cfg80211/mac80211: better channel handling
Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid
things like setting up an AP on a certain channel,
then adding another virtual interface and making
that associate on another channel -- this will make
the beaconing to move channel but obviously without
the necessary IEs data update.
In order to improve this situation, first make the
configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of
multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need
that in the future anyway. There's one userland API
change and one API addition. The API change is that
now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface
index rather than only wiphy index in order to take
effect for that interface -- luckily all current
users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the
old setting is preserved, but monitors are always
slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees.
The second userland API change is the introduction
of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that
hostapd should use going forward to make it easier
to understand what's going on (it can automatically
detect a kernel with this command).
Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers
are affected by this change because they only allow
a single virtual interface.
mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the
channel settings are per interface now, and needs
to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation,
which is another important part of this patch.
One of the immediate benefits is that you can now
start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already
has a connection on another virtual interface, as
long as you specify the same channel.
Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an
improvement -- not a complete fix):
* different HT/no-HT modes
currently you could start an HT AP and then
connect to a non-HT network on the same channel
which would configure the hardware for no HT;
that can be fixed fairly easily
* CSA
An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface
might indicate switching channels, and in that
case we would follow it, regardless of how many
other interfaces are operating; this requires
more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all

Therefore, I request to purge my heap of **** from the kernel:
"ar9170: implement transmit aggregation".

an adequate design to accommodate the special requirements
and features of the available frameworks and tools.

As explained by Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>:
We authenticate successfully, and then userspace requests association.
Then we start that process, but the AP doesn't respond. While we're
still waiting for an AP response, userspace asks for a deauth. We do
the deauth, but don't abort the association work. Then once the
association work times out we tell cfg80211, but it no longer wants
to know since for all it is concerned we accepted the deauth that
also kills the association attempt.
Fix this by, upon receipt of deauth request, removing the association work
and continuing to send the deauth.
Unfortunately the user reporting the issue is not able to reproduce this
problem anymore and cannot verify this fix. This seems like a well understood
issue though and I thus present the patch.

Avoid that by waiting for the firmware loading to finish
(whether successfully or not) before the unbind in

Inspection of the Ralink vendor driver shows that the TX_BAND_CFG register
and BBP register 3 are about HT40- indication, not about HT40+ indication.

mac80211: improve IBSS scanning
When IBSS is fixed to a frequency, it can still
scan to try to find the right BSSID. This makes
sense if the BSSID isn't also fixed, but it need
not scan all channels -- just one is sufficient.
Make it do that by moving the scan setup code to
ieee80211_request_internal_scan() and include
a channel variable setting.
Note that this can be further improved to start
the IBSS right away if both frequency and BSSID
are fixed.

mac80211: allow controlling aggregation manually
This allows enabling TX and disabling both TX and
RX aggregation sessions manually in debugfs. It is
very useful for debugging session initiation and
teardown problems since with this you don't have
to force a lot of traffic to get aggregation and
thus have less data to analyse.
Also, to debug mac80211 code itself, make hwsim
"support" aggregation sessions. It will still just
transfer the frame, but go through the setup and
teardown handshakes.

orinoco: add orinoco_usb driver
This driver uses the core orinoco modules for the bulk of
the functionality. The low level hermes routines (for local bus
cards) are replaced, the driver supplies its own ndo_xmit_start
function, and locking is done with the _bh variant.
Some recent functionality is not available to the USB cards yet
(firmware loading and WPA).

orinoco: encapsulate driver locking
Local bus and USB drivers will need to do locking differently.
The original orinoco_usb patches had a boolean variable controlling
whether spin_lock_bh was used, or irq based locking. This version
provides wrappers for the lock functions and the drivers specify the
functions pointers needed.
This will introduce a performance penalty, but I'm not expecting it to
be noticable.
