This file implements the on-demand Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol, at this moment
using hop-count as the metric. When no mesh path exists for a given destination
or the mesh path is not active, frames addressed to that destination will be
queued and a Path Request frame will be sent. Queued frames will be sent when
the path is resolved (usually after reception of a Path Response) or discarded
if discovery times out. Path Requests will also be sent to refresh paths that
are being used and are close to expiring.
Path Errors are sent when a path discovery process triggered by the attempt to
forward a frame originated in a different mesh point times out. Path Errors are
also sent when a peer link is determined to be unreachable because of high error
rates.
Multiple destination support in Path Requests and Path Errors and precursors
have not been implemented yet.

The mesh path table associates destinations with the next hop to reach them. The
table is a hash of linked lists protected by rcu mechanisms. Every mesh path
contains a lock to protect the mesh path state.
Each outgoing mesh frame requires a look up into this table. Therefore, the
table it has been designed so it is not necessary to hold any lock to find the
appropriate next hop.
If the path is determined to be active within a rcu context we can safely
dereference mpath->next_hop->addr, since it holds a reference to the sta
next_hop. After a mesh path has been set active for the first time it next_hop
must always point to a valid sta. If this is not possible the mpath must be
deleted or replaced in a RCU safe fashion.

The two important features coded in mesh.c are:
Recently Multicast Cache: in on-demand HWMP, multicast traffic is retransmitted
by every receiving node. Even though a mesh TTL counter avoids infinite loops,
it is also necessary to avoid traffic explosion by keeping a cache of multicast
mesh frame that have been received recently. With this feature, maximum number
of retransmissions of a multicast frame for the case of N nodes within the range
of each other would be N. Without it, the maximum number of retransmissions
would be in the order of N^(MESH_TTL - 1).

Even though I thought about it a lot and had also tested it, some

it.
This patch fixes that using the list as an indication whether or
not the key is on it (an empty list means it's not on any list.)
Also, this patch fixes hw accel enabling, the check for not doing
hw accel when the interface is down was lost and is restored by
this.

enable IBSS cell merging. if an IBSS beacon with the same channel, same ESSID
and a TSF higher than the local TSF (mactime) is received, we have to join its
BSSID. while this might not be immediately apparent from reading the 802.11
standard it is compliant and necessary to make IBSS mode functional in many
cases. most drivers have a similar behaviour.
* move the relevant code section (previously only containing debug code) down
to the end of the function, so we can reuse the bss structure.
* we have to compare the mactime (TSF at the time of packet receive) rather
than the current TSF. since mactime is defined as the time the first data
symbol arrived we add the time until byte 24 where the timestamp resides, since
this is how the beacon timestamp is defined. as some some drivers are not able
to give a reliable mactime we fall back to use the current TSF, which will be
enough to catch most (but not all) cases where an IBSS merge is necessary.
* in IBSS mode we want to allow beacons to override probe response info so we
can correctly do merges.
* we don't only configure beacons based on scan results, so change that
message.
* to enable this we have to let all beacons thru in IBSS mode, even if they
have a different BSSID.

This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.
Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.
Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.
I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.
