Because the code lacks all the GNU extensions to printf() format stuff,
the compiler doesn't helpfully tell us that I messed up in a previous
commit.
Pointy hat to: adrian, who likely only cares about this because he's the
only one who bothers flipping on net80211 debugging.
Currently, a channel width change updates the 802.11n HT info data in
net80211 but it doesn't trigger any device changes. So the device
driver may decide that HT40 frames can be transmitted but the last
device channel set only had HT20 set.
Now, a task is scheduled so a hardware reset or change isn't done
during any active ongoing RX. It also means that it's serialised
with the other task operations (eg channel change.)
This isn't the final incantation of this work, see below.
For now, any unmodified drivers will simply receive a channel
change log entry. A subsequent patch to ath(4) will introduce
some basic channel change handling (by resetting the NIC.)
Other NICs may need to update their rate control information.
TODO:
* There's still a small window at the present moment where the
channel width has been updated but the task hasn't been fired.
The final version of this should likely pass in a channel width
field to the driver and let the driver atomically do whatever
it needs to before changing the channel.

* Added verify_mesh_*_len functions that verify the length
according to the amendment spec and return number of destination addresses
for allocation of appropriate struct size in memory;
* Modified hwmp_recv_action_meshpath to allocate HWMP ie instead of
storing them on the stack and store all available field according the flags;
* Modify hwmp_add_mesh* to work with all cases of HWMP according to amendment.
* Modify hwmp_send_* to calculate correct len of bytes for the HWMP ie.
* Added new M_80211_MESH_* malloc defines.
* Added macros with magic numbers for HWMP ie sizes according to amendment.
* Added the external address to all HWMP ie structs.

* Change in mesh_input to validate that QoS is set and Mesh Control field
is present, also both bytes of the QoS are read;
* Moved defragmentation in mesh_input before we try to forward packet as
inferred from amendment spec, because Mesh Control field only present in first
fragment;
* Changed in ieee80211_encap to set QoS subtype and Mesh Control field present,
only first fragment have Mesh Control field present bit equal to 1;

* Moved old categories as specified by D4.0 to be action fields of MESH category
as specified in amendment spec;
* Modified functions to use MESH category and its action fields:
+ ieee80211_send_action_register
+ ieee80211_send_action
+ ieee80211_recv_action_register
+ieee80211_recv_action;
* Modified ieee80211_hwmp_init and hwmp_send_action so they uses correct
action fields as specified in amendment spec;
* Modified ieee80211_parse_action so that it verifies MESH frames.
* Change Mesh Link Metric to use one information element as amendment spec.
Draft 4.0 defined two different information elements for request and response.

The scan code unlocks the comlock and calls into the driver. It then
assumes the state hasn't changed from underneath it.
Although I haven't seen this particular condition trigger, I'd like to
be informed if I or anyone else sees it.
What I'm thinking may occur:
* A cancellation comes in during the scan_end call;
* the cancel flag is set;
* but it's never checked, so scandone isn't updated;
* .. and the interface stays in the STA power save mode.
It's a subtle race, if it even exists.

It doesn't _really_ help all that much, I'll commit something to
sys/net/if.c at some point explaining why, but the lock should be held
when checking/manipulating/branching because of said lock.
comlock, I'd like to find and analyse these cases to see if they
really are valid.
So, throw in a lock here and wait for the (hopefully!) inevitable
complaints.
* Change the mesh IE size to be IEEE80211_MESH_CONF_SZ rather than the
size of the structure;
* conf_cap is now a uint8_t rather than a uint16_t (uint16_t in D3.0,
uint8_t in the amendment spec);
* Update mesh config capability bits - earlier bits were from draft X,
current is amendment spec;
* Update the following to be an enum rather than #define and added
a VENDOR entry too from the amendment spec;
IEEE80211_MESHCONF_PATH_*
IEEE80211_MESHCONF_METRIC_*
IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CC_*
IEEE80211_MESHCONF_SYNC_*
IEEE80211_MESHCONF_AUTH_*
* Kept IEEE80211_MESHCONF_FORM_* and IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAP_* as
defines because they are defined in a way that we need to mask in/out
information;
* In IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAP_* IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAP_TBTTA is removed
and 0x80 is made reserved as defined in the amendment spec.

In order to allow for radar pattern matching to occur, the DFS CAC/NOL
handling needs to be made configurable. This commit introduces a new
sysctl, "net.wlan.dfs_debug", which controls which DFS debug mode
net80211 is in.
* 0 = default, CSA/NOL handling as per normal.
* 1 = announce a CSA, but don't add the channel to the non-occupy list
(NOL.)
* 2 = disable both CSA and NOL - only print that a radar event occured.
This code is not compiled/enabled by default as it breaks regulatory
handling. A user must enable IEEE80211_DFS_DEBUG in their kernel
configuration file for this option to become available.

This makes it much easier to determine whether an event occurs in the
net80211 taskqueue (which was called "ath0 taskq") or the ath driver
taskqueue (which is also called "ath0 taskq".)
For example, this particular topology didn't work correctly from all
nodes:
[A] - [B] - [C] - [D]

This allows for multiple MAC addresses to be printed on the same
debugging line. ether_sprintf() uses a static char buffer and
thus isn't very useful here.

Although the module _builds_, it fails to load because of a missing symbol from
ieee80211_tdma.c.
Specifics:
* Always build ieee80211_tdma.c in the module;
* only compile in the code if IEEE80211_SUPPORT_TDMA is defined.
* Call it before sending probe responses, so the ACL code has the
chance to reject sending them.
* Pass the whole frame to the ACL code now, rather than just the
destination MAC - that way the ACL module can look at the frame
contents to determine what the response should be.
This is part of some uncommitted work to support band steering.

Some hardware (eg the AR9160 in STA mode) seems to "leak" unicast FROMDS
frames which aren't destined to itself. This angers the net80211 stack -
the existing code would fail to find an address in the node table and try
passing the frame up to each vap BSS. It would then be accepted in the
input routine and its contents would update the local crypto and sequence
number state.
If the sequence number / crypto IV replay counters from the leaked frame
were greater than the "real" state, subsequent "real" frames would be
rejected due to out of sequence / IV replay conditions.
This is also likely helpful if/when multi-STA modes are added to net80211.

This supports both station and hostap modes:
* Station mode quiet time element support listens to quiet time
IE's and modifies the local quiet time configuration as appropriate;
* Hostap mode both obeys the locally configured quiet time period
and includes it in beacon frames so stations also can obey as needed.

The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.
I found this useful when trying to debug the AR9160 STA RX filter issue -
I'd get crypto reply errors but it wasn't entirely clear which TID it
was for.
