24f7580e85 minstrel_ht: fixed rate mode through debugfs
Found several threads about fixed rate mode in minstrel_ht for test
environments, but no patches for it.

This patch provides such a mode through debugfs.

eae44756d6 minstrel: make the rate control ops reusable from another rc implementation
This patch makes it possible to reuse the minstrel rate control ops
from another rate control module. This is useful in preparing for the
new 802.11n implementation of minstrel, which will reuse the old code
for legacy stations.

44ac91ea84 minstrel: simplify and fix debugfs code
This patch cleans up the debugfs read function for the statistics by
using simple_read_from_buffer instead of its own semi-broken hack.
Also removes a useless member of the minstrel debugfs info struct.

I noticed that the throughput field of the minstrel_rate struct is never used,
so remove it.

f4a8cd94fc minstrel: improve performance for non-MRR drivers
This patch enhances minstrel's performance for non-MRR setups,
by preventing it from sampling slower rates with >95% success
probability and by putting at least 1 non-sample frame between
several sample frames.
