This adds a fastpath for the common workloads to the
MAC suspend flushing.
In common workloads the FIFO flush will take between 100 and
200 microseconds. So we want to avoid calling msleep() in the
common case, as it will waste over 800 microseconds + scheduler
overhead.

This fastpath will hit in workloads where only small chunks
of data are transmitted (downloading a file) or when a TX rate bigger
or equal to 24MBit/s is used when transmitting lots of stuff (iperf).
So in the commonly used workloads it will basically always hit.

In case the fastpath is not hit, there's no real performance or latency
disadvantage from that.

And yes, I measured this. So this is not one of these
bad Programmer Likeliness Assumptions that are always wrong. ;)

This adds PIO support back (D'oh!) for PCMCIA devices.
This is a complete rewrite of the old PIO code. It does actually work
and we get reasonable performance out of it on a modern machine.
On a PowerBook G4 I get a few MBit for TX and a few more for RX.
So it doesn't work as well as DMA (of course), but it's a _lot_ faster
than the old PIO code (only got a few kBit with that).

The limiting factor is the host CPU speed. So it will generate 100%
CPU usage when the network interface is heavily loaded. A voluntary preemption
point in the RX path makes sure Desktop Latency isn't hurt.

PIO is needed for 16bit PCMCIA devices, as we really don't want to poke with
the braindead DMA mechanisms on PCMCIA sockets. Additionally, not all
PCMCIA sockets do actually support DMA in 16bit mode (mine doesn't).

Rename the DMA ring pointers to have more descriptive and standard
names. Also remove the 6th unused TX ring. We can add it back later,
if we need it. The unused TX-status rx-ring is also removed, as that's
only used by legacy devices not supported by this driver anyway.

This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.

Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.

Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.

I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

This adds printk messages with basic information about the driver being loaded.
This information includes a summary of the compiled-in features, which
simplifies bug-reporting and debugging a lot.
Also a firmware ID is printed. This is a unique identifier blob for a specific
version of the firmware. This ID is attached to a specific version of the firmware
blob in b43-fwcutter (see fwcutter git).
This helps users to select the right firmware for their device.
This also makes it possible to use automated scripts to fetch and extract the right
firmware for the driver. (the script will grep the .ko for the "Firmware-ID: xxx" string.
While the driver might still support other versions of the firmware for backward
compatibility, this will always print out the officially supported version, which
people _should_ use.

This zeros out all microcode related memory before loading
the microcode.

This also fixes initialization of the MAC control register.
The _only_ place where we overwrite the contents of the MAC control
register is at the beginning of b43_chip_init().
All other places must do read() -> mask/set -> write() to not
overwrite existing bits.

This also adds a longer delay for waiting for the microcode
to initialize itself. It seems that the current timeout is sufficient
on all available devices, but there's no real reason why we shouldn't
wait for up to one second. Slow embedded devices might exist.
Better safe than sorry.

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
