When toggle_irq is called for PCI devices to disable device interrupts
it used tasklet_disable to wait for a possibly running tasklet to finish.
However, on SMP systems the tasklet might still be scheduled on another CPU.
Instead, use tasklet_kill to ensure that all scheduled tasklets are finished
before returning from toggle_irq.
Furthermore, it was possible that a tasklet reenabled its interrupt even
though interrupts have been disabled already. Fix this by checking the
DEVICE_STATE_ENABLED_RADIO flag before reenabling single interrupts
during tasklet processing.
While at it also enable/kill the TBTT and PRETBTT tasklets in the
toggle_irq callback and only use tasklet_kill in stop_queue to wait
for a currently scheduled beacon update before returning.

Implementing this callback function will cause mac80211 refrain from
going to powersave state when there are still untransmitted TX frames
in the queues.
This would exactly mimic the behaviour of the legacy vendor driver which
also doesn't go in powersave mode if there are still TX frames that are not
transmitted.
This should make powersaving and rt2x00 a better couple.

Implement the get_antenna and set_antenna callback functions, which will
allow clients to control the antenna for all non-11n hardware (Antenna handling
in rt2800 is still a bit magical, so we can't use the set_antenna for those drivers
yet).
To best support the set_antenna callback some modifications are needed in the
diversity handling. We should never look at the default antenna settings to determine
if software diversity is enabled. Instead we should set the diversity flag when
possible, which will allow the link_tuner to automatically pick up the tuning.

Both USB and PCI drivers allow a system administrator to dynamically add
USB/PCI IDs to the device table that a driver supports via the
/sys/bus/{usb,pci,pci_express}/drivers/<driver-name>/new_id files.
However, for the rt2x00 drivers using this method currently crashes the
system with a NULL pointer failure.
This is due to the set-up of rt2x00 where the probe functions require a
rt2x00_ops structure in the driver_info field of the probed device. As
this field is empty for the dynamically added devices this fails for
these devices.
Fix this by introducing driver-specific probe wrappers that do nothing
but calling the bus-specific probe functions with the rt2x00_ops structure
as an argument, rather than depending on the driver_info field.

When powersaving is enabled, assocaition times are very high
(for WPA2 networks, the time can easily be around the 3 seconds).
This is caused, because the flushing of the queues takes
too much time. Without the flushing callback mac80211 assumes
a timeout of 100ms while scanning. Limit all flush waiting
loops to the same maximum.
We can apply this maximum by passing the drop status to the
driver, which makes sure the driver performs extra actions
during the waiting for the queue to become empty.
After these changes, association times fall within the
healthy range of ~0.6 seconds with powersaving enabled.
The difference between association time between powersaving
enabled and disabled is now only ~0.1 second (which can also
be due to the measuring method).

The number of flags defined for the rt2x00dev->flags field,
has been growing over the years. Currently we are approaching
the maximum number of bits which are available in the field.
A secondary problem, is that one part of the field are initialized only
during boot, because the driver requirements are initialized or device
requirements are loaded from the EEPROM. In both cases, the flags are
fixed and will not change during device operation. The other flags are
the device state, and will change frequently. So far this resulted in the fact
that for some flags, the atomic bit accessors are used, while for the others
the non-atomic variants are used.
By splitting the flags up into a "flags" and "cap_flags" we can put all flags
which are fixed inside "cap_flags". This field can then be read non-atomically.
In the "flags" field we keep the device state, which is going to be read atomically.
This adds more room for more flags in the future, and sanitizes the field access methods.

Fix interrupt processing on slow machines by using individual tasklets
for each different device interrupt. This ensures that while a RX or TX
status tasklet is scheduled only the according device interrupt is
masked and other interrupts such as TBTT can still be processed.
Also, this allows us to use tasklet_hi_schedule for TBTT processing
which is required to not send out beacons with a wrong DTIM count (due
to delayed periodic beacon updates). Furthermore, this improves the
latency between the TBTT and sending out buffered multi- and broadcast
traffic.
As a nice bonus, the interrupt handling overhead should be much lower.

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.

- Stop: This will stop the queue in the hardware,

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
