
isn't useful -- we'll then do it again and again until
we eventually give up. Instead, we should let the SME
know and go into disabled state. The same applies for
situations where the AP rejects with any other status
code.
Additionally, when trying the next auth algorithm, we
should reset the auth_tries so that just a single lost
frame doesn't lead to us giving up on the third auth
algorithm.

cfg80211: use proper allocation flags
Instead of hardcoding GFP_ATOMIC everywhere, add a
new function parameter that gets the flags from the
caller. Obviously then I need to update all callers
(all of them in mac80211), and it turns out that now
it's ok to use GFP_KERNEL in almost all places.

cfg80211: move break statement to correct place
Move a break statement to the correct place _after_ the
#endif, otherwise w/o WIRELESS_EXT things break badly.
Also, while touching this code, do a cleanup and assign
dev->ieee80211_ptr to a new variable.

wext: default to y
The way I initially thought we could do wireless extensions
is by making all the compat code in cfg80211 be independent
of CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT, but this is turning out to not be
feasible. Therefore, fix the Kconfig help text and make the
option default to yes, so people won't get a nasty surprise
when mac80211 will get rid of its 'select WIRELESS_EXT' any
time now.

The key todo lock can be taken from different locks

wext: allow returning NULL stats
Currently, wext drivers cannot return NULL for stats even though
that would make the ioctl return -EOPNOTSUPP because that would
mean they are no longer listed in /proc/net/wireless. This patch
changes the wext core's behaviour to list them if they have any
wireless_handlers, but only show their stats when available, so
that drivers can start returning NULL if stats are currently not
available, reducing confusion for e.g. IBSS.

orinoco: initiate cfg80211 conversion
Initialise and register a wiphy.
Store the orinoco_private structure in the new wiphy, and use the
net_device private area to store the wireless_dev. This results in a
change to the way we navigate from a net_device to the driver private
orinoco_private, which we encapsulate in the inline function ndev_priv.
Most of the remaining calls to netdev_priv are thus replaced by
ndev_priv.
We can immediately rely on cfg80211 to handle SIOCGIWNAME, so
orinoco_ioctl_getname is removed.

orinoco: Change set_tkip to use orinoco_private instead of hermes_t
hw.h does not include hermes.h, and none of the other functions
requires types from that file. Also hermes_t is a (discouraged) typedef
so we can't add a forward declaration. Therefore change this function to
use orinoco_private.
