As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly,
convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long
bitmaps.
This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to
test the bits, along with new debugfs code.
The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the
drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the
fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted,
frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with
the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the
monitor mode support should be used instead.
Removing it removes a lot of corner cases.

====================
Lots of updates for net-next; along with the usual flurry
of small fixes, cleanups and internal features we have:
* VHT support for TDLS and IBSS (conditional on drivers though)
* first TX performance improvements (the biggest will come later)
* many suspend/resume (race) fixes
* name_assign_type support from Tom Gundersen

The cw1200 driver implements suspend and resume callbacks and assigns them
to the suspend and resume fields of the device_driver struct. These
callbacks are never actually called by anything though.
Modify the driver to properly use dev_pm_ops so that the suspend function
is actually executed upon suspend and drop the empty resume function.

802.11ad adds new a network type (PBSS) and changes the capability
field interpretation for the DMG (60G) band.
The same 2 bits that were interpreted as "ESS" and "IBSS" before are
re-used as a 2-bit field with 3 valid values (and 1 reserved). Valid
values are: "IBSS", "PBSS" (new) and "AP".
In order to get the BSS struct for the new PBSS networks, change the
cfg80211_get_bss() function to take a new enum ieee80211_bss_type
argument with the valid network types, as "capa_mask" and "capa_val"
no longer work correctly (the search must be band-aware now.)
The remaining bits in "capa_mask" and "capa_val" are used only for
privacy matching so replace those two with a privacy enum as well.

When hw acceleration is enabled, the GENERATE_IV or PUT_IV_SPACE flags
only require headroom space. Therefore, the tailroom-needed counter can
safely be decremented for most drivers.
The older incarnation of this patch (ca34e3b5) assumed that the above
holds true for all drivers. As reported by Christopher Chavez and
researched by Christian Lamparter and Larry Finger, this isn't a valid
assumption for p54 and cw1200.
Drivers that still require tailroom for ICV/MIC even when HW encryption
is enabled can use IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_RESERVE_TAILROOM to indicate it.

lock rather than something SDIO-specific.

These two flags are used for the same purpose, just
combine them into a no-ir flag to annotate no initiating
radiation is allowed.
Old userspace sending either flag will have it treated as
the no-ir flag. To be considerate to older userspace we
also send both the no-ir flag and the old no-ibss flags.
Newer userspace will have to be aware of older kernels.

cw1200_irq_handler() expects the hwbus to be locked, but on the
SPI-path, that lock wasn't taken (unlike in the SDIO-path, where the
generic SDIO-code takes care of acquiring the lock).

The cw1200_spi driver tries to mirror the cw1200_sdio driver's lock
API, which relies on sdio_claim_host/sdio_release_host to serialize
hardware operations across multiple threads.
Unfortunately the implementation was flawed, as it lacked a way to wake
up the lock requestor when there was contention, often resulting in a
hang.
This problem was uncovered while trying to fix the
spi-transfers-in-interrupt-context BUG() corrected in the previous
patch. Many thanks to Dave Sizeburns for his assistance in fixing this.

When we get an interrupt from the hardware, the first thing the driver does
is tell the device to mask off the interrupt line. Unfortunately this
involves a SPI transaction in interrupt context. Some (most?) SPI
controllers perform the transfer asynchronously and try to sleep.
This is bad, and triggers a BUG().
So, work around this by using adding a hwbus hook for the cw1200 driver
core to call. The cw1200_spi driver translates this into
irq_disable()/irq_enable() calls instead, which can safely be called in
interrupt context.
Apparently the platforms I used to develop the cw1200_spi driver used
synchronous spi_sync() implementations, which is why this didn't surface
until now.
Many thanks to Dave Sizeburns for the inital bug report and his services
as a tester.
