ath5k only generated the beacon when bss_info_changed() was called,
but for AP mode this is not enough, because the TIM IE would never
get updated and consequently PS mode clients wouldn't know about
buffered frames.  Instead, get a new beacon on every SWBA interrupt.

After some debuging we were hitting the following bugs so far...

 * Due to huge channel list hostapd couldn't get infos from the driver
 and couldn't set the channel. If we manualy set the channel after
 hostapd starts (by setting channel to 0 -auto), beacons are sent
 but they wont show up on scan because they are malformed (they have
 channel = 0 because hostapd doesn't update the channel info -this is
 probably a hostapd bug so i'm CCing Jouni) and they get dropped. Bob
 fixed this by only allowing standard channels to be registered so
 now hostapd works as expected.

 * Docs (and HAL source) say that we must write 0 on timer0 when
 operating on AP mode to start TSF increment but this seems to
 mess with DBA in many cases and beacon queue never gets started.
 We fixed that on the previous patch.

 We have some more things to deal with...

 * For some reason (hw bug or something else) after restarting hostapd
 a few times, beacon inteval seems to change from 100ms to a sec
 (we get one beacon per sec).

 * We need to set sleep timers on STA mode and enable power saving +
 support PCF.

 ...but i think it's time we enable AP support "officialy" so that
 we can get more feedback from users. I ran ath5k with the mentioned
 patches + hostapd 0.6.8 and AP mode worked fine (it had some less
 throughput on my tests than IBSS but it worked).

* Write next beacon timer even on AP mode since without this we get
 no beacons + ath9k does it too.  Docs say that we must write 0 on
 this register on AP mode to start TSF increment, we do both to be
 on the safe side.

 * Fix num_tx_pending function, we never read the register :P that's
 why we got all those "beacon queue 7 didn't stop messages".

 * Put full prioriy on beacon queue, lock all queues with lower
 priority using the arblock and also bypass any arblock by seting
 the arblock ignore flag.

 * For the CAB queue (do we need this thing ?, it seems crap) since
 it's supposed to fire up after each beacon (we don't use it on driver
 part, ath9k/MadWiFi does), don't make it DBA gated but instead make
 it fire after each beacon by using the beacon sent gated flag.

 * Increase bmiss threshold to 10, that's what we used on MadWiFi for
 a long time. Also when we have pending frames on the beacon queue (we
 got a beacon that didn't make it on the air) it's more likely that
 the beacon queue never started, probably due to faulty DBA setting,
 so change that "beacon queue didn't stop" message.

 Tested this with AP mode and IBSS mode and seems to work fine ;-)

 Tested 2 different cards (a CM9 and an RF5112-based ubnt) and got
 the same output using a remote machine to measure per-packet rssi
 (conected the cards using attenuators). I also switched between
 various tx power levels and i saw an equal power change on the remote

 the same output on each rate.

We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
an AP.

This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.

NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due
      to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all
      drivers, some are updated in this patch.

Grabbing an ath5k_buf then dropping the lock is racy because the
referenced descriptor can be obtained in another thread and released
before the buffer is handed to the hardware.  Likewise, manipulating
sc->rxlink without the lock can lead to having multiple self-linked

Claiming every available 5 ghz channel has a couple of negative
side-effects: scanning takes a long time, and the channel list
overflows the available buffer space for netlink commands,
resulting in:

    $ iw phy phy0 info
    command failed: No buffer space available (-105)

This patch adds a modparam so people who want to see all the channels
can do so by passing all_channels=1.  By default users will see a
smaller list of channels.  This also halves scan time, from 10 seconds
down to less than 5 when using world regulatory.

ath5k sets up a mapping table from the hardware rate index to
the rate index used by mac80211; however, we have seen some
received frames with incorrect rate indexes.  Such frames
normally get dropped with a warning in __ieee80211_rx(),
but it doesn't include enough information to track down the
error.

This patch adds a warning to hw_to_driver_rix for any lookups
that result in a rate index of -1, then returns a valid rate so
the frame can be processed.
