cfg80211/mac80211: extensible frame processing

Allow userspace to register for more than just
action frames by giving the frame subtype, and
make it possible to use this in various modes
as well.

With some tweaks and some added functionality
this will, in the future, also be usable in AP
mode and be able to replace the cooked monitor
interface currently used in that case.

 /**
+ * DOC: Frame transmission/registration support
+ *
+ * Frame transmission and registration support exists to allow userspace
+ * management entities such as wpa_supplicant react to management frames
+ * that are not being handled by the kernel. This includes, for example,
+ * certain classes of action frames that cannot be handled in the kernel
+ * for various reasons.
+ *
+ * Frame registration is done on a per-interface basis and registrations
+ * cannot be removed other than by closing the socket. It is possible to
+ * specify a registration filter to register, for example, only for a
+ * certain type of action frame. In particular with action frames, those
+ * that userspace registers for will not be returned as unhandled by the
+ * driver, so that the registered application has to take responsibility
+ * for doing that.
+ *
+ * The type of frame that can be registered for is also dependent on the
+ * driver and interface type. The frame types are advertised in wiphy
+ * attributes so applications know what to expect.
+ *
+ * NOTE: When an interface changes type while registrations are active,
+ *       these registrations are ignored until the interface type is
+ *       changed again. This means that changing the interface type can
+ *       lead to a situation that couldn't otherwise be produced, but
+ *       any such registrations will be dormant in the sense that they
+ *       will not be serviced, i.e. they will not receive any frames.
+ *
+ * Frame transmission allows userspace to send for example the required
+ * responses to action frames. It is subject to some sanity checking,
+ * but many frames can be transmitted. When a frame was transmitted, its
+ * status is indicated to the sending socket.
+ *
+ * For more technical details, see the corresponding command descriptions
+ * below.
