HT and no-HT rt2x00 devices use a partly different TX descriptor.
Optimize the tx desciptor memory layout by putting the PLCP and HT
substructs into a union and introduce a new driver flag to decide which
TX desciptor format is used by the device.
This saves us the expensive PLCP calculation fOr HT devices and the HT
descriptor setup on no-HT devices.

Newer devices like rt2800* own a hardware sequence counter and thus
don't need to use a software sequence counter at all. Add a new driver
flag to shortcut the software sequence number generation on devices that
don't need it.
rt61pci, rt73usb and rt2800* seem to make use of a hw sequence counter
while rt2400pci and rt2500* need to do it in software.

This patch allows to dynamically remove beaconing interfaces without
shutting beaconing down on all interfaces.
The only place to start and stop beaconing are now the start- and
stop_queue callbacks. Hence, we can remove some register writes during
interface bring up (config_intf) and only write the correct sync mode
to the register there.
When multiple beaconing interfaces are present we should enable
beaconing as soon as mac80211 enables beaconing on at least one of
them. The beacon queue gets stopped when the last beaconing
interface was stopped by mac80211. Therefore, introduce another
interface counter to keep track ot the number of enabled beaconing
interfaces and start or stop the beacon queue accordingly.
To allow single interfaces to stop beaconing, add a new driver
callback clear_beacon to clear a single interface's beacon without
affecting the other interfaces. Don't overload the clear_entry callback
for clearing beacons as that would introduce additional overhead
(check for each TX queue) into the clear_entry callback which is used
on the drivers TX/RX hotpaths.
Furthermore, the write beacon callback doesn't need to enable beaconing
anymore but since beaconing should be disabled while a new beacon is
written or cleared we still disable beacon generation and enable it
afterwards again in the driver specific callbacks. However, beacon
related interrupts should not be disabled/enabled here, that's solely
done from the start- and stop queue callbacks. It would be nice to stop
the beacon queue just before the beacon update and enable it afterwards
in rt2x00queue itself instead of the current implementation that relies
on the driver doing the right thing. However, since start- and
stop_queue are mutex protected we cannot use them for atomic beacon
updates.

As part of the queue refactoring, we now introduce
3 queue commands: start, kick, stop.
- Start: will enable a queue, for TX this will
not mean anything, while for beacons and RX
this will update the registers to enable the queue.
- Kick: This will kick all pending frames to
the hardware. This is needed for the TX queue
to push all frames to the HW after the queue
has been started
- Stop: This will stop the queue in the hardware,
and cancel any pending work (So this doesn't
mean the queue is empty after a stop!).
Move all code from the drivers into the appropriate
functions, and link those calls to the old rt2x00lib
callback functions (we will fix this later when we
refactor the queue control inside rt2x00lib).

Commit 0204464329 "Check for specific changed
flags when updating the erp config" changed the way in which a new beacon
interval gets handled. However, due to a bug in rt2800usb and rt2800pci the
beacon interval was reset during each scan, thus causing problems in AdHoc
mode.
Fix this by not cleaning up the beacon interval when killing the beacon queue
but just prevent the device from sending out beacons.

At this moment we don't support dropping any frames during the

All rt2x00 devices used the same Tx and Rx ring size (24 entries) till
now. Newer devices (like rt2800) can however make use of a larger TX and
RX ring due to 11n capabilities (AMPDUs of size 64 for example).
Hence, bring rt2x00 in sync with the legacy drivers and use the same TX
and RX ring sizes. Also remove the global defines RX_ENTRIES, TX_ENTRIES,
BEACON_ENTRIES and ATIM_ENTRIES and use per driver values.
That is 24 entries for rt2400pci, 32 entries for rt2500pci, rt2500usb,

Since rt2x00 USB devices have no chance to know when a beacon was sent
out in AP mode currently all broad- and multicast traffic is buffered in

Unfortunately we have no chance in sending the traffic out after a
DTIM beacon due to hw limitations. Hence, instead of never sending the

During initialization each driver reads the default TX power
for each individual channel. However mac80211 only accepts the
maximum value (which is also handled as default value).
As a result, the TX power of the device was being limited to
the default value, which is often quite low compared to the
real maximum acceptable value.
This patch allows each driver to set the maximum value on a
per-channel basis which is forwarded to mac80211. The default
value will be preserved for now, in case we want to update
mac80211 to differentiate between the maximum and default txpower.
This fixes bug complaining about limited TX power values like:

write_tx_desc shouldn't pass a rt2x00dev and skb pointer,
instead it should use the same format as other TX frame
callback functions, which is passing the data_entry pointer
which contains all the information which is needed to work
on a TX frame.
Most callers of the kick_tx_queue and kill_tx_queue already
have the data_queue pointer, so rather then sending the QID
with the given function, when the driver requests a new
pointer to the data_queue, it is more efficient to just
send the data_queue pointer directly.

On our hardware (050d:7050 Belkin Components F5D7050 Wireless G Adapter),
setting any WEP key with non zero index, cause rx frames corruption.
Note: perhaps (I did not check) this can be fixed differently - by using
hw_key_idx the same as true MAC key index. But according to the comment in
rt2x00mac_set_key():
"the hardware requires keys to be assigned in correct order (When key 1
is provided but key 0 is not, then the key is not found by the hardware
during RX)"
this will be quite problematic. Since WEP should not be used, disabling
hardware crypto offload for it will not hurt much. Beside static
one key WEP will still be offloaded.

Use threaded interrupts for all rt2x00 PCI devices.
This has several generic advantages:
- Reduce the time we spend in hard irq context
- Use non-atmic mac80211 functions for rx/tx
Furthermore implementing broad- and multicast buffering will be
much easier in process context while maintaining low latency and
updating the beacon just before transmission (pre tbtt interrupt)
can also be done in process context.
