HT and no-HT rt2x00 devices use a partly different TX descriptor.
Optimize the tx desciptor memory layout by putting the PLCP and HT
substructs into a union and introduce a new driver flag to decide which
TX desciptor format is used by the device.
This saves us the expensive PLCP calculation fOr HT devices and the HT
descriptor setup on no-HT devices.

All rt2x00 devices used the same Tx and Rx ring size (24 entries) till
now. Newer devices (like rt2800) can however make use of a larger TX and
RX ring due to 11n capabilities (AMPDUs of size 64 for example).
Hence, bring rt2x00 in sync with the legacy drivers and use the same TX
and RX ring sizes. Also remove the global defines RX_ENTRIES, TX_ENTRIES,
BEACON_ENTRIES and ATIM_ENTRIES and use per driver values.
That is 24 entries for rt2400pci, 32 entries for rt2500pci, rt2500usb,

The watchdog for rt2800usb triggers frequently causing all URB's
to be canceled often enough to interrupt the normal TX flow.
More research indicated that not the URB upload to the USB host
were hanging, but instead the TX status reports.
To correctly detect what is going on, we introduce Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE
which is an index counter between Q_INDEX_DONE and Q_INDEX and indicates
if the frame has been transfered to the device.
This also requires the rt2x00queue timeout functions to be updated
to differentiate between a DMA timeout (time between Q_INDEX and
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE timeout) and a STATUS timeout (time between
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE and Q_INDEX_DONE timeout)
All Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE code was taken from the RFC from
Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> for the implementation
for watchdog for rt2800pci.

All access to queue->entries through the Q_INDEX/Q_INDEX_DONE
variables must be done using spinlock protection. It is best
to manage this completely from rt2x00queue.c.
For safely looping through all entries in the queue, the function
rt2x00queue_for_each_entry is added which will walk from from a index
range in a safe manner.
This also fixes rt2x00usb which walked the entries list from
0 to length to kill each entry (killing entries must be done

Move all TX and RX completion handling into a work structure,
which is handeled on the mac80211 workqueue. This simplifies
the code in rt2x00lib since it no longer needs to check if the
device is USB or PCI to decide which mac80211 function should be used.
In the watchdog some changes are needed since it can no longer rely
on the TX completion function to be run while looping through the
entries. (Both functions now work on the same workqueue, so this
would deadlock). So the watchdog now waits for the URB to return,
and handle the TX status report directly.
As a side-effect, the debugfs entry for the RX queue now correctly
displays the positions of the INDEX and INDEX_DONE counters. This
also implies that it is not possible to perform checks like queue_empty()
and queue_full() on the RX queue.

Right now all frames mac80211 hands to the driver
have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set to
request TX status. This isn't really necessary, only
the injected frames need TX status (the latter for
hostapd) so move setting this flag.
The rate control algorithms also need TX status, but
they don't require it.
Also, rt2x00 uses that bit for its own purposes and
seems to require it being set for all frames, but
that can be fixed in rt2x00.
This doesn't really change anything for any drivers
but in the future drivers using hw-rate control may
opt to not report TX status for frames that don't
have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set.

rt2800usb will gain the most out of this, because

However this code might benefit at least rt73usb as

rt2500usb will benefit because for the TX and PRIO

send out in a single burst. Off course we shouldn't let the queue fill
up entirely, thus we introduce a 10% threshold which, when reached,
will force the frames to be send out regardless of the frame.
In addition we should prevent queues to become full in such a way
that the tx() handler can fail. Instead of stopping the queue when
it is full, we should stop it when it is below the threshold.
