The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
* ieee80211_queue_work()
* ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.
Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

This driver only uses the mac80211 workqueue and mac80211 requires us to
cancel all work at driver stop. Since we now have the cancels in the right
places at stop() we really don't need to flush the mac80211 workqueue so
remove it.

We need to process tx descriptors for all queues (currently main tx
queue and cabq) which may have triggered the TX completion interrupt.
Otherwise, the queues can get stuck after sending a few frames.

As shown in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/36497,
mac80211 has a bug that allows a call to the TX routine after the queues have
been stopped. This situation will only occur under extreme stress. Although
b43 does not crash when this condition occurs, it does generate a WARN_ON and
also logs a queue overrun message. This patch recognizes b43 is not at fault
and logs a message only when the most verbose debugging mode is enabled. In
the unlikely event that the queue is not stopped when the DMA queue becomes
full, then a warning is issued.
During testing of this patch with one output stream running repeated tcpperf
writes and a second running a flood ping, this routine was entered with
the DMA ring stopped about once per hour. The condition where the DMA queue is
full but the ring has not been stopped has never been seen by me.

Previously, we would store the operating mode at interface up time,
but only update the PCU registers when the next reset happened.
The result is that if beacon configuration (ops->bss_info_changed)
happens before ops->config, we will program the wrong things into
the timer registers. Consequently, beacons won't work in AP mode
until after a reset (channel change, scan etc.).
This is fragile anyway so just program the opmode as soon as
mac80211 gives it to us.

Now the lowest rate in 11na ht40 mode is 13.5Mbps this shortens the
range when compared to 11na ht20 mode where the lowest rate is 6.5Mbps.
To improve the range, make 6.5Mbps as the lowest rate in 11na ht40 mode,
this improves the range by approximately 2dB. 11ng ht40 does not have
this issue as it also has basic rates (1, 2, 5.5 and 11).

When downing interfaces, it's a good idea to tell the driver to
stop sending beacons; that way the driver doesn't need special
code in ops->remove_interface() when it should already handle the
case in bss_info_changed().
This fixes a potential crash with at least ath5k since the vif
pointer will be nullified while beacon interrupts are still active.

When only rt2400pci or rt2500pci is compiled without any of the other
rt2x00 modules, then CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_CRYPTO will not be enabled.
However rt2x00mac_set_tim() implemented within #ifdef CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_CRYPTO
statements while the declaration is placed outside the definition. This results in linking

rt2x00_set_tim() has nothing to do with crypto, and thus should be moved outside

ath9k uses the mac80211 workqueue for 4 different types of work:
* Led blink work
* TX hang monitoring work
* internal wiphy schedular work
* channel change work done for internal wiphy schedular
Since the internal wiphy schedular can end up kicking off some
channel channel change work we should first cancel the wiphy
schedular work and then the channel change work.
The TX hang work can be cancelled second since we're going down
anyway.

Current neigh_periodic_timer() function is fired by timer IRQ, and
scans one hash bucket each round (very litle work in fact)
As we are supposed to scan whole hash table in 15 seconds, this means
neigh_periodic_timer() can be fired very often. (depending on the number
of concurrent hash entries we stored in this table)
Converting this to a workqueue permits scanning whole table, minimizing
icache pollution, and firing this work every 15 seconds, independantly
of hash table size.
This 15 seconds delay is not a hard number, as work is a deferrable one.
