TX queues shouldn't be kicked after each frame that is put into the
queue. This could cause problems during RTS and CTS-to-self as well
as with fragmentation. In all those cases you want all frames to be
send out in a single burst. Off course we shouldn't let the queue fill
up entirely, thus we introduce a 10% threshold which, when reached,
will force the frames to be send out regardless of the frame.
In addition we should prevent queues to become full in such a way
that the tx() handler can fail. Instead of stopping the queue when
it is full, we should stop it when it is below the threshold.

With the integration of the mac80211 multiqueue patches it has become possible that the
mac80211 layer modifies the number of TX queues that is stored inside the ieee80211_hw
structure, especially when multi-queue is not selected.
The rt2x00 drivers are not well suited to handle that situation, as they allocate the
queue structures before mac80211 has modified the number of queues it is going to use,
and also expect the number of allocated queues to match the hardware implementation.
Hence, ensure that rt2x00 maintains by itself the number of queues that the hardware
supports, and, at the same time, making is not dependent on the preservation of contents
inside a mac80211 structure.

The TO_DS filter does not only depend on the FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS flag

This makes sense, since when Master mode is active, we should all frames

Rework the interface handling. Delete the interface structure
and replace it with a per-interface structure. This changes the
way rt2x00 handles the active interface drastically.
Copy ieee80211_bss_conf to the this rt2x00_intf structure during
the bss_info_changed() callback function. This will allow us to
reference it later, and removes the requirement for the device flag
SHORT_PREAMBLE flag which is interface specific.
Drivers receive the option to give the maximum number of virtual
interfaces the device can handle. Virtual interface support:
rt2400pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500usb: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt61pci: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt73usb: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces
At the moment none of the drivers support AP and STA interfaces
simultaneously, this is a hardware limitation so future support
will be very unlikely.
Each interface structure receives its dedicated beacon entry,
with this we can easily work with beaconing while multiple master
mode interfaces are currently active.
The configuration handlers for the MAC, BSSID and type are
often called together since they all belong to the interface
configuration. Merge the 3 configuration calls and cleanup
the API between rt2x00lib and the drivers. While we are cleaning
up the interface configuration anyway, we might as well clean up
the configuration handler as well.

This introduces a big queue handling overhaul, this also
renames "ring" to "queues".
Move queue handling into rt2x00queue.c and the matching header,
use Kerneldoc to improve rt2x00 library documentation.
Access to the queues is now protected under a spinlock, this
to prevent race conditions which could corrupt the indexing
system of the queue.
Each queue entry allocates x bytes for driver/device specific data,
this cleans up the queue structure significantly and improves
code readability.
rt2500usb no longer needs 2 entries in the beacon queue to correctly
send out the guardian byte. This is now handled in the entry specific
structure.
rt61 and rt73 now use the correct descriptor size for beacon frames,
since this data is written into the registers not the entire TXD
descriptor was used but instead of a subset of it named TXINFO.
Finally this also fixes numerous other bugs related to incorrect
beacon handling or beacon related code.

This patch (based on Ron Rindjunsky's) creates a framework for

This patch introduces new ieee80211_bss_conf structure that is

This new BSS configuration infrastructure adds the following

* removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better

* allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without
having to allocate own lists/hash tables

Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor
interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and
they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc.
This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list()
callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes
filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*).
For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much
as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags.
Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g.
FIF_ALLMULTI.
Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that
have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast
frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or
when the mc_count value is positive.
At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about
monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to
implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new
change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop()
ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any
add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after
any remove_interface().
The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid
to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING
is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed
and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced.
This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that
supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID
to all-ones.
