When a reset or a channel-change happens, for managed mode,
the HW beacon timers have to be programmed after the TSF has
been synchronized. This is handled via the sync flags.

Jake reported that since commit 1672c0e319
"mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status", he is unable to
connect to his AP, which is configured to use passive channel.
After switch to passive channel 4965 firmware drops any TX packet until
it receives beacon. Before commit 1672c0e3 we waited on channel and
retransmit packet after 200ms, that makes we receive beacon on the
meantime and association process succeed. New mac80211 behaviour cause
that any ASSOC frame fail immediately on iwl4965 and we can not
associate.
This patch restore old mac80211 behaviour for iwl4965, by removing
IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_TX_ACK_STATUS feature. This feature will be
added again to iwl4965 driver, when different, more complex
workaround for this firmware issue, will be added to the driver.

Add handling of rx descriptor underflow. This fixes a fault that could
happen on slow machines, where data is received faster than the CPU can
handle. In such a case the device will use up all rx descriptors and
refuse to send any more data before confirming that it is ok. This
patch enables necessary interrupt to discover such a situation and will
handle them by dropping everything in the ring buffer.

We use ATH_STAT_STARTED flag to disallow to perform
ath5k_tx_complete_poll_work() code, hence reschedule
ah->tx_complete_work, when we stop device. This flag was defined in
ath5k code, but it was not used.
I didn't get feedback if the fix works, so patch is compile only tested.

If no keycache slots are available, ath_key_config can return -ENOSPC.
If the key index is not checked for errors, it can lead to logspam that
looks like this: "ath: wiphy0: keyreset: keycache entry 228 out of range"
This can cause follow-up errors if the invalid keycache index gets
used for tx.

Rotate bss prio list, so the bss next to the one served, will come first
in the list of bss' with equal priority. This way we pick bss nodes in a
round robin fashion. Using list rotation instead of a cur ptr simplifies
iteration to calling list_for_each_entry. List rotation is done via
list_move, where the head itself is temporarily removed and then
re-inserted after the bss just served.

The RX fifo can be accessed from the common tasklet or it can
be reaped/cleaned when RX is stopped, which is done when doing
a reset or channel change - this happens in process context.
Since it is ensured that there are no pending tasklets when
stopping RX and cleaning the FIFO, there is no need to use
SKB queue functions which take internal locks.

After comparing writes to registers at 0x000, 0x400 and 0x800 it seems
