Extend struct cfg80211_bitrate_mask to actually use a bitfield mask
instead of just a single fixed or maximum rate index. This change
itself does not modify the behavior (except for debugfs files), but it
prepares cfg80211 and mac80211 for a new nl80211 command for setting
which rates can be used in TX rate control.
Since frames are now going through the rate control algorithm
unconditionally, the internal IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RCALGO flag can now
be removed. The RC implementations can use the rate_idx_mask value to
optimize their behavior if only a single rate is enabled.
The old max_rate_idx in struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control is maintained
(but commented as deprecated) for backwards compatibility with existing
RC implementations. Once these implementations have been updated to
use the more generic rate_idx_mask, the max_rate_idx value can be
removed.

If the basic rate set is configured to not include the lowest rate
(e.g., basic rate set = 6, 12, 24 Mbps in IEEE 802.11g mode), the AP
should not send out broadcast frames at 1 Mbps. This type of
configuration can be used to optimize channel usage in cases where
there is no need for backwards compatibility with IEEE 802.11b-only
devices.
In AP mode, mac80211 was unconditionally using the lowest rate for
Beacon frames and similarly, with all rate control algorithms that use
rate_control_send_low(), the lowest rate ended up being used for all
broadcast frames (and all unicast frames that are sent before
association). Change this to take into account the basic rate
configuration in AP mode, i.e., use the lowest rate in the basic rate
set instead of the lowest supported rate when selecting the rate.

The original code was correct in 802.11a mode only, 802.11b/g uses
different clock rates. The new code uses values taken from FreeBSD HAL
and should be correct for all modes including turbo modes.
The former rate calculation was used by slope coefficient calculation
function ath5k_hw_write_ofdm_timings. However, this function requires
the 802.11a values even in 802.11g mode. Thus the use of
ath5k_hw_htoclock was replaced by hardcoded values. Possibly the slope
coefficient calculation is not related to clock rate at all.

The newer single chip hardware family of chipsets have not been
experiencing issues with power saving set by default with recent
fixes merged (even into stable). The remaining issues are only
reported with AR5416 and since enabling PS by default can increase
power savings considerably best to take advantage of that feature
as this has been tested properly.
For more details on this issue see the bug report:

When ieee80211_monitor_select_queue encounters data frames, it selects
the WMM AC based on skb->priority and assumes that skb->priority
contains a valid 802.1d tag. However this assumption is incorrect, since
ieee80211_select_queue has not been called at this point.
If skb->priority > 7, an array overrun occurs, which could lead to
invalid values, resulting in crashes in the tx path.
Fix this by setting skb->priority based on the 802.11 header for QoS
frames and using the default AC for all non-QoS frames.

Setting the mac address from user space was buggy. For example, when
executing this command:
ip link set wlan0 address 00:1f:df:88:cd:55
mac80211 used the address 01:00:00:1f:df:88 instead. It was shifted two
bytes.
The reason was that the addr (type of void *) provided to
ieee80211_change_mac() is actually of type struct sockaddr, not just the
mac address array. Also the call to eth_mac_addr() expects the address to
be struct sockaddr.

Since I removed the master netdev, we've been
keeping internal queues only, and even before
that we never told the networking stack above
the virtual interfaces about congestion. This
means that packets are queued in mac80211 and
the upper layers never know, possibly leading
to memory exhaustion and other problems.
This patch makes all interfaces multiqueue and
uses ndo_select_queue to put the packets into
queues per AC. Additionally, when the driver
stops a queue, we now stop all corresponding
queues for the virtual interfaces as well.
The injection case will use VO by default for
non-data frames, and BE for data frames, but
downgrade any data frames according to ACM. It
needs to be fleshed out in the future to allow
chosing the queue/AC in radiotap.
