mac80211: better definition of mactime
define mactime as the time when the first data symbol arrived at the HW. the
old definition was questionable because 802.11 defines timestamp only for
beacon and probe response frames, and there it means the timestamp field.
a stricter definition of mactime is necessary for correct merging of IBSS.
note that it is up to the driver to convert whatever its hardware returns to
this definition. unfortunately we don't know for example when atheros hardware
takes its rx timestamp exactly :(

Access to the queues is now protected under a spinlock, this

system of the queue.
Each queue entry allocates x bytes for driver/device specific data,
this cleans up the queue structure significantly and improves
code readability.
rt2500usb no longer needs 2 entries in the beacon queue to correctly
send out the guardian byte. This is now handled in the entry specific
structure.
rt61 and rt73 now use the correct descriptor size for beacon frames,

mac80211: A-MPDU Tx change tx_status to support Block Ack data
This patch adds fields to ieee80211_tx_status in order to allow block ack

module.

mac80211: A-MPDU Tx add MLME structures
This patch adds the needed structures to describe the Tx aggregation MLME
per STA
new:
- struct tid_ampdu_tx: TID aggregation information (Tx)
changed:
- struct sta_ampdu_mlme: Tx aggregation information per TID and
dialog token creator were added
- struct sta_info: tid_to_tx_q added for tid<->tx queue mapping

mac80211: A-MPDU Tx add session's and low level driver's API
This patch adds the API for 3 stages in A-MPDU Tx session flow:
- request mac80211 to start/stop A-MPDU Tx session for specific TID. such a
request should be issued by a load aware element, either mac80211 itself
or external element.
- requests by mac80211 to low-level driver to start/stop Tx aggregation.
notice that low level driver responds now with Starting Sequence Number.
- async feedback by low-level to mac80211 to inform that HW is ready for
next A-MPDU Tx state.
Changes in API to Rx A-MPDU were also made, reflected in iwlwifi changes as
well.

mac80211: allow sending multicast frames through virtual ports
When reworking the port access control code, I forgot multicast frames
and those are now always rejected because the destination station is
not known. This changes the code to allow through multicast frames and
also avoid the sta hash lookup (which is bound to fail) for them.

[IPV6]: Fix source address selection for ORCHID addresses
Skip the prefix length matching in source address selection for
orchid -> non-orchid addresses.
Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash IDentifiers (RFC 4843,
2001:10::/28) are currenty not globally reachable. Without this
check a host with an ORCHID address can end up preferring those over
regular addresses when talking to other regular hosts in the 2001::/16
range thus breaking non-orchid connections.

[IPV6]: Add ORCHID prefix to address label table
Add a new label for Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash Identifiers
(RFC 4843) prefix 2001:10::/28 to help proper source address
selection.
ORCHID addresses are used by for example Host Identity Protocol. They are
global and routable, but they currently need support from both endpoints
and therefore mixing regular and ORCHID addresses for source and
destination is a bad idea in general case.
