addba_req_num[tid] is supposed to have the count of consecutive
addba request attempts on 'tid' which failed. This count is checked
against a retry threshold (3 times) before starting the addba negotiation.
This patch fixes the way this addba count is incremented/reset and thereby
avoids indefinite addba attempts.

rfkill_set_global_sw_state() (previously rfkill_set_default()) will no
longer be exported by the rewritten rfkill core.
Instead, platform drivers which can provide persistent soft-rfkill state
across power-down/reboot should indicate their initial state by calling
rfkill_set_sw_state() before registration. Otherwise, they will be
initialized to a default value during registration by a set_block call.
We remove existing calls to rfkill_set_sw_state() which happen before
registration, since these had no effect in the old model. If these
drivers do have persistent state, the calls can be put back (subject
to testing :-). This affects hp-wmi and acer-wmi.
Drivers with persistent state will affect the global state only if
rfkill-input is enabled. This is required, otherwise booting with
wireless soft-blocked and pressing the wireless-toggle key once would
have no apparent effect. This special case will be removed in future
along with rfkill-input, in favour of a more flexible userspace daemon
(see Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt).
Now rfkill_global_states[n].def is only used to preserve global states
over EPO, it is renamed to ".sav".

In order to handle powersave frames properly we had needed
to pass these out to the device queues again, and introduce
the skb->requeue bit. This, however, also has unnecessary
overhead by needing to 'clean up' already tried frames, and
this clean-up code is also buggy when software encryption
is used.
Instead of sending the frames via the master netdev queue
again, simply put them into the pending queue. This also
fixes a problem where frames for that particular station
could be reordered when some were still on the software
queues and older ones are re-injected into the software
queue after them.

The minstrel rate controller periodically looks up rate indexes in
a sampling table. When accessing a specific row and column, minstrel
correctly does a bounds check which, on the surface, appears to handle
the case where mi->n_rates < 2. However, mi->sample_idx is actually
defined as an unsigned, so the right hand side is taken to be a huge
positive number when negative, and the check will always fail.
Consequently, the RC will overrun the array and cause random memory
corruption when communicating with a peer that has only a single rate.
The max value of mi->sample_idx is around 25 so casting to int should
have no ill effects.
Without the change, uptime is a few minutes under load with an AP
that has a single hard-coded rate, and both the AP and STA could
potentially crash. With the change, both lasted 12 hours with a
steady load.
Thanks to Ognjen Maric for providing the single-rate clue so I could
reproduce this.

skb_dma_unmap() is quite expensive for small packets,
because we use two different cache lines from skb_shared_info.
One to access nr_frags, one to access dma_maps[0]
Instead of dma_maps being an array of MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 elements,
let dma_head alone in a new dma_head field, close to nr_frags,
to reduce cache lines misses.

With this applied we can strengthen the partial checksum check:
In skb_partial_csum_set we check to see if the checksum offset
is within the packet. However, we really should check that it
is within the skb head as that's the only bit we can modify
without copying.

The rfkill core didn't initialise the poll delayed work
because it assumed that polling was always done by specifying
the poll function. cfg80211, however, would like to start
polling only later, which is a valid use case and easy to

delayed work and thus allow starting polling by calling the
rfkill_resume_polling() function after registration.

The new code added by this patch will make rfkill create
a misc character device /dev/rfkill that userspace can use
to control rfkill soft blocks and get status of devices as
well as events when the status changes.
Using it is very simple -- when you open it you can read
a number of times to get the initial state, and every
further read blocks (you can poll) on getting the next
event from the kernel. The same structure you read is
also used when writing to it to change the soft block of
a given device, all devices of a given type, or all
devices.
This also makes CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT selectable again in
order to be able to test without it present since its
functionality can now be replaced by userspace entirely
and distros and users may not want the input part of
rfkill interfering with their userspace code. We will
also write a userspace daemon to handle all that and
consequently add the input code to the feature removal
schedule.
In order to have rfkilld support both kernels with and
without CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT (or new kernels after its
eventual removal) we also add an ioctl (that only exists
if rfkill-input is present) to disable rfkill-input.
It is not very efficient, but at least gives the correct
behaviour in all cases.

This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:
* all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
rather than having one central implementation
* updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
lots of code
* rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
internally -- the core should do this
* the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister
* rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
should be avoided
* rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module
* drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
that do nothing if it isn't compiled in
* the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()
* the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS
* the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
operations in locked sections
* fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
changes -- this wasn't done before

This fixes an incorrect assumption (BUG_ON) made in
cfg80211 when handling country IE regulatory requests.
The assumption was that we won't try to call_crda()
twice for the same event and therefore we will not
recieve two replies through nl80211 for the regulatory
request. As it turns out it is true we don't call_crda()
twice for the same event, however, kobject_uevent_env()
*might* send the udev event twice and/or userspace can
simply process the udev event twice. We remove the BUG_ON()
and simply ignore the duplicate request.
