This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode.
The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have
the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly
a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand.

This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into
sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that
way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only
applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other
functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also
rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

Hardware with AMPDU queues currently has broken aggregation.

This patch fixes it by making all A-MPDUs go over the regular AC queues,
but keeping track of the hardware queues in mac80211. As a first rough
version, it actually stops the AC queue for extended periods of time,
which can be removed by adding buffering internal to mac80211, but is
currently not a huge problem because people rarely use multiple TIDs
that are in the same AC (and iwlwifi currently doesn't operate as AP).

This is a short-term fix, my current medium-term plan, which I hope to
execute soon as well, but am not sure can finish before .30, looks like
this:
 1) rework the internal queuing layer in mac80211 that we use for
    fragments if the driver stopped queue in the middle of a fragmented
    frame to be able to queue more frames at once (rather than just a
    single frame with its fragments)
 2) instead of stopping the entire AC queue, queue up the frames in a
    per-station/per-TID queue during aggregation session initiation,
    when the session has come up take all those frames and put them
    onto the queue from 1)
 3) push the ampdu queue layer abstraction this patch introduces in
    mac80211 into the driver, and remove the virtual queue stuff from
    mac80211 again

This plan will probably also affect ath9k in that mac80211 queues the
frames instead of passing them down, even when there are no ampdu queues.

mac80211 currently assumes init_net for all interfaces,
so really will not cope well with network namespaces,
at least at this time.

To change this, we would have keep track of the netns
in addition to the ifindex, which is not something I
want to think about right now.

As far as I can tell, there are possible lockups because both the RX
session_timer and TX addba_resp_timer are del_timer_sync'ed under
the sta spinlock which both timer functions take. Additionally, the
TX agg code seems to leak memory when TX aggregation is not disabled
before the sta_info is freed.

Fix this by making the free code a little smarter in the RX agg case,
and actually make the sta_info_destroy code free the TX agg info in
the TX agg case. We won't notify the peer, but it'll notice something
is wrong anyway, and normally this only happens after we've told it
in some other way we will no longer talk to it.

When a directed tim bit is set, mac80211 currently disables power save
ands sends a null frame to the AP. But if dynamic power save is
disabled, mac80211 will not enable power save ever gain. Fix this by
adding ps-poll functionality to mac80211. When a directed tim bit is
set, mac80211 sends a ps-poll frame to the AP and checks for the more
data bit in the returned data frames.

Using ps-poll is slower than waking up with null frame, but it's saves more
power in cases where the traffic is low. Userspace can control if either
ps-poll or null wakeup method is used by enabling and disabling dynamic
power save.

Currently mac80211 checks for the multicast tim bit from beacons,
disables power save and sends a null frame if the bit is set. This was
added to support ath9k. But this is a bit controversial because the AP will
send multicast frames immediately after the beacon and the time constraints
are really high. Relying mac80211 to be fast enough here might not be
reliable in all situations. And there's no need to send a null frame, AP
will send the frames immediately after the dtim beacon no matter what.

Also if dynamic power save is disabled (iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 0)
currently mac80211 disables power save whenever the multicast bit is set
but it's never enabled again after receiving the first multicast/broadcast
frame.

The current implementation is not usable on p54/stlc45xx and the
easiest way to fix this is to remove the multicast tim bit check
altogether. Handling multicast tim bit in host is rare, most of the
designs do this in firmware/hardware, so it's better not to have it in
mac80211. It's a lot better to do this in firmware/hardware, or if
that's not possible it could be done in the driver.

Also renamed the function to ieee80211_check_tim() to follow the style
of the file.

This issue happens only when we are associated with a 11n AP and power save

we check if the queues are stopped in _ieee80211_tx and return TX_AGAIN to
ieee8011_tx which leads to the warning message.

Monitor mode is able to TX by using injected frames. We should
not allow injected frames to be sent unless allowed by regulatory
rules. Since AP mode uses a monitor interfaces to transmit
management frames we have to take care to not break AP mode as
well while resolving this. We can deal with this by allowing compliant
APs solutions to inform mac80211 if their monitor interface is
intended to be used for an AP by setting a cfg80211 flag for the
monitor interface. hostapd, for example, currently does its own
checks to ensure AP mode is not used on channels which require radar
detection. Once such solutions are available it can can add this
flag for monitor interfaces.
