3d184db2f8 Further preparations for the RX EDMA support.
Break out the DMA descriptor setup/teardown code into a method.
The EDMA RX code doesn't allocate descriptors, just ath_buf entries.

f8cc9b09b0 Begin abstracting out the RX path in preparation for RX EDMA support.
The RX EDMA support requires a modified approach to the RX descriptor
handling.

Specifically:

* There's now two RX queues - high and low priority;
* The RX queues are implemented as FIFOs; they're now an array of pointers
  to buffers;
* .. and the RX buffer and descriptor are in the same "buffer", rather than
  being separate.

So to that end, this commit abstracts out most of the RX related functions
from the bulk of the driver.  Notably, the RX DMA/buffer allocation isn't
updated, primarily because I haven't yet fleshed out what it should look
like.

Whilst I'm here, create a set of matching but mostly unimplemented EDMA
stubs.

Tested:

  * AR9280, station mode

TODO:

  * Thorough AP and other mode testing for non-EDMA chips;
  * Figure out how to allocate RX buffers suitable for RX EDMA, including
    correctly setting the mbuf length to compensate for the RX descriptor
    and completion status area.

e60c4fc2c9 Migrate the bulk of the RX routines out from if_ath.c to if_ath_rx.[ch].
* migrate the rx processing out into if_ath_rx.c
* migrate the TSF functions into if_ath_tsf.h, as inlines

This is in prepration for supporting the EDMA RX routines, required to
support the AR93xx series NICs.

TODO:

* ath_start() shouldn't be private, but it's called as part of
  the RX path. I should likely migrate ath_rx_tasklet() back into
  if_ath.c and then return this to be 'static'.  The RX code really
  shouldn't need to see TX routines (and vice versa.)

* ath_beacon_* should be in if_ath_beacon.[ch].

* ath_tdma_* should be in if_ath_tdma.[ch] ...
