Properly register our mac80211_hwsim_driver, attach it to the platform bus.
Bind newly created hwsim devices to that driver, so that our wlan devices get

and in fact during this frames might be transmitted on
other virtual interfaces. Calculate and pass a queue
bitmap to the driver so it knows which queues to flush.

Set the beacon timestamp once during "transmission" so the
monitor interface also gets a timestamped beacon.
Also use a common base between TX timestamp and RX
mactime. This eliminates "TX" path delay, which shows up
as a constant error in Toffset.
Get the global TSF once before iterating over all RX HWs,
so they all set a mactime with the same time base.

When TX aggregation is stopped, there are a few
different cases:
- connection with the peer was dropped
- session stop was requested locally
- session stop was requested by the peer
- connection was dropped while a session is stopping
The behaviour in these cases should be different, if
the connection is dropped then the driver should drop
all frames, otherwise the frames may continue to be
transmitted, aggregated in the case of a locally
requested session stop or unaggregated in the case of
the peer requesting session stop.
Split these different cases so that the driver can
act accordingly; however, treat local and remote stop
the same way and ask the driver to not send frames as
aggregated packets any more.
In the case of connection drop, the stop callback the
driver is otherwise supposed to call is no longer
required.

Convert mac80211 (and where necessary, some drivers a
little bit) to the new channel definition struct.
This will allow extending mac80211 for VHT, which is
currently restricted to channel contexts since there
are no drivers using that which makes it easier. As
I also don't care about VHT for drivers not using the
channel context API, I won't convert the previous API
to VHT support.

As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the
only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel
with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it.
This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations
right now.
Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or
not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code
by removing the ability to use different channel types.
Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if
we extend it again later (with the needed capability
flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.

During hardware restart, all interfaces are iterated even
though they haven't been re-added to the driver, document
this behaviour. The same also happens during resume, which
is even more confusing since all of the interfaces were
previously removed from the driver. Make this optional so
drivers relying on the current behaviour can still use it,
but to let drivers that don't want this behaviour disable
it.
Also convert all API users, keeping the old semantics
except in hwsim, where the new normal ones are desired.

To use mac80211_hwsim for testing channel contexts it
has to support them, and for that it has to support
hw scan and hw-remain-on-channel.
Since it's pure software, the off-channel activities
are really not off-channel but listening and sending
on a second channel. Also, the multi-channel isn't
really doing TDM, it's just on both channels at the
same time.
For testing purposes, you can specify the number of
concurrent channels with a module parameter, it is
set to one by default. When set to two or more, the
userspace API for wmediumd is disabled as it has no
provisions for multi-channel yet.
