5be83de54c cfg80211: convert bools into flags
We've accumulated a number of options for wiphys
which make more sense as flags as we keep adding
more. Convert the existing ones.

9bd568a50c b43: Enforce DMA descriptor memory constraints
Enforce all device constraints on the descriptor memory region.

There are several constraints on the descriptor memory, as documented
in the specification. The current code does not enforce them and/or
incorrectly enforces them.

Those constraints are:
- The address limitations on 30/32bit engines, that also apply to
  the skbs.
- The 4k alignment requirement on 30/32bit engines.
- The 8k alignment requirement on 64bit engines.

24b6b15f7d cfg80211: Allow reassociation in associated state
cfg80211 rejects all association requests when in associated state. This
prevents clean roaming within an ESS since one would first need to
disassociate before being able to request reassociation.

Accept the reassociation request and let the old association to be
dropped when the new one is completed. This fixes nl80211-based
roaming with the current snapshot version of wpa_supplicant (that has
code for requesting reassociation explicitly withthe previous BSSID
attribute).

af65cd96dd mac80211: make software rate control optional
Some devices implement the entire rate control in
firmware in some way, like wl1271 or like iwlwifi
which does some things in software but not a lot.
Therefore generic software rate control is rather
useless for them and just adds avoidable overhead
to the transmit path.

It's fairly simple to let drivers indicate that
they do not need rate control, but they need to
fulfil a number of conditions that we encode in
WARN_ONs.

15ff63653e mac80211: use fixed broadcast address
The netdev broadcast address cannot change from
all-ones so there's no need to use it; we can
instead hard-code it. Since we already have an
instance in tkip.c, which will be shared if it
is marked static const, doing this reduces text
size at no data/bss cost.

The real motivation for this is, of course, the
desire to get rid of almost all uses of netdevs
in mac80211 so that auditing their use becomes
easier.

3e5b1101f5 mac80211: reduce the amount of unnecessary traffic on cooked monitor interfaces
In order to handle association and authentication in AP mode,
hostapd needs access to the tx status info of its own frames
through a cooked monitor interface. Without this patch the
cooked monitor interfaces also passed on tx status information
for packets from other virtual interfaces. This creates a
significant performance issue on embedded system. Hostapd
tries to work around this by installing a Linux Socket Filter
that only captures the frames it's interested in, however
data duplication and socket filter matching still uses up
enough CPU cycles to be very noticeable on small systems.
This patch ensures that tx status information of non-injected
frames does not make it to cooked monitor interfaces.

6ab10ff873 iwlwifi: handle unicast PS buffering
Using the new mac80211 functionality, this makes
iwlwifi handle unicast PS buffering correctly.
The device works like this:

 * when a station goes to sleep, the microcode notices
   this and marks the station as asleep
 * when the station is marked asleep, the microcode
   refuses to transmit to the station and rejects all
   frames queued to it with the failure status code
   TX_STATUS_FAIL_DEST_PS (a previous patch handled
   this correctly)
 * when we need to send frames to the station _although_
   it is asleep, we need to tell the ucode how many,
   and this is asynchronous with sending so we cannot
   just send the frames, we need to wait for all other
   frames to be flushed, and then update the counter
   before sending out the poll response frames. This
   is handled partially in the driver and partially in
   mac80211.

In order to do all this correctly, we need to
 * keep track of how many frames are pending for each
   associated client station (avoid doing it for other
   stations to avoid the atomic ops)
 * tell mac80211 that we driver-block the PS status
   while there are still frames pending on the queues,
   and once they are all rejected (due to the dest sta
   being in PS) unblock mac80211

This field was marked as reserved before since we didn't
use it, but is present in all released firmwares afaict.
We're going to need it soon, so add it now.

c397bf15a6 iwlwifi: report PS filtered status
When a frame is sent to a sleeping station, the
microcode reports TX_STATUS_FAIL_DEST_PS as its
status -- we need to translate that to the flag
that mac80211 expects.
