Johannes Berg f72b85b8eb mac80211: remove ieee80211_key_removed
This API call was intended to be used by drivers
if they want to optimize key handling by removing
one key when another is added. Remove it since no
driver is using it. If needed, it can always be
added back.

Johannes Berg 8f727ef3c4 mac80211: notify driver of rate control updates
Devices that have internal rate control need to be
notified when the bandwidth or SMPS state changes
just like external rate control algorithms get a
notification now.

Add this notification and clarify the change bits
while at it, the HT_CHANGED bit really meant only
bandwidth changed.

Johannes Berg 95de817b90 cfg80211: stop tracking authenticated state
To track authenticated state seems to have been
a design mistake in cfg80211. It is possible to
have out of band authentication (FT), tracking
multiple authentications caused more problems
than it ever helped, and the implementation in
mac80211 is too complex.

Remove all this complexity, and let userspace
do whatever it wants to, mac80211 can deal with
that just fine. Association is still tracked of
course, but authentication no longer is. Local
auth state changes are thus no longer of value,
so ignore them completely.

This will also help implement SAE -- asking the
driver to do an authentication is now almost
equivalent to sending an authentication frame,
with the exception of shared key authentication
which is still handled completely.

Johannes Berg 4b801bc969 mac80211: document client powersave
With the addition of uAPSD and driver buffering
the powersave handling has gotten quite complex.
Add a section to the documentation to explain it
for anyone wanting to implement it.

Johannes Berg 352de5573f wireless: move documentation books
This moves mac80211 documentation into a new
802.11 bookset and also adds a cfg80211 book
to the set. All of this is rather incomplete,
but it's easier to work with big code moving
as a separate patch.
