and the Atheros reference code.
The radar detection code needs to know what the current DFS domain is.
Since net80211 doesn't currently know this information, it's extracted
from the HAL regulatory domain information.
The specifics:
* add a new ath_dfs API hook, ath_dfs_init_radar_filters(), which
updates the radar filters whenever the regulatory domain changes.
* add HAL_DFS_DOMAIN which describes the currently configured DFS domain .
* add a new HAL internal variable which tracks the currently configured
HAL DFS domain.
* add a new HAL capability, HAL_CAP_DFS_DMN, which returns the currently
configured HAL DFS domain setting.
* update the HAL DFS domain setting whenever the channel setting is
updated.
Since this isn't currently used by any radar code, these should all
be no-ops for existing users.

module.
* If sc->sc_dodfs is set to 1 by the ath_dfs_radar_enable(),
set the relevant rx filter bit to begin receiving radar PHY
errors. The HAL code already knows how to set the relevant
error mask register to enable radar events.
* Add a missing call to ath_dfs_radar_enable() after ath_hal_reset()
* change ath_dfs_process_phyerr() to take a const char *buf for now,
rather than a descriptor. This way it can get access to the packet
buffer contents.
This is in no way a complete DFS/radar detection implementation!
It merely creates an abstracted interface which allows for future
development of the DFS radar detection code.
Note: Net80211 already handles the bulk of the DFS machinery,
all we need to do here is figure out that a radar event has occured
and inform it as such. It then drives the DFS state engine for us.
The "null" DFS radar detection module is included by default;
it doesn't require a device line.
This commit:
* Adds a simple abstracted layer for radar detection state -
sys/dev/ath/ath_dfs/;
* Implements a null DFS module which doesn't do anything;
(ie, implements the exact behaviour at the moment);
* Adds hooks to the ath driver to process received radar events
and gives the DFS module a chance to determine whether
a radar has been detected.
