This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of
a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This
structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and
contains a variable length driver-use data area.
This has two advantages:
* removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better
for working with network namespaces and performance
* allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without
having to allocate own lists/hash tables

Remove b43 PIO support.
DMA works well on all supported devices. There's no reason to use PIO.
Additionally, new devices don't support PIO in hardware anymore.
b43 PIO support is dead and unused code.
After applying this patch please do
git rm drivers/net/wireless/b43/pio.h
git rm drivers/net/wireless/b43/pio.c
to remove the main PIO support code.

This fixes antenna selection in b43. It adds a sanity check
for the antenna numbers we get from mac80211.

Sometimes it can be useful to see the FCS, especially when
bad-FCS frames are shown. Pass the FCS to mac80211 and let
it worry about snipping it off when required.

These drivers pass full mactime information to the stack, make them
indicate this via the new RX_FLAG_TSFT to get mac80211 to show this
information in monitor mode.

This patch fixes the parsing of the RX data header channel field.
The current code parses the header incorrectly and passes a wrong
channel number and frequency for each frame to mac80211.
The FIXMEs added by this patch don't matter for now as the code
where they live won't get executed anyway. They will be fixed later.
