This patch adds a new transmit path for hardware that supports 802.11 encapsulation offloading. In those cases 802.3 frames get passed directly to the driver allowing the hardware to handle the encapsulation. Some features such as monitor mode and TKIP would break when encapsulation offloading is enabled. If any of these get enabled, the code will alwyas fallback to the normal sw encapsulation data path. The patch defines a secondary netdev_ops struct that the device gets assigned if 802.11 encap support is available and enabled. The driver needs to enable the support on a per vif basis if it finds that all pre-reqs are meet.
