r206763:
Fix comment about ipw_assoc and remove some whitespaces; no functional
changes.

r206764:
Pass correct RSSI to ieee80211_input*().

r206765:
- Make ipw usable again by moving directly into ASSOC state.
- No need to manually switch to RUN state, assoc response takes care
  of that.

r206766:
Use iv_appie_wpa, with this commit WPA works again.

r206767:
Remove IPW_LOCK_DECL and fix various LORs.

o replace DLT_IEEE802_11 support in net80211 with DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO
  and remove explicit bpf support from wireless drivers; drivers now
  use ieee80211_radiotap_attach to setup shared data structures that
  hold the radiotap header for each packet tx/rx
o remove rx timestamp from the rx path; it was used only by the tdma support
  for debugging and was mostly useless due to it being 32-bits and mostly
  unavailable
o track DLT_IEEE80211_RADIO bpf attachments and maintain per-vap and
  per-com state when there are active taps
o track the number of monitor mode vaps
o use bpf tap and monitor mode vap state to decide when to collect radiotap
  state and dispatch frames; drivers no longer explicitly directly check
  bpf state or use bpf calls to tap frames
o handle radiotap state updates on channel change in net80211; drivers
  should not do this (unless they bypass net80211 which is almost always
  a mistake)
o update various drivers to be more consistent/correct in handling radiotap
o update ral to include TSF in radiotap'd frames
o add promisc mode callback to wi

<content type='text'>
sleepable context for net80211 driver callbacks. This removes the need for USB
and firmware based drivers to roll their own code to defer the chip programming
for state changes, scan requests, channel changes and mcast/promisc updates.
When a driver callback completes the hardware state is now guaranteed to have
been updated and is in sync with net80211 layer.

This nukes around 1300 lines of code from the wireless device drivers making
them more readable and less race prone.

The net80211 layer has been updated as follows
 - all state/channel changes are serialised on the taskqueue.
 - ieee80211_new_state() always queues and can now be called from any context
 - scanning runs from a single taskq function and executes to completion. driver
   callbacks are synchronous so the channel, phy mode and rx filters are
   guaranteed to be set in hardware before probe request frames are
   transmitted.

o call ieee80211_encap in ieee80211_start so frames passed down to drivers
  are already encapsulated
o remove ieee80211_encap calls in drivers
o fixup wi so it recreates the 802.3 head it requires from the 802.11
  header contents
o move fast-frame aggregation from ath to net80211 (conditional on
  IEEE80211_SUPPORT_SUPERG):
  - aggregation is now done in ieee80211_start; it is enabled when the
    packets/sec exceeds ieee80211_ffppsmin (net.wlan.ffppsmin) and frames
    are held on a staging queue according to ieee80211_ffagemax
    (net.wlan.ffagemax) to wait for a frame to combine with
  - drivers must call back to age/flush the staging queue (ath does this
    on tx done, at swba, and on rx according to the state of the tx queues
    and/or the contents of the staging queue)
  - remove fast-frame-related data structures from ath
  - add ieee80211_ff_node_init and ieee80211_ff_node_cleanup to handle
    per-node fast-frames state (we reuse 11n tx ampdu state)
o change ieee80211_encap calling convention to include an explicit vap
  so frames coming through a WDS vap are recognized w/o setting M_WDS

With these changes any device able to tx/rx 3Kbyte+ frames can use fast-frames.
