5463c4a485 Overhaul monitor mode handling:
o replace DLT_IEEE802_11 support in net80211 with DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO
  and remove explicit bpf support from wireless drivers; drivers now
  use ieee80211_radiotap_attach to setup shared data structures that
  hold the radiotap header for each packet tx/rx
o remove rx timestamp from the rx path; it was used only by the tdma support
  for debugging and was mostly useless due to it being 32-bits and mostly
  unavailable
o track DLT_IEEE80211_RADIO bpf attachments and maintain per-vap and
  per-com state when there are active taps
o track the number of monitor mode vaps
o use bpf tap and monitor mode vap state to decide when to collect radiotap
  state and dispatch frames; drivers no longer explicitly directly check
  bpf state or use bpf calls to tap frames
o handle radiotap state updates on channel change in net80211; drivers
  should not do this (unless they bypass net80211 which is almost always
  a mistake)
o update various drivers to be more consistent/correct in handling radiotap
o update ral to include TSF in radiotap'd frames
o add promisc mode callback to wi

e1d2045e3f Abort any scan on a fatal firmware. ic_scan_curchan is overridden to perform
the scan in firmware and this relies on the firmware to wake up the scan task
on completion.

5efea30f03 Create a taskqueue for each wireless interface which provides a serialised
sleepable context for net80211 driver callbacks. This removes the need for USB
and firmware based drivers to roll their own code to defer the chip programming
for state changes, scan requests, channel changes and mcast/promisc updates.
When a driver callback completes the hardware state is now guaranteed to have
been updated and is in sync with net80211 layer.

This nukes around 1300 lines of code from the wireless device drivers making
them more readable and less race prone.

The net80211 layer has been updated as follows
 - all state/channel changes are serialised on the taskqueue.
 - ieee80211_new_state() always queues and can now be called from any context
 - scanning runs from a single taskq function and executes to completion. driver
   callbacks are synchronous so the channel, phy mode and rx filters are
   guaranteed to be set in hardware before probe request frames are
   transmitted.

339ccfb391 Hoist 802.11 encapsulation up into net80211:
o call ieee80211_encap in ieee80211_start so frames passed down to drivers
  are already encapsulated
o remove ieee80211_encap calls in drivers
o fixup wi so it recreates the 802.3 head it requires from the 802.11
  header contents
o move fast-frame aggregation from ath to net80211 (conditional on
  IEEE80211_SUPPORT_SUPERG):
  - aggregation is now done in ieee80211_start; it is enabled when the
    packets/sec exceeds ieee80211_ffppsmin (net.wlan.ffppsmin) and frames
    are held on a staging queue according to ieee80211_ffagemax
    (net.wlan.ffagemax) to wait for a frame to combine with
  - drivers must call back to age/flush the staging queue (ath does this
    on tx done, at swba, and on rx according to the state of the tx queues
    and/or the contents of the staging queue)
  - remove fast-frame-related data structures from ath
  - add ieee80211_ff_node_init and ieee80211_ff_node_cleanup to handle
    per-node fast-frames state (we reuse 11n tx ampdu state)
o change ieee80211_encap calling convention to include an explicit vap
  so frames coming through a WDS vap are recognized w/o setting M_WDS

With these changes any device able to tx/rx 3Kbyte+ frames can use fast-frames.

29aca94080 Eliminate ic_myaddr so changing the mac address of a device works correctly:
o remove ic_myaddr from ieee80211com
o change ieee80211_ifattach to take the mac address of the physical device
  and use that to setup the lladdr.
o replace all references to ic_myaddr in drivers by IF_LLADDR
o related cleanups (e.g. kill dead code)

e66b0905fc o use the new association callback to notify the driver when joining a bss
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

38c208f876 Change the calling convention for ic_node_alloc to deal with
some longstanding issues:
o pass the vap since it's now the "coin of the realm" and required
  to do things like set initial tx parameters in private node
  state for use prior to association
o pass the mac address as cards that maintain outboard station
  tables require this to create an entry (e.g. in ibss mode)
o remove the node table reference, we only have one node table
  and it's unlikely this will change so this is not needed to
  find the com structure

9f2c7365ab We can not call iwn_start directly in the interrupt
context, where the iwn mutex is being held, and
iwn_start assumes that we do not have that mutex held.

Resolve this issue with what we do for other NICs by
splitting the iwn_start procedure into two parts,
iwn_start() do the locking, and iwn_start_locked()
assumes that the mutex is being held.  This resolves
panic when WITNESS is enabled.

c43feede8b Minor cleanup of vap create work:
o add IEEE80211_C_STA capability to indicate sta mode is supported
  (was previously assumed) and mark drivers as capable
o add ieee80211_opcap array to map an opmode to the equivalent capability bit
o move IEEE80211_C_OPMODE definition to where capabilities are defined so it's
  clear it should be kept in sync (on future additions)
o check device capabilities in clone create before trying to create a vap;
  this makes driver checks unneeded
o make error codes return on failed clone request unique
o temporarily add console printfs on clone request failures to aid in
  debugging; these will move under DIAGNOSTIC or similar before release

31a8c1edd8 Unify all the wifi *_ioctl routines
- Limit grabbing the lock to SIOCSIFFLAGS.
 - Move ieee80211_start_all() to SIOCSIFFLAGS.
 - Remove SIOCSIFMEDIA as it is not useful.
 - Limit ether_ioctl to only SIOCGIFADDR. SIOCSIFADDR and SIOCSIFMTU have no
   affect as there is no input/output path in the vap parent.  The vap code
   will handle the reinit of the mac address changes.
 - Split off ndis_ioctl_80211 as it was getting too different to wired devices.

This fixes a copyout while locked and a lock recursion.
