This patch is a back-port from aggregation testing code.
In the past, we didn't limit the amount of active tx urbs.
However, ar9170 only has a limited buffer reserved for
pending data frames.
This wasn't much of a problem with the slower 802.11b/g.
We simply stopped the full queue and moved on to something different
in the mean time. But - as you guessed it - this simple approach
stands in way for a decent aggregation implementation.

"[PATCH 3/4 v2] ar9170: fix LED power state handling" revealed
a bug which can cause a ugly crash.
The delayed worker is canceled before the LED class functions are
unregistered... So, if something manages to update the LEDs
while unregister routine is running the timer could fire _after_ the
module has been unloaded.

This patch contains a few more mostly random fixes for the USB front-end.
1. handle irq command response, instead of printing it to the console.
2. remove fixed FIXME.
(real fix: "ar9170usb: reset device on resume". )
3. some more one-liner.
- get rid of a useless "return;"
- add a few branch prediction hints in hot-paths
etc.

This patch takes care of Johannes' deadlock report by moving the
mutex_lock right after cancel_work_sync in ar9170_op_stop.
Besides, the janitor does not need to hold the mutex anymore,
so this extra lines can be removed as well.

The patch moves some utility functions from mac80211 to cfg80211.
Because these functions are doing generic 802.11 operations so they
are not mac80211 specific. The moving allows some fullmac drivers
to be also benefit from these utility functions.

Otus uses slightly different set of "Minimum MPDU Start Spacing" values
than the 802.11n D2.0 specifies. (the whole table is shifted by one and
therefore the 16us spacing is not officially available!)
And while we're at it, we also initialize our MAC's density register.
So, this annoying _feature_ will not break TX A-MPDU later.

The config_interface method is a little strange, it contains the
BSSID and beacon updates, while bss_info_changed contains most
other BSS information for each interface. This patch removes
config_interface and rolls all the information it previously
passed to drivers into bss_info_changed.

We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
an AP.
This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.
NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due
to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all
drivers, some are updated in this patch.

This patch adds support for configuring HT40 channels
and receiving HT40 to ar9170. Receiving aggregation
doesn't seem to work right now, so it's not enabled.
Same goes for TX aggregation, but that probably needs
even more work.
With this, I can receive roughly 33 Mbits/sec.
The HT capabilities are a little odd, I tried following
otus here -- in particular having SGI_40 but not SGI_20
is a little weird but afaict that's what otus does.

Trying to separate header files into net/wireless.h and
net/cfg80211.h has been a source of confusion. Remove
net/wireless.h (because there also is the linux/wireless.h)
and subsume everything into net/cfg80211.h -- except the
definitions for regulatory structures which get moved to
a new header net/regulatory.h.
The "new" net/cfg80211.h is now divided into sections.
There are no real changes in this patch but code shuffling
and some very minor documentation fixes.
I have also, to make things reflect reality, put in a
copyright line for Luis to net/regulatory.h since that
is probably exclusively written by him but was formerly
in a file that only had my copyright line.

When the EEPROM is not in good condition we cannot continue so
we currently bail out but only ath5k is bailing out properly.
Both ath9k and ar9170 were proceeding and if a user were to run
into this they'd see an obscure panic. Lets propagate the error
as intended and make sure we inform the user by lifting the
error message from debug to a kernel error.
