rt2x00: Request TXWI pointer from driver
The only reason why the write_tx_data callback function
is needed inside the driver, is because the location of
the TXWI descriptor is different on PCI and USB hardware.
Except for the beacon, where the TXWI is always at the
start of the SKB buffer.
In both cases the drivers write_tx_data function only
wrap around the function rt2800_write_txwi. Move write_tx_data
completely into the rt2800lib library, and add a callback

rt2x00: Move USB tx/rx done handling to workqueue
Move all TX and RX completion handling into a work structure,
which is handeled on the mac80211 workqueue. This simplifies
the code in rt2x00lib since it no longer needs to check if the
device is USB or PCI to decide which mac80211 function should be used.
In the watchdog some changes are needed since it can no longer rely
on the TX completion function to be run while looping through the
entries. (Both functions now work on the same workqueue, so this
would deadlock). So the watchdog now waits for the URB to return,
and handle the TX status report directly.
As a side-effect, the debugfs entry for the RX queue now correctly
displays the positions of the INDEX and INDEX_DONE counters. This
also implies that it is not possible to perform checks like queue_empty()
and queue_full() on the RX queue.

even a small fraction of MPDUs are forever lost at

In order to recover from this as quickly as possible, trigger a

ath9k: use AP beacon miss as a trigger for fast recalibration
When beacons get stuck in AP mode, the most likely cause is interference.
Such interference can often go on for a while, and too many consecutive
beacon misses can lead to connected clients getting dropped.
Since connected clients might not be subjected to the same interference
if that happens to be very local, the AP should try to deal with it as
good as it can. One way to do this is to trigger an NF calibration with
automatic baseband update right after the beacon miss. In my tests with
very strong interference, this allowed the AP to continue transmitting
beacons after only 2-3 misses, which allows a normal client to stay
connected.
With some of the newer - really sensitive - chips, the maximum noise
floor limit is very low, which can be problematic during very strong
interference. To avoid an endless loop of stuck beacons -> nfcal ->
periodic calibration -> stuck beacons, the beacon miss event also sets
a flag, which allows the calibration code to bypass the chip specific
maximum NF value. This flag is automatically cleared, as soon as the
first NF median goes back below the limits for all chains.
In my tests, this allowed an ath9k AP to survive very strong interference
(measured NF: -68, or sometimes even higher) without losing connectivity
to its clients. Even under these conditions, I was able to transmit
several mbits/s through the interface.

ath5k: disable ASPM L0s for all cards
Atheros PCIe wireless cards handled by ath5k do require L0s disabled.
For distributions shipping with CONFIG_PCIEASPM (this will be enabled
by default in the future in 2.6.36) this will also mean both L1 and L0s
will be disabled when a pre 1.1 PCIe device is detected. We do know L1
works correctly even for all ath5k pre 1.1 PCIe devices though but cannot
currently undue the effect of a blacklist, for details you can read
pcie_aspm_sanity_check() and see how it adjusts the device link
capability.
It may be possible in the future to implement some PCI API to allow
drivers to override blacklists for pre 1.1 PCIe but for now it is
best to accept that both L0s and L1 will be disabled completely for
distributions shipping with CONFIG_PCIEASPM rather than having this
issue present. Motivation for adding this new API will be to help
with power consumption for some of these devices.
Example of issues you'd see:
- On the Acer Aspire One (AOA150, Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001
Wireless Network Adapter [168c:001c] (rev 01)) doesn't work well
with ASPM enabled, the card will eventually stall on heavy traffic
with often 'unsupported jumbo' warnings appearing. Disabling
ASPM L0s in ath5k fixes these problems.
- On the same card you would see a storm of RXORN interrupts
even though medium is idle.
