Johannes Berg f591fa5dbb mac80211: fix TX sequence numbers
This patch makes mac80211 assign proper sequence numbers to
QoS-data frames. It also removes the old sequence number code
because we noticed that only the driver or hardware can assign
sequence numbers to non-QoS-data and especially management
frames in a race-free manner because beacons aren't passed
through mac80211's TX path.

This patch also adds temporary code to the rt2x00 drivers to
not break them completely, that code will have to be reworked
for proper sequence numbers on beacons.

It also moves sequence number assignment down in the TX path
so no sequence numbers are assigned to frames that are dropped.

Johannes Berg f3947e2dfa mac80211: push interface checks down
This patch pushes the "netif_running()" and "same type as before"
checks down into ieee80211_if_change_type() to centralise the
logic instead of duplicating it for cfg80211 and wext.

Johannes Berg 75636525fb mac80211: revamp virtual interface handling
This patch revamps the virtual interface handling and makes the
code much easier to follow. Fewer functions, better names, less
spaghetti code.

Johannes Berg 3e122be089 mac80211: make master netdev handling sane
Currently, almost every interface type has a 'bss' pointer
pointing to BSS information. This BSS information, however,
is for a _local_ BSS, not for the BSS we joined, so having
it on a STA mode interface makes little sense, but now they
have it pointing to the master device, which is an AP mode
virtual interface. However, except for some bitrate control
data, this pointer is only used in AP/VLAN modes (for power
saving stations.)

Overall, it is not necessary to even have the master netdev
be a valid virtual interface, and it doesn't have to be on
the list of interfaces either.

This patch changes the master netdev to be special, it now
 - no longer is on the list of virtual interfaces, which
   lets me remove a lot of tests for that
 - no longer has sub_if_data attached, since that isn't used

Additionally, this patch changes some vlan/ap mode handling
that is related to these 'bss' pointers described above (but
in the VLAN case they actually make sense because there they
point to the AP they belong to); it also adds some debugging
code to IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF to validate it is not called
on the master netdev any more.

Johannes Berg f4ea83dd74 mac80211: rework debug settings and make debugging safer
This patch reworks the mac80211 debug settings making them more focused
and adding help text for those that didn't have one. It also removes a
number of printks that can be triggered remotely and add no value, e.g.
"too short deauthentication frame received - ignoring".

If somebody really needs to debug that they should just add a monitor
interface and look at the frames in wireshark.

Johannes Berg e253008360 mac80211: use multi-queue master netdevice
This patch updates mac80211 and drivers to be multi-queue aware and
use that instead of the internal queue mapping. Also does a number
of cleanups in various pieces of the code that fall out and reduces
internal mac80211 state size.

Johannes Berg 3434fbd398 mac80211: require four hardware queues for QoS/HT
This patch makes mac80211 only announce QoS/HT support when
the underlying hardware has four (or more) queues.
