trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.

this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.

for signal:

  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB     - dB difference to unspecified reference point
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM    - dBm, difference to 1mW

for noise we currently only have dBm:

  IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM     - dBm, difference to 1mW

if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.

i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

Up to now, key manipulation is supposed to run under RTNL to
avoid concurrent manipulations and also allow the set_key()
hardware callback to sleep. This is not feasible because STA
structs are rcu-protected and thus a lot of operations there
cannot take the RTNL. Also, key references are rcu-protected
so we cannot do things atomically.

This patch changes key locking completely:
 * key operations are now atomic
 * hardware crypto offload is enabled and disabled from
   a workqueue, due to that key freeing is also delayed
 * debugfs code is also run from a workqueue
 * keys reference STAs (and vice versa!) so during STA
   unlink the STAs key reference is removed but not the
   keys STA reference, to avoid races key todo work is
   run before STA destruction.
 * fewer STA operations now need the RTNL which was
   required due to key operations

This fixes the locking problems lockdep pointed out and also
makes things more light-weight because the rtnl isn't required
as much.

Note that the key todo lock/key mutex are global locks, this
is not required, of course, they could be per-hardware instead.

This reverts commit 6c4711b4.

That patch breaks mesh config comparison between beacons/probe reponses, so
every beacon from a mesh network would be added as a new bss. Since the
comparison has to be performed for every received beacon I believe it is best to
save the mesh config in a format easy to compare, rather than do a bunch of
unaligned accesses to compare field by field.

When we take down an interface, we need to remove the STA info
items that belong to it because otherwise we might invoke a
sta_notify() callback in the driver when we later delete the
STA entries, but in that case the driver will already have
removed its knowledge of the interface they belonged to leading
to confusion. Also, we could invoke the set_tim() callback after
the driver removed its knowledge of the interface, which can
lead to a crash if it requests a beacon with a then-invalid vif
pointer!

A side effect of this patch is that, because it was easier, it
disallows changing the WDS peer while an interface is up. Should
that actually be necessary, it can be added back, but the WDS
peer STA entry may not be added while the interface is UP so for
now I've simplified the WDS peer's STA entry lifetime management.

This makes access to the STA hash table/list use RCU to protect
against freeing of items. However, it's not a true RCU, the
copy step is missing: whenever somebody changes a STA item it
is simply updated. This is an existing race condition that is
now somewhat understandable.

This patch also fixes the race key freeing vs. STA destruction
by making sure that sta_info_destroy() is always called under
RTNL and frees the key.

This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.

Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.

Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.

I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.
