mac80211 reserves 24 bytes in skb->cb for the driver.
So far, we only used them to keep track of used and free device memory.
But p54spi will need a slice of it, as well as the stuck frame detection.

This patch moves a good chunk of code from the former statistic update
timer routine into a workqueue, which is kindly provided by mac80211.
Also as a nice side-effect we can lay the foundation for other
essential housekeeping features we want to do in the future.
e.g:
- drain the (clogged) tx_queue.
- initiate bursts.

Should it be static?
All of the above have been fixed. One question, however, remains: In struct
bootrec, the array "data" is treated in many places as native CPU order, but
it may be little-endian everywhere. As far as I can tell, this driver has only
been used with little-endian hardware.

as one can see on the huge jump, it's very plausible that firmware does not report the
full 64-bit mac time, just the lower 32bit and some kinds of flags...
Therefore if we want a useful timestamp we have to emulate the high bits.

This patch hopefully contains all necessary changes to support
firmwares for all devices up to atleast 2.13.3.0.
(or: LowerMAC Protocol Rev: 5.5 )
And this is a big win, since:
* newer firmwares are more stable and reliable than the old ones.
* no problems anymore with packages > 1399 octets (without lowering the MTU).
* monitor mode finally works on USB for more than just a few seconds.

Ever wondered why the signal was so bad with p54 compared to madwifi, or intel?
Well, if you have revision 1 rssi calibration curve points in your EEPROM, then wonder no more.
The firmware wants a extra 1 byte padding for every curve point. But someone forgot to put
them into the EEPROM's data structure...
So now, big question: what happens when we blindly "memcpy" these data points?

Commit b19fa1f, entitled "net: Delete NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE kconfig
option" breaks p54pci and p54usb.
Additionally, the old logic always tx'ed cts frames (if enabled)
with a short preamble when [rate > 3]. (i.e. with any 802.11g rate).
Of course this isn't that bad, but it's still wrong!

header for the hardware. -- JWL)

information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra

a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
is kept outside of the union.
