to the runtime firmware the firmware is told to do the DC calibration
itself.

the device:
- unobscure some of the code by moving it into its own functions
- get rid of some magic numbers
- create similar structure as the reference driver has, this should
make further syncs easier
* Enable DC calibration and crystal calibration on Centrino Advanced-N
6250 parts.
* Workaround for a HW bug (does not affect 4965AGN) that may sporadically
affect latency under some rare circumstances. From a similar commit to
iwlwifi.
* Update sensitivity settings for 5000 series to workaround a performance
bug in the DSP (1000 is not affected so we keep the old values for 5000).
* Update sensitivity settings for 6000 series.
* Set differential gains on 6250 too (but use a 1.0 factor, not 1.5).
* Init OFDM sensitivity with min value (which depends on the chip)
instead of hardcoding it to 90.
* Read calibration version from ROM and set IWN_GP_DRIVER_CALIB_VER6
bit on 6x50 if version >= 6.

This framework allows drivers to abstract the rate control algorithm and
just feed the framework with the usable parameters. The rate control
framework will now deal with passing the parameters to the selected
algorithm. Right now we have AMRR (the default) and RSSADAPT but there's
no way to select one with ifconfig, yet.
The objective is to have more rate control algorithms in the net80211
stack so all drivers[0] can use it. Ideally, we'll have the well-known
sample rate control algorithm in the net80211 at some point so all
drivers can use it (not just ath).
[0] all drivers that do rate control in software, that is.

Pass the channel argument as a real argument and not through
RXON. The RXON version seems to have problem with both the older
228.57.2.23 firmware and the latest 228.61.2.24 version resulting
in device initialization errors like:
wpa_supplicant[2928]: Failed to initiate AP scan.

By passing the current channel to hal->set_txpower() the firmware
error is fixed, at least for the 4965 chipset of my Thinkpad and
the ones tested by Bernhard.

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)

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.
