Split up the lhw lock and the scan lock. The latter is a mtx
while the former changes from mtx to sx as mac80211 downcalls may
sleep (and the ic lock is not usable in that case either and a larger
project to fix).
This will also enforce some lookups under lock (mostly scan) as well
as general protection for more compat code and avoid a possible
deadlock with one of the upcoming callbacks from driver into the
compat code.

Very basic implementations of ieee80211_{wake,stop}_queue[s],
as well as ieee80211_txq_schedule_start(), ieee80211_next_txq(),
and ieee80211_schedule_txq().
Various combinations of these are used by different wireless
drivers, incl. iwlwifi.

Most of the WME code has been there disabled for months. One of the
reasons was that it lead to crashes early on. It is now understood
that the crashes are independent event and we can enable WME.
Update the code and deal with the calls from net80211 and adjust the
updates to when mac80211 drivers expect them, coherently put it under
LKPI_80211_WME and enable the define locally.

With mac80211 operations (MO) tracing on we have seen some ill-ordered
executions of MO functions. In order to limit visibility of the mac80211
sta, pass the internal version into lkpi_80211_mo_sta_state() and only
there convert to the argument needed. This mostly eases tracing and
debugging.

Add a macro to each implemented mac80211 operation. This currently
turns into a printf if LINUXKPI_80211_DEBUG is defined but in the
future could become a different probe as well.
This is helpful for quick analysis and boot-time problem debugging
when DTrace and other frameworks may be harder to use.

For consistency rename LKPI_SCAN_RUNNING adding a LHW_ prefix.
Add a local flag LKPI_LHW_SCAN_HW mirroring the net80211
IEEE80211_FEXT_SCAN_OFFLOAD flag.
Slightly simplify the code.
Overload (*ic_scan_curchan) and (*ic_scan_mindwell) so that we can
call the net80211 implementation in case of software scan but skip it
in case of full-offload scans.
Also add a bandaid to our (*ic_set_channel) implementation to not siwtch
channels if we have an active hw_scan running.

Implement the mac80211 (*get_antenna) call and after checking any
antenna information present query the current configuration on startup
(both informations should be identical at this point in theory).
Both the wiphy variables and function call report a bitmask not a count.
Count the bits for net80211 for as long as we get away with just a
number in ic_[rt]xstream.

Upgrade the argument of (*bss_info_changed) mac80211 ops function call
from 32 to 64 bit.
Add an extra argument to ieee80211_beacon_get_template().
Both changes are needed in order to keep other out-of-tree drivers in
synch and to move forward.
The driver changes were extracted from Linux wireless-testing
7b7090b4c6a906cc7c3e2a460335f705b93f4506 and

Initially we were using the IEs from ieee80211_probereq_ie() of net80211
and put them into the common_ies field. Start by manually building the
per-band and common IE parts as drivers put them back together.
This also involves allocating the req.ie as one buffer for all IEs over
all bands and setting req.ie_len correctly based on how many bytes we
put in.
Manually building per-band scan IEs we still use the net80211 routines
to add IEs to the buffer (mostly).
This is needed by Realtek drivers but will equally used by others.
Realtek would simply panic due to skbs being allocated with the wrong
length.
Longer-term this will help us, e.g., when not supporting VHT on 2Ghz
and we would have to do this anyway.

Use an sx lock to protect the list of vifs. We could use the
linux mutex compat for this but our current implementation may
re-acquire the lock recursively so allow this. The change is
mainly motivated by the fact that some callers may sleep in the
interator function called. Recursiveness is needed because we
see find_sta_by_ifaddr() being called from an iterator function
from iterate_interfaces().

Rework the state machine parts for various reasons:
(1) to add sta tracing to be able to better follow ni and lsta state
(2) factor out/implement lkpi_lsta_remove() to unlink the lsta and
free the ni reference.
(3) avoid calling lkpi_disassoc() when you would think you should as
changing BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC setting vif->bss_conf.assoc to false
triggers a sta removal from firmware in iwlwifi which then triggers
follow-up errors. I do not understand why they use flags and state
and ?? in parallel (too many options and ways to do things?).
(4) when "roaming" (or being disassoc/deauth) from an AP both net80211
and apparently so mac80211 re-start with a new node/sta. This
results in us losing one or the other state in the compat layer
or not updating firmware appropriately. To resolve this make use
of (a) the newly introduced (*iv_update_bss)() and (b) always tear
a station down to "State 1" (INIT/SCAN/pre-AUTH) and only if needed
re-create the new one (if we go to AUTH).
A slightly earlier version has survived a night of wpa_supplicant
and hostapd fighting each other over disassoc and deauth and
re-associating/authorizing.
While there update a few comments and typos and do a few minor auxiliary
changes which are hard or not worth to extract.

Add 802.11 compat code for mac80211 and to a minimal degree cfg80211.
This allows us to compile and use basic functionality of wireless
drivers such as iwlwifi.
This is a constant work in progress but having it in the tree will
allow others to test and more easy to track changes and avoid having
snapshots no longer applying to branches.
