Some clients seem to rely upon the reception of BlockAckReqs to flush
their rx reorder buffer. In order to fix aggregation for these clients
rt2x00 should send a BlockAckReq if the transmission of an AMPDU
subframe fails.
Introduce a new flag TXDONE_AMPDU to indicate that this is an AMPDU
subframe and pass IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK to mac80211 if an
AMPDU subframe failed during transmission.
This fixes aggregation problems with Intel 5100 Windows STAs (and maybe
others as well).

Optimize the tx desciptor memory layout by putting the PLCP and HT

This saves us the expensive PLCP calculation fOr HT devices and the HT

All rt2x00 devices used the same Tx and Rx ring size (24 entries) till
now. Newer devices (like rt2800) can however make use of a larger TX and
RX ring due to 11n capabilities (AMPDUs of size 64 for example).
Hence, bring rt2x00 in sync with the legacy drivers and use the same TX
and RX ring sizes. Also remove the global defines RX_ENTRIES, TX_ENTRIES,
BEACON_ENTRIES and ATIM_ENTRIES and use per driver values.
That is 24 entries for rt2400pci, 32 entries for rt2500pci, rt2500usb,

The watchdog for rt2800usb triggers frequently causing all URB's
to be canceled often enough to interrupt the normal TX flow.
More research indicated that not the URB upload to the USB host
were hanging, but instead the TX status reports.
To correctly detect what is going on, we introduce Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE
which is an index counter between Q_INDEX_DONE and Q_INDEX and indicates
if the frame has been transfered to the device.
This also requires the rt2x00queue timeout functions to be updated
to differentiate between a DMA timeout (time between Q_INDEX and
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE timeout) and a STATUS timeout (time between
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE and Q_INDEX_DONE timeout)
All Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE code was taken from the RFC from

for watchdog for rt2800pci.

All access to queue->entries through the Q_INDEX/Q_INDEX_DONE
variables must be done using spinlock protection. It is best
to manage this completely from rt2x00queue.c.
For safely looping through all entries in the queue, the function
rt2x00queue_for_each_entry is added which will walk from from a index
range in a safe manner.
This also fixes rt2x00usb which walked the entries list from
0 to length to kill each entry (killing entries must be done
from Q_INDEX_DONE to Q_INDEX to enforce TX status reporting to
occur in the correct order.

Move all TX and RX completion handling into a work structure,
which is handeled on the mac80211 workqueue. This simplifies
the code in rt2x00lib since it no longer needs to check if the
device is USB or PCI to decide which mac80211 function should be used.
In the watchdog some changes are needed since it can no longer rely
on the TX completion function to be run while looping through the
entries. (Both functions now work on the same workqueue, so this
would deadlock). So the watchdog now waits for the URB to return,
and handle the TX status report directly.
As a side-effect, the debugfs entry for the RX queue now correctly
displays the positions of the INDEX and INDEX_DONE counters. This
also implies that it is not possible to perform checks like queue_empty()
and queue_full() on the RX queue.

Right now all frames mac80211 hands to the driver
have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set to
request TX status. This isn't really necessary, only
the injected frames need TX status (the latter for
hostapd) so move setting this flag.
The rate control algorithms also need TX status, but
they don't require it.
Also, rt2x00 uses that bit for its own purposes and
seems to require it being set for all frames, but
that can be fixed in rt2x00.
This doesn't really change anything for any drivers
but in the future drivers using hw-rate control may
opt to not report TX status for frames that don't
