We do not know what max power to allow until a device is targeting
a channel, therefore only allow changing tx power if a channel is defined.
Also make use of the channel's max power setting as defined by
regulatory rules before allowing the user to use the requested power
setting. If the user asked us to figure it out we use the max allowed
by regulatory.

We never clearly defined the semantics of the sta_notify callback
and it was originally posted for iwlwifi which still doesn't use
it at all. With the recent HT rework ath9k started relying on it,
but I made a mistake there in that I made ath9k assume the HT
information has already been filled in at sta_notify time. This
isn't a hard thing to do, so do it.

NL80211_ATTR_MESH_PARAMS, which enumerates the various mesh configuration
parameters.
Moved struct mesh_config from mac80211/ieee80211_i.h to net/cfg80211.h.
nl80211_get_mesh_params and nl80211_set_mesh_params unpack the netlink messages
and ask the driver to get or set the configuration. This is done via two new
function stubs, get_mesh_params and set_mesh_params, in struct cfg80211_ops.

I noticed that when for some reason [1] the probe or auth times
out, wpa_supplicant doesn't realise this and only tries the next
AP when it runs into its own timeout, which is ten seconds, and
that's quite long. Fix this by making mac80211 notify userspace
that it didn't associate.
[1] my wrt350n in mixed B/G/HT mode often runs into this, maybe
it's because one of the antennas is broken off and for whatever
reason it decides to use that antenna to transmit the response
frames (auth, probe); I do see beacons fine so it's not totally
broken. Works fine in pure-G mode.

2. attaches correctly high memory part of the host command buffer
3. changes structure of TFD TB
instead of describing transmit buffer (TB) tuple it describes single
TB and makes code more readable on price of one unaligned access
4. eliminates using of IWL_GET/SET_BITs for TFD handling
5. renames TFD structures to mach the HW spec
6. reduces iwl_tx_info size by reserving first TB to the host command

This makes CONFIG_IEEE80211 invisible. The drivers that require it
(ipw2100, ipw2200, hostap) select it, and everybody else really
shouldn't even think about using it. Also, since there really is
no point in compiling anything without crypto support these days,
remove the crypto options and just enable them, leaving only the
debugging option which only shows up when a driver is select that
requires it. This makes it hard to enable, but most people wouldn't

We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.
OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug",
and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct
reference of netdev->priv first.
In this driver, I don't simply use netdev_priv() to replace netdev->priv.
The reason is:
Pointer netdev->priv was changed in this driver, but it shouldn't.
Because the memory was allocated when alloc_netdev() and netdev->priv
should always point to that memory.
So I use netdev->ml_priv to replace netdev->priv.
After replacing, both ai and ai->wifidev->ml_priv point to the same memory.

This change adds short slot handling for 8187B variant of rtl8187 chips.
Some things to note about changes done:
* Values used are chosen to met 802.11-2007 spec. This raised a question
about SIFS value used with 8187L: 0x22 (34) doesn't match any spec
value. For now just don't change 8187L, but is something to be
looked at.
* On 8187B, the location of EIFS register is at the same place as BRSR+1
of struct rtl818x_csr. Unfortunately there is no clean way to
accomodate 8187B differences currently, just use address of BRSR+1 and
comment about it. The same thing happens for Ack timeout register,
that is on CARRIER_SENSE_COUNTER location of 8187L. The eifs and ack
timeout values are in units of 4us. All these registers information
was gathered from references being the vendor gpl driver and 8180
datasheet, unfortunately there is no information about this on 8187B
datasheet. Also the ack timeout value was inspired by the same
calculation as done on rt2x00.
