mac80211's ieee80211_register_hw() is often called within the
probe path so it cannot assume the device's driver structure
has been attached yet so to create a workqueue instead of
using driver->name use the wiphy's phy%d name. The name doesn't
really matter anyway.

This should fix sporadic oopses found when we race to beat the
driver pointer setting. Not even sure how this was working properly.

Instead of hardcoding the used in/out endpoints
we should detect them by walking through all
available endpoints.

rt2800usb will gain the most out of this, because
the legacy drivers indicate that there are multiple
endpoints available.
However this code might benefit at least rt73usb as
well for the MIMO queues, and if we are really lucky
rt2500usb will benefit because for the TX and PRIO
queues.

Even if rt2500usb and rt73usb do not get better performance
after this patch, the endpoint detection still belongs to
rt2x00usb, and it shouldn't hurt to always try to detect
the available endpoints.

Race condition causes RX buffers to be accessed even before it is
initialized. The RX and TX buffers are initialized immediately after
the hardware is registered with mac80211. The mac80211 start callback
is ready to be fired once the device is registered for a case when the
wpa_supplicant is also running at the same time.

The same race condition is also possible for RKFILL registration
as RFKILL init happens after the device registration with mac80211
and it is possible that rfkill_register would be called even before
it is initialized.

This adds country IE parsing to mac80211 and enables its usage
within the new regulatory infrastructure in cfg80211. We parse
the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are
associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment
(indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE.

To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use
a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP
provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed
on the same country.

A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE
as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two
different countries.

In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country
the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory
domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another
intersection will be performed.

Note that you can determine if CRDA is present after loading cfg80211
