Realtek 8187B has a receive command queue to feedback beacon interrupt
and transmitted packet status. Use it to feedback mac80211 about status
of transmitted packets. Unfortunately in the course of testing I found
that the sequence number reported by hardware includes entire sequence
control in a 12 bit only field, so a workaround is done to check only
lowest bits.

Hin-Tak Leung reported that after the change "rtl8187: add short slot
handling for 8187B" his RTL8187B started to give low throughput on
network transfers. Turns out that the SIFS setting used isn't ok, it
doesn't look to be the real aSIFSTime, using the "magical" 0x22 value
like on other 818x variants as the vendor does too fixes the issue.

This change adds short slot handling for 8187B variant of rtl8187 chips.
Some things to note about changes done:
* Values used are chosen to met 802.11-2007 spec. This raised a question
  about SIFS value used with 8187L: 0x22 (34) doesn't match any spec
  value. For now just don't change 8187L, but is something to be
  looked at.
* On 8187B, the location of EIFS register is at the same place as BRSR+1
  of struct rtl818x_csr. Unfortunately there is no clean way to
  accomodate 8187B differences currently, just use address of BRSR+1 and
  comment about it. The same thing happens for Ack timeout register,
  that is on CARRIER_SENSE_COUNTER location of 8187L. The eifs and ack
  timeout values are in units of 4us. All these registers information
  was gathered from references being the vendor gpl driver and 8180
  datasheet, unfortunately there is no information about this on 8187B
  datasheet. Also the ack timeout value was inspired by the same
  calculation as done on rt2x00.

I've come to think that not providing sequence numbers for
the normal STA mode case was a mistake, at least two drivers
now had to implement code they wouldn't otherwise need, and
I believe at76_usb and adm8211 might be broken.

This patch makes mac80211 assign a sequence number to all
those frames that need one except beacons. That means that
if a driver only implements modes that do not do beaconing
it need not worry about the sequence number.

It is obviously good for userspace to know up front which

if adding such an interface might fail later because of
concurrency issues), so let's make cfg80211 aware of that.
For good measure, disallow adding interfaces in all other
modes so drivers don't forget to announce support for one mode
when they add it.

Some users of the RTL8187B have experienced difficulties since commit
49292d56 that introduced the power
management wext hooks. This difficulty has not made much sense until
it was realized that it was possible for mac80211 to make a call to the
config routine while that routine was already being executed. On this
device, it is necessary to loopback the TX when changing channels. Unless
this is properly restored, the device will lockup. A mutex now protects
the device state, and the private data in several places.

The problem was found by Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@mandriva.com.br>,
who also suggested this type of fix.

Wireless statistics produced by the RTL8187B driver are not particularly
informative about the strength of the received signal. From the data sheet
provided by Realtek, I discovered that certain parts of the RX header
should have the information necessary to calculate signal quality and
strength. With testing, it became clear that most of these quantities were
very jittery - only the AGC correlated with the signals expected from nearby
AP's. As a result, the quality and strength are derived from the agc value.
The scaling has been determined so that the numbers are close to those
obtained by b43 under the same conditions. The results are qualitatively
correct.

Statistics derived for the RTL8187 have not been changed.

The RX header variables have been renamed to match the quantites described
in the Realtek data sheet.

Some early versions of RTL8187B devices have a USB ID of 0x8187
rather than the 0x8189 of later models. In addition, it appears
that these early units also must be programmed with lower power.
Previous patches used the Product ID string to detect this situation,
but did not address the low power question. This patch uses the
hardware version and sets the power accordingly.

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.

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.
