o add net80211 support for a tdma vap that is built on top of the
existing adhoc-demo support
o add tdma scheduling of frame transmission to the ath driver; it's
conceivable other devices might be capable of this too in which case
they can make use of the 802.11 protocol additions etc.
o add minor bits to user tools that need to know: ifconfig to setup and
configure, new statistics in athstats, and new debug mask bits
While the architecture can support >2 slots in a TDMA BSS the current
design is intended (and tested) for only 2 slots.

(e.g. ath): we must check the key index and not whether the key
points at a cipher other than "undef". This looks like it's been
broken for a while. Might be worth adding an explicit clear cipher
at some point though this would require changes to the usage of
IEEE80211_KEY_UNDEFINED.

really was meant to be 256. Adjust usage accordingly and replace
bogus usage of this value in checking IEEE channel #'s.
NB: this causes an ABI change; ifconfig must be recompiled
indicates if an association id is required before outbound traffic
is permitted. This cleans up the previous change that broke mcast
traffic "to the stack" in ap mode as a side effect.

directly include only the header files needed. This reduces the
unneeded spamming of various headers into lots of files.
For now, this leaves us with very few modules including vnet.h
and thus needing to depend on opt_route.h.

capabilities reported by the ap. These need to be cross-checked
against the local configuration in the vap. Previously we were
only checking the ap capabilities which meant that if an ap reported
it was ff-capable but we were not setup to use them we'd try to do
ff aggregation and drop the frame.
There are a number of problems to be fixed here but applying this
fix immediately as the problem causes all traffic to stop (and has
not workaround).

in sta and adhoc modes; this should've been done forever ago as most all
drivers use this hook to set per-station transmit parameters such as for
tx rate control
o adjust drivers to remove explicit calls to the driver newassoc method
(unless explicitly locked to mode 11b) so when we join the bss the
channel attached to the scan cache entry may need to be demoted.
o demote to 11b if the ap is advertising 11b rates
o skip the ap if it's 11b but we're locked to 11g (could consider this
advisory but for now treat it as mandatory)
o handle an odd edge case, if there is a fixed transmit rate for 11g
then the rate check against the 11b ap will fail, try to demote to
11b and retry the rate check

the net80211 layer has complete control over the handling of mgt frames
(in particular, the ac, tx rate, and retry count); this also allows us
to purge the M_LINK0 flag that was attached to mbufs to mark them as
needing encryption for shared key auth
o change ieee80211_send_setup to take a tid parameter so it can be used
to setup QoS frames
o correct BAR frame construction for AMPDU
o retransmit BAR frames until ACK'd or timeout (use tunables to
control behaviour, default is very aggressive)
o defer seq# update until BAR frame is ACK'd
o add BAR response handling callback for driver to interpose and
push new state to device or push pending aggregates
While here also:
o add backpointer to node in the per-tid tx aggregation data structure
o move ampdu tx state setup/teardown work to separate functions
o yank useless code for setting fixed rate through media opts: this
mechanism didn't scale to HT rates and couldn't handle multiple bands;
fixed tx rates are set with the IEEE80211_IOC_TXPARAMS ioctl

Introduce INIT_VNET_*() initializer macros, VNET_FOREACH() iterator
macros, and CURVNET_SET() context setting macros, all currently
resolving to NOPs.
Prepare for virtualization of selected SYSCTL objects by introducing a
family of SYSCTL_V_*() macros, currently resolving to their global
counterparts, i.e. SYSCTL_V_INT() == SYSCTL_INT().
Move selected #defines from sys/sys/vimage.h to newly introduced header
files specific to virtualized subsystems (sys/net/vnet.h,
sys/netinet/vinet.h etc.).
All the changes are verified to have zero functional impact at this
point in time by doing MD5 comparision between pre- and post-change
object files(*).
