81cb7623ad mac80211: Extend the rate control API with an update callback
The AP can switch dynamically between 20/40 Mhz channel width,
in which case we switch the local operating channel, but the
rate control algorithm is not notified. This patch adds a new callback
to indicate such changes to the RC algorithm.

Currently, HT channel width change is notified, but this callback
can be used to indicate any new requirements that might come up later on.

469002983f mac80211: split IBSS/managed code
This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode.
The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have
the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly
a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand.

This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into
sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that
way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only
applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other
functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also
rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

8abd3f9bc4 mac80211: restrict aggregation to supported interface modes
We can only support aggregation on AP/STA right now. HT isn't defined
for IBSS, WDS or MESH. In the WDS/MESH cases it's not clear what to
put into the IBSS field, and we don't handle that in the code at all.
Also fix the code to handle VLAN correctly.

4797938c5d mac80211: clean up channel type config
The channel_type really doesn't need to be the only member in
a new structure, so remove the struct. Additionally, remove
the _CONF_CHANGE_HT flag and use _CONF_CHANGE_CHANNEL when the
channel type changes, since that's enough of a change to require
reprogramming the hardware anyway.

094d05dc32 mac80211: Fix HT channel selection
HT management is done differently for AP and STA modes, unify
to just the ->config() callback since HT is fundamentally a
PHY property and cannot be per-BSS.

Rename enum nl80211_sec_chan_offset as nl80211_channel_type to denote
the channel type ( NO_HT, HT20, HT40+, HT40- ).

8b30b1fe36 mac80211: Re-enable aggregation
Wireless HW without any dedicated queues for aggregation
do not need the ampdu_queues mechanism present right now
in mac80211. Since mac80211 is still incomplete wrt TX MQ
changes, do not allow aggregation sessions for drivers that
set ampdu_queues.

This is only an interim hack until Intel fixes the requeue issue.

ae5eb02641 mac80211: rewrite HT handling
The HT handling has the following deficiencies, which I've
(partially) fixed:
 * it always uses the AP info even if there is no AP,
   hence has no chance of working as an AP
 * it pretends to be HW config, but really is per-BSS
 * channel sanity checking is left to the drivers
 * it generally lets the driver control too much

HT enabling is still wrong with this patch if you have more than
one virtual STA mode interface, but that never happens currently.
Once WDS, IBSS or AP/VLAN gets HT capabilities, it will also be
wrong, see the comment in ieee80211_enable_ht().

Additionally, this fixes a number of bugs:
 * mac80211: ieee80211_set_disassoc doesn't notify the driver any
             more since the refactoring
 * iwl-agn-rs: always uses the HT capabilities from the wrong stuff
               mac80211 gives it rather than the actual peer STA
 * ath9k: a number of bugs resulting from the broken HT API

I'm not entirely happy with putting the HT capabilities into
struct ieee80211_sta as restricted to our own HT TX capabilities,
but I see no cleaner solution for now.

             to an information element _contents_ rather than the
             whole element, add size checking (another out-of-bounds

 * mac80211: remove some unused return values in favour of BUG_ON
             checking
 * a few minor other things

de1ede7ac3 mac80211: make BA session handling independent of STA mode
The aggregation handling isn't dependent on anything related to our
STA-mode implementation, and doesn't need to depend on it for frame
processing. This patch moves the relevant code to ht.c and adds a
hook in rx.c. For now, the relevant action frames are only processed
in STA/IBSS modes, but that's now something we can easily change.
