Users wishing to tweak tx power want it to happen immediately,
try to respect that. This was tested by Lorenzo by measuring the
received signal strength from an AP with ath9k and the patch.
Changing the tx power on the AP produced these results:
1) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 20 ---> Rx power -37dbm
2) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 15 ---> Rx power -41dbm
3) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 10 ---> Rx power -45dbm
4) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 5 ---> Rx power -51dbm
5) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 0 ---> Rx power -37dbm
The result with 0 is an anomoly and would need to be
addressed through a separate patch.

nl80211_associate() was rejecting (re)association attempts with EBUSY
in some cases where we are currently associated with an AP that uses
different channel from the destination AP. Fix this by passing the
current wdev to rdev_fixed_channel() in the same way that was already
done for join-IBSS and connect commands. This allows the fixedchan
check to skipped for the current wdev and allows the reassociation to
proceed.

This patch moves the tx cleanup routines out of the critical
interrupt context and into the (previously known as rx) tasklet.
The main goal of this operation is to remove the extensive
usage of spin_lock_irqsaves in the generic p54common library.
The next step would be to modify p54usb to do the
rx processing inside a tasklet (just like usbnet).

The Tx DMA descriptor has two kinds of flags that select RTS/CTS usage.
The first one (global for the frame) selects whether RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-self should be used, the second one enables RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-self usage for an individual multi-rate-retry entry.
Previously the code preparing the descriptor only enabled the global
flag, if the first MRR series selected the local one.
Fix this by enabling the global flag if any of the MRR entries need it.
With this patch, rate control can properly select the use of RTS/CTS
for all MRR entries except the first one, which is the default behavior.

Currently IRQ0..IRQ15 are assigned to IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's on
all the cpu's.
If these IRQ's are handled by legacy pic controller, then the kernel
handles them only on cpu 0. So there is no need to block this vector
space on all cpu's.
Similarly if these IRQ's are handled by IO-APIC, then the IRQ affinity
will determine on which cpu's we need allocate the vector resource for
that particular IRQ. This can be done dynamically and here also there
is no need to block 16 vectors for IRQ0..IRQ15 on all cpu's.
Fix this by initially assigning IRQ0..IRQ15 to IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's only
on cpu 0. If the legacy controllers like pic handles these irq's, then
this configuration will be fixed. If more modern controllers like IO-APIC
handle these IRQ's, then we start with this configuration and as IRQ's
migrate, vectors (/and cpu's) associated with these IRQ's change dynamically.
This will freeup the block of 16 vectors on other cpu's which don't handle
IRQ0..IRQ15, which can now be used for other IRQ's that the particular cpu
handle.

configurations. ]

In an earlier commit,
mac80211: disable software retry for now
Pavel Roskin reported a problem that seems to be due to
software retry of already transmitted frames. It turns
out that we've never done that correctly, but due to
some recent changes it now crashes in the TX code. I've
added a comment in the patch that explains the problem
better and also points to possible solutions -- which
I can't implement right now.
I disabled software retry of failed/filtered frames
because it was broken. With the work of the previous
patches, it now becomes fairly easy to re-enable it
by adding a flag indicating that the frame shouldn't
be modified, but still running it through the transmit
handlers to populate the control information.

When mac80211 asks a driver to encrypt a frame, it
must assign the control.hw_key pointer for it to
know which key to use etc. Currently, mac80211 does
this whenever it would software-encrypt a frame.
Change the logic of this code to assign the hw_key
pointer when selecting the key, and later check it
when deciding whether to encrypt the frame or let
it be encrypted by the hardware. This allows us to
later simply skip the encryption function since it
no longer modifies the TX control.

There's no value in setting a flag that will
never be checked after this point, this seems
to be legacy code -- I think previously the
flag was used to check whether to encrypt the
frame or not. Now, however, the flag need not
be set, and setting it actually interferes if
the frame will be processed again later.

Note that there are still some issues that seem to be related
