rt2x00: Add TX/RX frame dumping facility

This adds TX/RX frame dumping capabilities through debugfs.
The intention is that with this approach debugging of rt2x00 is
simplified since _all_ frames going in and out of the device
are send to debugfs as well along with additional information
like the hardware descriptor.

Based on the patch by Mattias Nissler.
Mattias also has some tools that will make the dumped frames
available to wireshark: http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~nissler/rt2x00/

+ * DOC: Introduction
+ *
+ * This header is intended to be exported to userspace,
+ * to make the structures and enumerations available to userspace
+ * applications. This means that all data types should be exportable.
+ *
+ * When rt2x00 is compiled with debugfs support enabled,
+ * it is possible to capture all data coming in and out of the device
+ * by reading the frame dump file. This file can have only a single reader.
+ * The following frames will be reported:
+ *   - All incoming frames (rx)
+ *   - All outgoing frames (tx, including beacon and atim)
+ *   - All completed frames (txdone including atim)
+ *
+ * The data is send to the file using the following format:
+ *
+ *   [rt2x00dump header][hardware descriptor][ieee802.11 frame]
+ *
+ * rt2x00dump header: The description of the dumped frame, as well as
+ *	additional information usefull for debugging. See &rt2x00dump_hdr.
+ * hardware descriptor: Descriptor that was used to receive or transmit
+ *	the frame.
+ * ieee802.11 frame: The actual frame that was received or transmitted.

+ * struct rt2x00dump_hdr - Dump frame header
+ *
+ * Each frame dumped to the debugfs file starts with this header
+ * attached. This header contains the description of the actual
+ * frame which was dumped.
+ *
+ * New fields inside the structure must be appended to the end of
+ * the structure. This way userspace tools compiled for earlier
+ * header versions can still correctly handle the frame dump
+ * (although they will not handle all data passed to them in the dump).
+ *
+ * @version: Header version should always be set to %DUMP_HEADER_VERSION.
+ *	This field must be checked by userspace to determine if it can
+ *	handle this frame.
+ * @header_length: The length of the &rt2x00dump_hdr structure. This is
+ *	used for compatibility reasons so userspace can easily determine
+ *	the location of the next field in the dump.
+ * @desc_length: The length of the device descriptor.
+ * @data_length: The length of the frame data (including the ieee802.11 header.
+ * @chip_rt: RT chipset
+ * @chip_rf: RF chipset
+ * @chip_rev: Chipset revision
+ * @type: The frame type (&rt2x00_dump_type)
+ * @ring_index: The index number of the data ring.
+ * @entry_index: The index number of the entry inside the data ring.
+ * @timestamp_sec: Timestamp - seconds
+ * @timestamp_usec: Timestamp - microseconds
