b43: fill PHY ctl word1 in TX header for N-PHY
This patch fixes tramissing on OFDM rates for PHYs 1 and 2. There is
still something wrong with PHYs 3+. Tests has shown decreasing of
performance on CCK rates by 1-2%, we have to live with that.
Additionaly this noticeably reduces amount of PHY errors. They were
mostly produced by auto-switching to higher rate for better
performanced, which resulted in no transmit at all and PHY errors.

b43: Rewrite TX bounce buffer handling
Do not mess with the original skb, but allocate an independent bouncebuffer.
This protects against bad interference with mac80211's assumptions about

mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API
So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how
convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for
everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now
taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control,
most drivers don't support that though.

mac80211: move TX info into skb->cb
This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit
information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra
memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit,
a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
is kept outside of the union.
A number of fixes were done by Ivo, as well as the rt2x00 part
of this patch.

b43: Add PIO support for PCMCIA devices
This adds PIO support back (D'oh!) for PCMCIA devices.
This is a complete rewrite of the old PIO code. It does actually work
and we get reasonable performance out of it on a modern machine.
On a PowerBook G4 I get a few MBit for TX and a few more for RX.
So it doesn't work as well as DMA (of course), but it's a _lot_ faster
than the old PIO code (only got a few kBit with that).
The limiting factor is the host CPU speed. So it will generate 100%
CPU usage when the network interface is heavily loaded. A voluntary preemption
point in the RX path makes sure Desktop Latency isn't hurt.
PIO is needed for 16bit PCMCIA devices, as we really don't want to poke with
the braindead DMA mechanisms on PCMCIA sockets. Additionally, not all
PCMCIA sockets do actually support DMA in 16bit mode (mine doesn't).

b43: Drop packets that we are not able to encrypt
We must not transmit packets we're not able to encrypt.
This fixes a bug where in a tiny timeframe after machine resume
packets can get sent unencrypted and might leak information.
This also fixes three small resource leakages I spotted while fixing
the security problem. Properly deallocate the DMA slots in any DMA
allocation error path.

b43: Add support for new firmware
This patch adds support for new firmware.
Old firmware is still supported until July 2008.
To get new firmware, go to
ftp://ftp.linksys.com/opensourcecode/wrt150nv11/1.51.3/
and download the tarball. We don't have a smaller tarball, yet.
That will be fixed later.
You can extract firmware out of the "wl_ap.o" file contained
in this tarball using latest fwcutter. You must pass the option
--unsupported to fwcutter.
Fwcutter-010 with official support for a new firmware image will
be released soon.

This patch fixes the parsing of the RX data header channel field.
The current code parses the header incorrectly and passes a wrong
channel number and frequency for each frame to mac80211.
The FIXMEs added by this patch don't matter for now as the code
where they live won't get executed anyway. They will be fixed later.
