Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: decrease size of ath9k.ko

The patch defines the fields of 'valid_single_stream' and 'valid' in
struct ath_rate_table as char type, so decrease the size of ath9k.ko
about 2KB.

Currently the rate control tx status update gets called for every
subframe of an A-MPDU, and ath9k marks the frame with the relevant
status update with an internal flag. This not suitable for rate control
algorithms using the standard mac80211 rate control API, so fix this by
using IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU for marking the correct frames that
should be processed.

Speaking of 802.11n rates in terms of Mbps doesn't really developers
and is just useful for users. To aid debugging add the MCS index back
and an HT20/HT40 mode.

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.
