This patch greatly reduces one of biggest memory waste in the driver.
The firmware headers provides the right values for extra head-/tailroom
and mtu size which are usually much lower than the old hardcoded ones.

It is obviously good for userspace to know up front which
interface modes a given piece of hardware might support (even
if adding such an interface might fail later because of
concurrency issues), so let's make cfg80211 aware of that.
For good measure, disallow adding interfaces in all other
modes so drivers don't forget to announce support for one mode
when they add it.

* No code changes...
* Split hw.c to multiple files for better maintenance and add some documentation on each file
code is going to grow soon (eeprom.c for example is going to get much stuff currently developed
on ath_info) so it's better this way.
* Rename following functions to maintain naming scheme:
ah_setup_xtx_desc -> ah_setup_mrr_tx_desc
(Because xtx doesn't say much, it's actually
a multi-rate-retry tx descriptor)
ath5k_hw_put_tx/rx_buf - > ath5k_hw_set_tx/rxdp
ath5k_hw_get_tx/rx_buf -> ath5k_hw_get_tx/rxdp
(We don't put any "buf" we set descriptor pointers on hw)
ath5k_hw_tx_start -> ath5k_hw_start_tx_dma
ath5k_hw_start_rx -> ath5k_hw_start_rx_dma
ath5k_hw_stop_pcu_recv -> ath5k_hw_stop_rx_pcu
(It's easier this way to identify them, we also
have ath5k_hw_start_rx_pcu which completes the
set)
ath5k_hw_set_intr -> ath5k_hw_set_imr
(As in get_isr we set imr here, not "intr")
* Move ath5k_hw_setup_rx_desc on ah->ah_setup_rx_desc so we can
include support for different rx descriptors in the future
* Further cleanups so that checkpatch doesn't complain
(only some > 80 col warnings for eeprom.h and reg.h as usual
due to comments)
Tested on 5211 and 5213 cards and works ok.

This patch rewrites the TX power recalculation algorithms to scale better
with changed enviromnent. If there's low
TX traffic, the power will be checked against the desired values
every 60 seconds.
If there is high TX traffic, the check is redone every 2 seconds. This improves
the reaction times a lot and confuses the rate control less.
It will also reduce the time it initially takes to tune to a new TX power
value. With the old algorithm it could take about 30 to 45 seconds to settle to
a new power value. This will happen in about two to four seconds now.

Some hardware configuration registers such as antenna and channel configuration
can only be written when the radio is enabled. Previously, we didn't consider
this, so some configuration items could be set inconsistently after reenabling
the radio. This patch changes the config() handler to only reprogram the
hardware when the radio is enabled. Configuration changes that are made while
the radio is off are postponed until the radio is switched back on. We also
leave the radio turned off during initialization and only enable it when
requested by mac80211. This allows us to get rid of the DIRTY_CONFIG flag,
because the device is now guaranteed to be completely initialized when brought
up by mac80211.

Some of the flags should be accessed atomically to
prevent race conditions. The flags that are most important
are those that can change often and indicate the actual
state of the device, queue or queue entry.
The big flag rename was done to move all state flags to
the same naming type as the other rt2x00dev flags and
made sure all places where the flags were used were changed. ;)
Thanks to Stephen for most of the queue flags updates,
which fixes some of the most obvious consequences of the
race conditions. Among those the notorious:
rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 0.
rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 0.
rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 0.

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?
