ath5k sets up a mapping table from the hardware rate index to
the rate index used by mac80211; however, we have seen some
received frames with incorrect rate indexes. Such frames
normally get dropped with a warning in __ieee80211_rx(),
but it doesn't include enough information to track down the
error.
This patch adds a warning to hw_to_driver_rix for any lookups
that result in a rate index of -1, then returns a valid rate so
the frame can be processed.

We currently send beacons directly from the interrupt routine. This
can hold up interrupt processing in beaconing modes and makes the
ISR somewhat more complex. Move it to a tasklet like rx and tx.

Based on a patch by Elias Oltmanns, we call ath5k_init in resume even
if we didn't previously open the device. Besides starting up the
device unnecessarily, this also causes an oops on rmmod because
mac80211 will not invoke ath5k_stop and softirqs are left running after
the module has been unloaded. Add a new state bit, ATH_STAT_STARTED,
to indicate that we have been started up.

There's really no reason for mac80211 to be using its
own interface type defines. Use the nl80211 types and
simplify the configuration code a bit: there's no need
to translate them any more now.

Beacons setup and config was racy with beacon send. Ensure that
ISR and reset functions see consistent state of bbuf.
Use also dev_kfree_skb_any in ath5k_txbuf_free since we call it
from atomic now.

cleanup the rates structures used by ath5k. instead of separate driver and
mac80211 rate structures we now setup a static ieee80211_rate array and use it
directly. no conversion between two different rate structures has to be done
any more. a lot of unused and confusing junk was deleted.
renamed ath5k_getchannels into ath5k_setup_bands because this is what it does.
rewrote it to copy the bitrates correctly for each band. this is necessary for
running different hardware with the same driver (e.g. 5211 and 5212 based
cards).
add special handling of rates for AR5211 chipsets: it uses different rate codes
for CCK rates (which are actually like the other chips but with a 0xF mask).
setup a hardware code to rate index reverse mapping table for getting the rate
index of received frames.
the rates for control frames which have to be set in
ath5k_hw_write_rate_duration are now in one single array.

When signal is noisy, hardware can use all RX buffers and since the last
entry in the list is self-linked, it overwrites the entry until we link
new buffers.
Ensure that we don't free this last one until we are 100% sure that it
is not used by the hardware anymore to not cause memory curruption as
can be seen below.
This is done by checking next buffer in the list. Even after that we
know that the hardware refetched the new link and proceeded further
(the next buffer is ready) we can finally free the overwritten buffer.
We discard it since the status in its descriptor is overwritten (OR-ed
by new status) too.

This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit
information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra
memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit,
a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
is kept outside of the union.
A number of fixes were done by Ivo, as well as the rt2x00 part
of this patch.

Also i figured out a way to process rate vallue found
on status descriptors, it's still buggy but we are getting
closer (i think it improved stability a little).

use SWBA (software beacon alert) interrupts to keep track of the next beacon
time und check if a HW merge (automatic TSF update) has happened on every
received beacon with the same BSSID.
this is necessary because the atheros hardware will silently update the local
TSF in IBSS mode, but not its beacon timers. if the TSF is ahead of the beacon
timers no beacons are sent until the timers wrap around (typically after about
1 minute).
this solution is not very nice, since we have to look into every beacon, but
there is apparently no other way to detect HW merges.

the beacon interval is passed by mac80211 in TU already, so we can directly use
it without conversion. also update the comments about TU (1 TU is defined by

This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of
a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This
structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and
contains a variable length driver-use data area.
This has two advantages:
* removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better
for working with network namespaces and performance
* allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without
having to allocate own lists/hash tables
