It's obsolete and useless now, when the HAL sources are open. It also
misuses ath_hal_debug in a way incompatible with the use of
ath_hal_debug inside the HAL.
The mmiotrace facility is available in the kernel and doesn't require
any changes to the sources.

Provide forward declaration of struct ath_hal in ah_osdep.h. Implement
OS_GETUPTIME (the implementation is quite primitive, as it's only used
once for some obscure condition in 5212 chips). Implement HALDEBUG()
and ath_hal_ether_sprintf().

Use correct shifts for the rate data. Remove excessive debug statements
that would have to be extended even further to deal with AR5416.
The code has been taken from the FreeBSD driver. The original coding
style has been preserved.

It's better to keep initialization in one place to simplify conversion
to the new style netdev ops.
Declare ieee80211_ioctl() in ieee80211_linux.h next to other
ieee80211_ioctl* functions defined in ieee80211_wireless.c.

Use spin_lock_irqsave_nested() instead of spin_lock_irqsave(). Use a
separate counter for the locking subclass, so that we don't exceed the
maximal value of 8. We have 10 queues, but inactive queues don't get a
locking subclass number.
Provide a replacement for spin_lock_irqsave_nested() for kernels older
than 2.6.19.

Check that AH_PRIVATE(_ah)->ah_eepromDetach is not NULL before calling
it. This fixes kernel oops in case if the attach function for the chip
fails before EEPROM support initialization and calls the corresponding
detach function.

When the compiler tries inlining static functions, it can notice that
some variables may not be initialized in the functions being inlined.
Provide initialization for output variables in all branches of
execution, no matter how anomalous. Add asserts in some cases.

gcc warns that "array subscript is above array bounds" with -O3 since
pvar is assigned before _i is checked.
Eliminate _i, use a new ppvar variable, which is a pointer to the
reference table. Terminate reference tables with NULL instead of using
ARRAY_SIZE. Fix types of reference tables to match those actually used
by the code.

due to unlucky timing of beacon timer configuration (which we try to avoid) and
due to unlucky timing of local TSF updates (triggered by the reception of a
beacon with the same BSSID - something we can't avoid) the beacon timers (we
have 4) can be updated seperately, leaving one of them in the past, not beeing
updated until the timers wrap around. due to the fact that the beacon interval
does not fit into the timer period (16 bit) a whole number of times the size of
the ATIM window can get bigger than desired (we don't use ATIM right now so the
window size should always be 1).
this results in a phaenome described as "ramping" (ticket #1154) which is
actually a transmission delay, since the hardware is not allowed to transmit
data in the ATIM period.
the problem is described and discussed in length at
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.madwifi.devel/6066
since we don't know of a way to disable ATIM alltogether, the following adds
some workarounds to this problem:
1.) disable interrupts in timing critical function ath_beacon_config
2.) stop beacons before reconfiguring them
3.) check ATIM window after critical code which might have changed the timers
3a.) beacon configuration
3b.) reception of a beacon with the same BSSID. the hardware will have updated
the local TSF and this might have left one of the beacon timers in the past.

Just because GFP_KERNEL is defined, it doesn't mean that gfp_t is
available. Define gfp_t as a macro instead.
