When copying big structures, LLVM generates calls to memmove(), because
it may not be able to figure out whether structures overlap. This caused
linker errors to occur. memmove() is now implemented using bcopy().
Ideally it would be the other way around, but that can be solved in the

the caller will re-attach the cipher module
NB: api change permits drivers more control over fallback to s/w

For receive:
o explicitly tag rx frames w/ M_AMPDU instead of passing frames through
the reorder processing according to the node having HT and the frame

o tag aggregation candidates with M_AMPDU_MPDU

m_pkthdr.ether_vlan. The presence of the M_VLANTAG flag on the mbuf
signifies the presence and validity of its content.
Drivers that support hardware VLAN tag stripping fill in the received
VLAN tag (containing both vlan and priority information) into the
ether_vtag mbuf packet header field:
m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag = vlan_id; /* ntohs()? */
m->m_flags |= M_VLANTAG;
to mark the packet m with the specified VLAN tag.
On output the driver should check the mbuf for the M_VLANTAG flag to
see if a VLAN tag is present and valid:
if (m->m_flags & M_VLANTAG) {
... = m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag; /* htons()? */
... pass tag to hardware ...
}
VLAN tags are stored in host byte order. Byte swapping may be necessary.
(Note: This driver conversion was mechanic and did not add or remove any
byte swapping in the drivers.)
Remove zone_mtag_vlan UMA zone and MTAG_VLAN definition. No more tag
memory allocation have to be done.

o change rssi to be signed in ieee80211_nodestats
o add noise floor in ieee80211_nodestats (use an implicit hole to
preserve layout); return it as zero until we can update the api's
so the driver can provide noise floor data
o add a bandaid so IEEE80211_IOC_STA_STATS works for sta mode; when
all nodes are in the station table this will no longer be needed
o fix braino in IEEE80211_IOC_STA_INFO implementation; was supposed
to take a mac address and return info for that sta or all stations
if ff:ff:ff:ff:ff was supplied--but somehow this didn't get implemented;
implement the intended semantics and leave a compat shim at the old
ioctl number for the previous api

touch data outside the packet (previously we might touch 1 byte); it
also has the happy side effect of working around broken orinoco/agere
firmware that sends malformed association response frames
