Add missing DEBUG_FS dependency for ATH9K_DEBUGFS in ath9k's Kconfig.

In my setups, ath9k's debugfs files are most of the time much more
useful than the messages generated by enabling CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG along
with the right debug flags.
Since CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG comes with a noticeable overhead on embedded
systems, this patch makes it possible to use the debugfs files without
that option.

ath9k and ath9k_htc share a lot of common hardware characteristics.
They only differ in that ath9k_htc works with a target CPU and ath9k
works directly with the hardware. ath9k_htc will do *some* things in
the firmware, but a lot of others on the host.

The common 802.11n hardware code is already shared through the ath9k_hw
module. Common helpers amongst all Atheros drivers can use the ath module,
this includes ath5k and ar9170 as users. But there is some common driver
specific helpers which are not exactly hardware code which ath9k and
ath9k_htc can share. We'll be using ath9k_common for this to avoid
bloating the ath module and the common 802.11n hardware module ath9k_hw.

We start by sharing skb pre and post processing in preparation for a hand
off to mac80211.

With the WLAN_PRE80211 drivers moved to drivers/staging, this
distinction becomes unnecessary.

hw code for Atheros 802.11n hardware is commmon between
different chipsets. This moves this code into a separate
module, the next expected user of this code will be
the ath9k_htc module.

The ath9k/ dir is now selected by ATH9K_HW, an option which
gets selected by either ath9k or ath9k_htc, but remains
invisible for user menuconfig configuration. If either
ath9k or ath9k_htc will be compiled into the kernel
ath9k_hw will also be compiled in.

ath9k uses this for now, ath9k_htc is expected to re-use this
as well. We lave ath5k as is, but it certainly can also be
converted later.

The ath9k module parameter and debugfs entry is kept.

ath9k supports the AR9002 family of chipsets. This includes
the AR9285 and the miniPCI AR9223 and AR9220 (which themselves
have AR9280+AR5133).

We now refer people to the wiki page as it seems this is not
as popular as we would have hoped.

This ports the ath9k rfkill code to the new API offered by
cfg80211 and thus removes a lot of useless stuff.

This change creates a new module, ath.ko, which includes code that can
be shared between ath5k, ath9k and ar9170. For now, extract most of the ath9k
regulatory code so it can also be used in ath5k.

CONFIG_ATH9K=y results in build issues if CONFIG_RFKILL=m since ath9k
does not depend on rfkill in kconfig (i.e., CONFIG_RFKILL is used to
select whether to enable rfkill in ath9k), but uses its functions if
rfkill is enabled. Enforce ath9k to be build as a module if
CONFIG_RFKILL=m to avoid this invalid configuration.
