All current rate control algorithms agree to send management and no-ack
frames at the lowest rate. They also agree to do this when sta
and the private rate control data is NULL. We add a hlper to mac80211
for this and simplify the rate control algorithm code.

Developers wishing to make enhancements to rate control algorithms
are for broadcast/multicast can opt to not use this in their
gate_rate() mac80211 callback.

For regular frames we use 2 retries for MRR segments [0-2].
For the last MRR segment [3] we use 4.

MRR[0] = 2

We were not differentiating quality between legacy and HT
configurations. We change this to consider the differences.

New theory for reporting quality:

At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 7  reliably.
At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 15 reliably.
At a hardware RSSI of 35 you should be able use 54 Mbps reliably.

MCS 7  is the highets MCS index usable by a 1-stream device.
MCS 15 is the highest MCS index usable by a 2-stream device.

All ath9k devices are either 1-stream or 2-stream.

How many bars you see is derived from the qual reporting.

A more elaborate scheme can be used here but it requires tables
of SNR/throughput for each possible mode used. For the MCS table
you can refer to the wireless wiki:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/ieee80211/802.11n

Within mac80211, we often need to copy the rx status into
skb->cb. This is wasteful, as drivers could be building it
in there to start with. This patch changes the API so that
drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now
accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb). It also updates all
drivers to pass the rx status in there, but only by making
them memcpy() it into place before the call to the receive
function (ieee80211_rx(_irqsafe)). Each driver can now be
optimised on its own schedule.

When we reclaim the tx desc, we always assume that the
last desc is a holding desc, which is not true, and skip it.
If the tx queue is drained during channel change, internal
reset and etc, the last descriptor may not be the holding
descriptor and we fail to reclaim them. This results in the
following two issues.

1. Tx stuck - We drop all the frames coming from upper layer
due to shortage in tx desc.

2. Crash - If we fail to reclaim a tx descriptor, we miss to
update the tx BA window with the seq number of the frame
associated to that desc, which, at some point, result in
the following crash due to an assert failure in ath_tx_addto_baw().

This patch fixes these two issues.

An earlier commit, 'ath9k: remove dummy PCI "retry timeout" fix', removed
code that was documented to disable RETRY_TIMEOUT register (PCI reg
0x41) since it was claimed to be a no-op. However, it turns out that
there are some combinations of hosts and ath9k-supported cards for
which this is not a no-op (reg 0x41 has value 0x80, not 0) and this
code (or something similar) is needed. In such cases, the driver may
be next to unusable due to very frequent PCI FATAL interrupts from the
card.

Reverting the earlier commit, i.e., restoring the RETRY_TIMEOUT
disabling, seems to resolve the issue. Since the removal of this code
was not based on any known issue and was purely a cleanup change, the
safest option here is to just revert that commit. Should there be
desire to clean this up in the future, the change will need to be
tested with a more complete coverage of cards and host systems.
