The variable is added to allow the driver an easy access to
it's own hw->priv when the op is invoked.
This fixes a crash in wlcore because it was relying on a
station pointer that wasn't initialized yet. It's the wrong
way to fix the crash, but it solves the problem for now and
it does make sense to have the hw pointer here.

Some devices, like iwlwifi, have RSS queues. This may cause a
situation where a disassociation is handled in control path and
results in station removal while there are prior RX frames
that were still not processed in other queues. When they will
be processed the station will be gone, and the frames will be
dropped.
Add a synchronization interface to avoid that. When driver returns
from the synchronization mac80211 may remove the station.

If drv_start() fails during hw_restart, all the running
interfaces are being closed/stopped, which results in
drv_stop() being called, although the driver was never
started successfully.
This might cause drivers to perform operations on uninitialized
memory (as they assume it was initialized on drv_start)
Consider the local->started flag, and call the driver's stop()
op only if drv_start() succeeded before.
Move drv_start() and drv_stop() to driver-ops.c, as they are no
longer simple wrappers.

This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to

This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which
they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues
short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs.
The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver -
queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by
calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue
management later without changing drivers using this code.
This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU
aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.

In many cases, drivers can filter things like beacons that will
skew statistics reported by mac80211. To get correct statistics
in these cases, call drivers to obtain statistics and let them
override all values, filling values from mac80211 if the driver
didn't provide them. Not all of them make sense for the driver
to fill, so some are still always done by mac80211.
Note that this doesn't currently allow a driver to say "I know
this value is wrong, don't report it at all", or to sum it up
with a mac80211 value (as could be useful for "dropped misc"),
that can be added if it turns out to be needed.

Currently, mac80211 allows drivers to keep RCU-protected station
references that are cleared when the station is removed from the
driver and consequently needs to synchronize twice, once before
removing the station from the driver (so it can guarantee that
the station is no longer used in TX towards the driver) and once
after the station is removed from the driver.
Add a new pre-RCU-synchronisation station removal operation to
the API to allow drivers to clear/invalidate their RCU-protected
station pointers before the RCU synchronisation.
This will allow removing the second synchronisation by changing
the driver API so that the driver may no longer assume a valid
RCU-protected pointer after sta_remove/sta_state returns.
The alternative to this would be to synchronize_rcu() in all the
