Driver support for the monitor mode support that will be available in the next
OLPC 'bleeding edge' Marvell firmware release (most likely, 5.110.16.p2).
To activate monitor mode,
echo mode > /sys/class/net/{ethX,mshX}/device/libertas_rtap
where mode is the hex mask that specifies which frames to sniff (in short, 0x1
for data, 0x2 for all management but beacons, 0x4 for beacons). Any non zero
mode will activate the monitor mode, inhibiting transmission in ethX and mshX
interfaces and routing all the incoming traffic to a new rtapX interface that
will output the packets in 802.11+radiotap headers format.

Some functions where declared in header files, but used only once. They are
now static functions.
After doing this, I found out that some functions weren't used at all. I
removed this dead code.

Separate wireless handlers of mshX and ethX. ethX remains as before.
For mshX, it has been disabled set/get essid, wap and set mode. Get mode always
returns "Repeater" and by now we use the Nickname to show if the mesh is active
("Mesh") or not (empty). The rest remains as before.

Updated commands fwt_add and fwt_list, bt_list.
New commands: bt_get_invert, bt_set_invert, to invert the blinding table,
i.e., receive only frames from nodes listed in the BT.
This patch needs/is needed for firmware 5.220.9.p11.
