The code to handle powersaving stations has a race:
when the powersave flag is lifted from a station,
we could transmit a packet that is being processed
for TX at the same time right away, even if there
are other frames queued for it. This would cause
frame reordering. To fix this, lift the flag only
under the appropriate lock that blocks TX.
Additionally, the code to allow drivers to block a
station while frames for it are on the HW queue is
never re-enabled the station, so traffic would get
stuck indefinitely. Fix this by clearing the flag
for this appropriately.
Finally, as an optimisation, don't do anything if
the driver unblocks an already unblocked station.

Some of the new AR9003 cards do not come with an external EEPROM chip
anymore. Calibration data on these cards is stored in the OTP ROM on
the chip.
This patch adds support for reading this data, and also adds support
for different EEPROM chip sizes (512 bytes instead of 1K).

Since the pointers after the rates in the tx info cannot be used anymore
after frames have been queued, this area can be used to store information
that was previously stored in the ath_buf. With these changes, we can delay
the ath_buf assignment in the aggregation code until aggregates are formed.
That will not only make it possible to simplify DMA descriptor setup to
do less rewriting of uncached memory, but will also make it easier to
move aggregation out of the core of the ath9k tx path.

rt2800usb chips need to add 1~3 bytes zero padding after each 802.11 header & payload,
and at the end need to add 4 bytes zero padding whether doing TX bulk aggregation or not,
TXINFO_W0_USB_DMA_TX_PKT_LEN in TXINFO must include 1-3 bytes padding after 802.11 header & payload
but do not include 4 bytes end zero padding.
In rt2800usb_get_tx_data_len do not consider multiple of the USB packet size case, sometimes this will
cause USB DMA problem.

Chipsets with hardware based connection monitoring need to autonomically
send directed probe-request frames to the AP (in the event of beacon loss,
for example.)
For the hardware to be able to do this, it requires a template for the frame
to transmit to the AP, filled in with the BSSID and SSID of the AP, but also
the supported rate IE's.
This patch adds a function to mac80211, which allows the hardware driver to
fetch this template after association, so it can be configured to the hardware.
