patch the RX/TX performance becomes about 17~18 Mbps comparing with
the previous whose values were RX 7~8Mbps and TX 13~14Mbps.
- improve AL2230 RF handling in zd1211b
- support AL2230S RF that PV2000 is renamed to AL2230S
- use register ZYD_CR244, ZYD_CR243, ZYD_CR242 when the driver writes
values on RF. This routine is more faster than the original one
- use private TX lock to avoid LOR at zyd_raw_xmit()
- increase TX slots from 1 to 5
- needs to set the channel at IEEE80211_S_AUTH not IEEE80211_S_RUN
- detailed error handling. In previous the next command was sent to the
device even if there was errors
- setting ZYD_MAC_RX_THRESHOLD value should be different between 1211
and 1211b
- only try to stop the device at zyd_init_locked() if the device is
UPed
- do not use MTX_RECURSE
- do not try to grap Giant lock when the channel is changing
- move the device initialization routines from zyd_attach to zyd_init to
give a device full-reset chance to the driver.
- code cleanup at zyd_raw_xmit()
- simplify zyd_attach() routines
- resort functions and clean up variables
- DPRINTF style change.
- style(9)

detaching that when the USB is pulled out forcibly during the driver is
running background scan, a page fault can be occurred even if we called
usb_rem_task() when detaching. It looks like a kind of races.
Note this includes changes to all drivers and moves some device firmware
loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral). Also there
no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now
bundled into the wlan module.

properly due to the shortage of the RX buffer size. In a case of zyd
devices, up to 3 frames can be combined in an USB transaction. So, RX
buffer should be at least ((MCLBYTES + extra structs) * 3)
