So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how
convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for
everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now
taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control,
most drivers don't support that though.

Long awaited, hard work. This patch totally cleans up the rate control
API to remove the requirement to include internal headers outside of
net/mac80211/.
There's one internal use in the PID algorithm left for mesh networking,
we'll have to figure out a way to clean that one up and decide how to
do the peer link evaluation, possibly independent of the rate control
algorithm or via new API.
Additionally, ath9k is left using the cross-inclusion hack for now, we
will add new API where necessary to make this work properly, but right
now I'm not expert enough to do it. It's still off better than before.

It is obviously good for userspace to know up front which
interface modes a given piece of hardware might support (even
if adding such an interface might fail later because of
concurrency issues), so let's make cfg80211 aware of that.

A few general categories:
1) ieee80211_has_* tests if particular fctl bits are set, the helpers are de
in the same order as the fctl defines:
A combined _has_a4 was also added to test when both FROMDS and TODS are set.
2) ieee80211_is_* is meant to test whether the frame control is of a certain
ftype - data, mgmt, ctl, and two special helpers _is_data_qos, _is_data_pres
which also test a subset of the stype space.
When testing for a particular stype applicable only to one ftype, functions
like ieee80211_is_ack have been added. Note that the ftype is also being
checked in these helpers. They have been added for all mgmt and ctl stypes
in the same order as the STYPE defines.
3) ieee80211_get_* is meant to take a struct ieee80211_hdr * and returns a
pointer to somewhere in the struct, see get_SA, get_DA, get_qos_ctl.
The intel wireless drivers had helpers that used this namespace, convert the
all to use the new helpers and remove the byteshifting as they were defined
in cpu-order rather than little-endian.

trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.
this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.
for signal:
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB - dB difference to unspecified reference point
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
for noise we currently only have dBm:
IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.
i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

iwl3945 <---> mac80211 <----> wpa_supplicant <---> NetworkManager
When a hardware scan is completed and another scan is requested in less
than two seconds, iwlwifi will not do the second scan and will pass the
error code -EAGAIN back to mac80211 where it quickly dies. The error
code is not passed along to the calling program wpa_supplicant. After a
timeout, wpa_supplicant will just give up but it will not know why the
scan failed. This is a weakness in the design.
I ran into this issue when I was trying to figure out why it takes more
an a minute for NetworkManager to connect after Networking has been
disabled and then re-enabled. I found a good deal of unnecessary work
being done because mac80211 requests authentication when the interface
is not configured, the ANY mode. I created an experimental passive
(NOTANY) mode for mac80211 to eliminate this case. Then NetworkManager
became so fast that I ran into the iwlwifi 2 second delay next scan
issue which we are discussing.
The patch resolves the problem by bypassing the delay if the scan request
is a direct scan. It should do less harm to the hardware.

This is in particular true for rt2x00 who needs to know the

By passing the ieee80211_key_conf pointer it assures us that
drivers can make full use of all information that it should know
