b43: fall back gracefully to PIO mode after fatal DMA errors
This makes the b43 driver just automatically fall back to PIO mode when
DMA doesn't work.
The driver already told the user to do it, so rather than have the user
reload the module with a new flag, just make the driver do it
automatically. We keep the message as an indication that something is
wrong, but now just automatically fall back to the hopefully working PIO
case.

nl80211: add power save commands
The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had,
is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible
to enable and disable power save via nl80211.
I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the
timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it.
Basically there were three reasons:
Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent.
Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and
still make sense to users, will be very difficult.
Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state
of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict
what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we
need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding
now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on.
Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for
debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this.
For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related
to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically
optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network
and other traffic parameters.
Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend
this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

cfg80211/mac80211: allow registering for and sending action frames
This implements a new command to register for action frames
that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel
rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that
it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but
the socket can be closed for that.
Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded
to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the
cfg80211 API helps implementing that.
Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows
doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be
used either to exchange action frames on the current
operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are
currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public
Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

rt2x00: rt2800 - Make rt30xx and rt35xx chipsets configurable.
Support for rt30xx- and rt35xx-based devices is currently not functional
in rt2800pci and rt2800usb.
In order to not confuse users we shouldn't claim the PCI and USB device
ID's for these devices. However, to allow for testing it is good to still
have them available, although disabled by default.
Make support for these device configuration options that default to off.
For rt2800usb a 3rd class of devices is added, which are the unknown
devices. For these devices it is known that they are either based on
rt28xx, rt30xx or rt35xx, but it is not known on what chipset exactly.
These devices are disabled by default as well, until it can be established
on what chipset exactly they are based.

iwlwifi: Monitor and recover the aggregation TX flow failure
This change monitors the tx statistics to detect the drop in throughput.
When the throughput drops, the ratio of the actual_ack_count and the expected_
ack_count also drops. At the same time, the aggregated ba_timeout (the number
of ba timeout retries) also rises. If the actual_ack_count/expected_ack_count
ratio is 0 and the number of ba timeout retries rises to 16, no tx packets
(tcp, udp, or ping - icmp) can be delivered. The driver recovers from this
situation by reseting the uCode firmware. If the actual_ack_count/expected_
ack_count ratio drops below 50% (but not 0) and the aggregated ba_timeout
retries just exceed 5 (but not 16), then the driver can reset the radio to
bring the throughput up.
