RT2860_WCID_MAX is supposed to describe the max STA index for wcid2ni, and
was instead being used as the size -- off-by-one.
rt2860_drain_stats_fifo was range-checking wcid only after accessing
out-of-bounds potentially.

- Alignment issues:
* Add missing __packed attributes + padding across all drivers; in
most places there was an assumption that padding will be always
minimally suitable; in few places - e.g., in urtw(4) / rtwn(4) -
padding was just missing.
* Add __aligned(8) attribute for all Rx radiotap headers since they can
contain 64-bit TSF timestamp; it cannot appear in Tx radiotap headers, so
just drop the attribute here. Refresh ieee80211_radiotap(9) man page
accordingly.
- Since net80211 automatically updates channel frequency / flags in
ieee80211_radiotap_chan_change() drop duplicate setup for these fields
in drivers.
Tested with Netgear WG111 v3 (urtw(4)), STA mode.
MFC after: 2 weeks
Replace various void * / int argument combinations with common structures:
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_status for *_tx_complete();
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_stats for *_tx_update();
While here, improve amrr_tx_update() for a bit:
1. In case, if receiver is not known (typical for Ralink USB drivers),
refresh Tx rate for all nodes on the interface.
2. There was a misuse:
- otus(4) sends non-decreasing counters (as originally intended);
- but ural(4), rum(4) and run(4) are using 'read & clear' registers
to obtain statistics for some period of time (and those 'last period'
values are used as arguments for tx_update()). If arguments are not big
enough, they are just discarded after the next call.
Fix: move counting into *_tx_update()
(now otus(4) will zero out all node counters after every tx_update() call)
Tested with:
- Intel 3945BG (wpi(4)), STA mode.
- WUSB54GC (rum(4)), STA / HOSTAP mode.
- RTL8188EU (urtwn(4)), STA mode.

Currently all radiotap structures in ral(4) are packed, but are not
aligned, which causes ral based devices to crash when one does
'ifconfig wlan0 up' for a wlan interface with a ral wlandev on arches
that care about structure alignment (e.g., MIPS).
Adding an aligned attribute helps fix this problem and ral devices
can be properly brought up.

connectivity interact with the net80211 stack.
Historical background: originally wireless devices created an interface,
just like Ethernet devices do. Name of an interface matched the name of
the driver that created. Later, wlan(4) layer was introduced, and the
wlanX interfaces become the actual interface, leaving original ones as
"a parent interface" of wlanX. Kernelwise, the KPI between net80211 layer
and a driver became a mix of methods that pass a pointer to struct ifnet
as identifier and methods that pass pointer to struct ieee80211com. From
user point of view, the parent interface just hangs on in the ifconfig
list, and user can't do anything useful with it.
Now, the struct ifnet goes away. The struct ieee80211com is the only
KPI between a device driver and net80211. Details:
- The struct ieee80211com is embedded into drivers softc.
- Packets are sent via new ic_transmit method, which is very much like
the previous if_transmit.
- Bringing parent up/down is done via new ic_parent method, which notifies
driver about any changes: number of wlan(4) interfaces, number of them
in promisc or allmulti state.
- Device specific ioctls (if any) are received on new ic_ioctl method.
- Packets/errors accounting are done by the stack. In certain cases, when
driver experiences errors and can not attribute them to any specific
interface, driver updates ic_oerrors or ic_ierrors counters.
Details on interface configuration with new world order:
- A sequence of commands needed to bring up wireless DOESN"T change.
- /etc/rc.conf parameters DON'T change.
- List of devices that can be used to create wlan(4) interfaces is
now provided by net.wlan.devices sysctl.
Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4),
that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing
changes to at least 8 drivers. Thanks to pluknet@, Oliver Hartmann,
Olivier Cochard, gjb@, mmoll@, op@ and lev@, who also participated in
testing.

Still, drivers: ndis, wtap, mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt, uath were not
tested. Changes to mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt are trivial and chances
of problems are low. The wtap wasn't compilable even before this change.
But the ndis driver is complex, and it is likely to be broken with this
commit. Help with testing and debugging it is appreciated.
