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.

used for s/w retransmit schemes that want to access this information
w/o the overhead of decoding the raw frame. Note this also allows
drivers to record this information w/o writing the frame when the seq#
is obtained through an out-of-band mechanism (e.g. when a h/w assigned
seq# is reported in a descriptor on tx done notification).

identify a station operating in turbo-boost mode because it has a
pure ofdm rate set; add an explicit check for the channel type
instead of depending on IEEE80211_NODE_ERP being set
to be encapsulated before dispatching to the driver
o eliminate M_WDS now that we call ieee80211_encap directly and can supply
the wds vap to indicate a 4-address frame should be created
o call ieee80211_encap in ieee80211_start so frames passed down to drivers
are already encapsulated
o remove ieee80211_encap calls in drivers
o fixup wi so it recreates the 802.3 head it requires from the 802.11
header contents
o move fast-frame aggregation from ath to net80211 (conditional on
IEEE80211_SUPPORT_SUPERG):
- aggregation is now done in ieee80211_start; it is enabled when the
packets/sec exceeds ieee80211_ffppsmin (net.wlan.ffppsmin) and frames
are held on a staging queue according to ieee80211_ffagemax
(net.wlan.ffagemax) to wait for a frame to combine with
- drivers must call back to age/flush the staging queue (ath does this
on tx done, at swba, and on rx according to the state of the tx queues
and/or the contents of the staging queue)
- remove fast-frame-related data structures from ath
- add ieee80211_ff_node_init and ieee80211_ff_node_cleanup to handle
per-node fast-frames state (we reuse 11n tx ampdu state)
o change ieee80211_encap calling convention to include an explicit vap
so frames coming through a WDS vap are recognized w/o setting M_WDS
With these changes any device able to tx/rx 3Kbyte+ frames can use fast-frames.

o remove ic_myaddr from ieee80211com
o change ieee80211_ifattach to take the mac address of the physical device
and use that to setup the lladdr.
o replace all references to ic_myaddr in drivers by IF_LLADDR
o related cleanups (e.g. kill dead code)

are consistent (and easy to change)
o add protocol version check when looking for a scan candidate
o improve scan debug output format
o rewrite beacon update handling to calculate a bitmask of changed values
and pass that down through the driver callback so drivers can optimize work
o do slot bounds check before use when parsing received beacons
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
future. On ARM we don't do add anything, because it already has
memmove().

Remove the hidden include of opt_route.h and net/route.h from net/vnet.h.
We need to make sure that both opt_route.h and net/route.h are included
before net/vnet.h because of the way MRT figures out the number of FIBs
from the kernel option. If we do not, we end up with the default number
of 1 when including net/vnet.h and array sizes are wrong.
This does not change the list of files which depend on opt_route.h
but we can identify them now more easily.

channels.
o add IEEE80211_MODE_HALF and IEEE80211_MODE_QUARTER; note these are
band-agnostic (may need revisiting)
o setup all default rates in ic_sup_rates instead of doing it only
for active modes; we need these to calculate the default tx parameters
which are not recalculated after a regulatory update (can't just
recalculate after installing a new channel list because we might
clobber user settings)
o remove special case code in ieee80211_get_suprates; this is now
a candidate for an inline or removal
o add various entries for new modes (roaming+tx params, wme, rate
mapping, scan set setup, country ie construction, tdma, basic rates)
Note these modes are intentionally not visible through if_media.

o fix channel power printing (they are signed values)
o add show statab to dump a node table and automatically dump the sta

turbo option in addition to the mode bits; otherwise if the current
channel is a turbo mode channel we'll form an invalid media setting
and the ifmedia_set operation in vap_attach will panic.
While here use C99-style initialization for an array indexed by mode;
this makes it consistent w/ other usage and avoids breakage if we
should ever change the set of modes.

o max antenna gain
o driver private opaque data
Note this grows the size of a channel to 16 bytes; which makes the
default channel table 4Kbytes (up from 3Kbytes).
o change ioctl's that pass channel lists in/out to handle variable-size
arrays instead of a fixed (compile-time) value; we do this in a way
that maintains binary compatibility
o change ifconfig so all channel list data structures are now allocated
to hold MAXCHAN entries (1536); this, for example, allows the kernel
to return > IEEE80211_CHAN_MAX entries for calls like IEEE80211_IOC_DEVCAPS
