sam ac0fb656df Track v0.9.20.3 hal:
o no more ds_vdata in tx/rx descriptors
o split h/w tx/rx descriptor from s/w status
o as part of the descriptor split change the rate control module api
  so the ath_buf is passed in to the module so it can fetch both
  descriptor and status information as needed
o add some const poisoning

Also for sample rate control algorithm:

o split debug msgs (node, rate, any)
o uniformly bounds check rate indices (and in some cases correct checks)
o move array index ops to after bounds checking
o use final tsi from the status block instead of the h/w descriptor
o replace h/w descriptor struct's with proper mask+shift defs (this
  doesn't belong here; everything is known by the driver and should
  just be sent down so there's no h/w-specific knowledge)

/*
* Interface definitions for transmit rate control modules for the
* Atheros driver.
*
* A rate control module is responsible for choosing the transmit rate
* for each data frame. Management+control frames are always sent at
* a fixed rate.
*
* Only one module may be present at a time; the driver references
* rate control interfaces by symbol name. If multiple modules are
* to be supported we'll need to switch to a registration-based scheme
* as is currently done, for example, for authentication modules.
*
* An instance of the rate control module is attached to each device
* at attach time and detached when the device is destroyed. The module
* may associate data with each device and each node (station). Both
* sets of storage are opaque except for the size of the per-node storage
* which must be provided when the module is attached.
*
* The rate control module is notified for each state transition and
* station association/reassociation. Otherwise it is queried for a
* rate for each outgoing frame and provided status from each transmitted
* frame. Any ancillary processing is the responsibility of the module
* (e.g. if periodic processing is required then the module should setup
* it's own timer).
*
* In addition to the transmit rate for each frame the module must also
* indicate the number of attempts to make at the specified rate. If this
* number is != ATH_TXMAXTRY then an additional callback is made to setup
* additional transmit state. The rate control code is assumed to write
* this additional data directly to the transmit descriptor.
