struct iwl_rx_mem_buffer implementation details
(DMA address, list pointers) that the upper
layers don't need. Introduce iwl_rx_cmd_buffer
that is passed upstream and only contains the
needed data (the page). Additionally, access
this data only via accessor functions, allowing
us to change the implementation in the future.
These accessors are rxb_addr() (as before) and
rxb_steal_page() to take ownership of the data.

When CMD_WANT_SKB is set for a (synchronous)
command, the response is passed back to the
caller which is then responsible for freeing
it. Make this more abstract with real API,
passing directly the response packet in the
new cmd.resp_pkt member and also introduce
iwl_free_resp() to free the pages -- this
way the upper layers don't have to directly
touch the page implementation.
NOTE: This breaks IDI -- the new code isn't reflected there yet!

We currently use the _irqsafe version, but that
isn't recommended together with ieee80211_rx()
as it can cause races. If the device reports
a TX-status and RX in that order then with the
current combination mac80211 might process them
in the other order, which can cause issues with
powersaving clients.
Use ieee80211_tx_status() to avoid this race.
Since we don't want to call it with locks held,
process the frame queues later -- this is fine
as they are on the stack.

In the WoWLAN suspend flow, instead of accessing
registers directly, ask the transport to do the
required setup at the end of suspend. If the
transport doesn't implement this, don't tell the
stack we support WoWLAN.
When the device suspends w/o WoWLAN, mac80211
will have stopped it already, which has already
called iwl_apm_stop() via stop_hw(). Thus, it
isn't necessary to call it again in pcie_suspend
and we can simply do nothing there.
This unifies the regular and WoWLAN suspend.

With mac80211 now giving us station information
(via the sta_state callback) before auth/assoc
we can get rid of tx_sync by adding the station
early for the case of managed interfaces. Keep
AP mode actions the same for now.
As we now get the BSSID early, we can also get
rid of iwl_reprogram_ap_sta().
We can still optimise the number of RXONs we
send to the device, but that can be done later.

There's no reason to set EXIT_PENDING when we
start removing the module, as mac80211 will
cleanly shut down the device in this case.
Additionally, there's no point in rejecting
commands to the device when we're cleaning up
as that only leads to unwanted errors from
mac80211 being printed, such as
failed to remove key (...) from hardware (-16)

If we only monitor while associated, the following
can happen:
- we're associated, and the queue stuck check
runs, setting the queue "touch" time to X
- we disassociate, stopping the monitoring,
which leaves the time set to X
- almost 2s later, we associate, and enqueue
a frame
- before the frame is transmitted, we monitor
for stuck queues, and find the time set to
X, although it is now later than X + 2000ms,
so we decide that the queue is stuck and
erroneously restart the device
It happens more with P2P because there we can
go between associated/unassociated frequently.

Driver rtl8192ce when used with the RTL8188CE device would start at about
20 Mbps on a 54 Mbps connection, but quickly drop to 1 Mbps. One of the
symptoms is that the AP would need to retransmit each packet 4 of 5 times
before the driver would acknowledge it. Recovery is possible only by
unloading and reloading the driver. This problem was reported at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207.
The problem is due to a missing update of the gain setting.

When driver rtl8192cu is used with the debug level set to 3 or greater,
the result is "sleeping function called from invalid context" due to
an rcu_read_lock() call in the DM refresh routine in driver rtl8192c.
This lock is not necessary as the USB driver does not use the struct
being protected, thus the lock is set only when a PCI interface is
active.

timer in userspace, wpa_s for example, there is a new flag,
NL80211_FEATURE_INACTIVITY_TIMER, in nl80211_feature_flags
through which drivers can register their capability to use
the inactivity timeout to free the stations.
