Instead of simply alternating antenna, send multicast frames out each antenna
based on the proportion of sucessfully transmitted unicast frames. This helps
in situations where one antenna is significantly better than another.

This fixes a bug when renaming multiple wireless cards on slow devices.
The pci registration causes udev to rename the device but the sysctl is
not registered yet so the device renames but the corresponding sysctl
entries are not renamed.

* Move some variable initialisation out of sysctl register where it does not belong.
* Only change antenna based on RX traffic if both diversity and an RX antenna is not set
* Set HW/HAL diversity setting on HW/HAL reset

similar code was removed in r3503, but it was wrong before as well, because
the packet needs to be dropped instead of requeued to actually achieve
prioritization between different packet types (WME classes). if we allow
one queue to consume all TX buffers then there is no buffer left to service
packets on higher priority queues.

The last descriptor is now implicit in the structure and meta-data of the buffers; axq_link does not need to be maintained separately.
Add macros to to return the last buffer, descriptor, and link them as necessary.
Make the queue moving macro implicitly link descriptors, and remove the explicit descriptor linking in this case.
ath_node_move_data is still desperately in need of a review; it is used in XR.

* Formatting
* Add a function to remove SKB from ath_buf.
* Call aforementioned function early if we are accepting a frame, so that there's not chance the data can get stomped on by DMA. We should probably do this for ignored frames as well, but I got fed up trying to sort out the stack of goto.
* Remove some KASSERT for skb users, as the SKB are always copied.

Fixed a bug where we removed TX descriptors too early. This should fix NETDEV
WATCHDOG error messages. Apparently, TX descriptor status is updated by the
hardware before TXDP.

The rx overruns should dissapear with the previous performance improvements and a little bit more runway here. The 100 more to tx should only help in cases where large numbers of small packets are set and you are going for maximum throughput. Even then, I haven't proven you will ever need this many tx buffers. I've also bumped the reserve pool for management frames from 5 to 20.
These settings tested well in the lab with multiple station links running bandwidth tests.

* Only hold the RX queue lock while removing and while re-inserting a buffer -
allowing pre-emption to work properly while the tasklet is reaping and
recycling rx buffers.
* All skb and bus handling is managed in the ath_rxbuf_init function now.
* Do not stop processing when ath_rxbuf_init fails, because that means low
free skb but does NOT mean the queue is fully processed. Since we also keep
our skbuff except during a very brief period when we free one and reallocate
one - unless pre-emption or SMP steals it, chances are very good we can keep
processing the queue even under low memory conditions -- and avoid dreaded
rx overruns.
* Add missing locks around code blocks that iterate over rx buffer list in
flush/drain/init/cleanup/etc helper functions.

I've simplified the buffer initialization code so that it
always allocates things as if there were one or more monitor VAPs. This is
defensive since monitor VAPs can are created and/or destroyed while the radio is
up.
The old logic was basically changing the behavior of the initialization function
dynamically based on the presence of a monitor VAP but could lead to a mixed set
of buffers.
The revised code keeps all the buffers the same and make sure there is room for a radiotap
or prism header if necessary in advance.
Without this change, even after adding a monitor VAP you are going to pull SKBs that are too small for a while.

* Fix a bug where we would copy any cloned skb received in ath_hardstart,
and free the original... before returning the original to the queue!
The result of this would be memory corruption at best, randomly placed panic
at worst.
* In one case we returned -ENETDOWN from hard start, which in current kernels
is NOT NETDEV_TX_OK so it would therefore requeue the packet which we just
released.
* Fixes the logic for both requeue and drop in hardstart fail so that we never
leak, never double-free, and never leave the kernel with an invalid pointer
to an SKB we just freed.

this is what it does.
* Rename ATH_BUFSTATUS_DONE to ATH_BUFSTATUS_RXDESC_DONE since this is what
we mean - has the descriptor been processed.
* Eliminate a case where we were processing each descriptor twice and
double-counting the statistics.
* Delegate decision on whether to schedule the rx queue to
ath_intr_process_rx_descriptors so we do not schedule it when there is no work.

* Beacon calibration interval needs to be per-radio, not global because
each radio is going to have it's IQ gain calibration reached at different
times. With multi-radio systems, you could have one radio calibrated and one
in sorry shape and the calibration interval would be dropped back to the
longer intervals for both. This also necessitated removal of the sysctl var
for "calibrate" since it was the wrong thing.
* Fix for jiffies rollover bugs - use macros and mod_timer calls rather than
hacking timer structures directly.
* Always process noise floor before retrieving it. That is to say, the process
noise floor call and the get channel noise call should always be one after the
other, owing to things like channel changes and scanning.
ath_hal_process_noisefloor(sc->sc_ah);
ic->ic_channoise = ath_hal_get_channel_noise(sc->sc_ah, &(sc->sc_curchan));
* Calculate noise floor and read noise level at more opportune times/places.
