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.
