Our offset handling becomes even a little more hackish now. For some reason I
do not understand all offsets as inrelative. It assumes base offset is 0x1000
but it will work for now as we make offsets relative anyway by removing base
0x1000. Should be cleaner however.

Attempting to read registers that don't exist on the SSB bus can cause
hangs on some boxes. At least some b43 devices are 'in the wild' that
don't have SPROMs at all. When the SSB bus support loads, it attempts
to read these (non-existant) SPROMs and causes hard hangs on the box --
no console output, etc.
This patch adds some intelligence to determine whether or not the SPROM
is present before attempting to read it. This avoids those hard hangs
on those devices with no SPROM attached to their SSB bus. The
SSB-attached devices (e.g. b43, et al.) won't work, but at least the box
will survive to test further patches. :-)

When IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR is configured by the driver, starting
of ieee80211_sta_conn_mon_timer should be prevented, as it is then not needed.
This is currently partially the case. As it seems, when a probe-response is
received from the AP the timer is still restarted, thus restarting the host
based connection keep-alive mechanism. These probe-responses happen at least
when scanning while associated.
Fix this by preventing starting of the ieee80211_sta_conn_mon_timer in the
ieee80211_rx_mgmt_probe_resp function.

Instead of increasing bits_per_symbol for supporting more streams, keep

Include MCS0-31 and also add SGI for HT20. This makes it
possible to support more different rate combinations with
newer hardware.

This adds the survey function to both mac80211 itself and to mac80211_hwsim.
For the latter driver, we simply invent some noise level.A real driver which
cannot determine the real channel noise MUST NOT report any noise, especially
not a magically conjured one :-)

When I set up multiple VAPs with ath9k, I encountered an issue that
the traffic may be lost after a while.
The detailed phenomenon is
1. After a while the clients connected to one of these VAPs will get
into a state that no broadcast/multicast packets can be transfered
successfully while the unicast packets can be transfered normally.
2. Minutes latter the unitcast packets transfer will fail as well,
because the ARP entry is expired and it can't be freshed due to the
broadcast trouble.
It's caused by the group key overwritten and someone discussed this
issue in ath9k-devel maillist before, but haven't work out a fix yet.
I referred the method in madwifi, and made a patch for ath9k.
The method is to set the high bit of the sender(AP)'s address, and
associated that mac and the group key. It requires the hardware
supports multicast frame key search. It seems true for AR9160.
Not sure whether it's the correct way to fix this issue. But it seems
to work in my test. The patch is attached, feel free to revise it.

The sta_cleanup timer is used to periodically expire buffered frames from the
tx buf. The timer is executing periodically, regardless of the need for it.
This is wasting resources.
Fix this simply by not restarting the sta_cleanup timer if the tx buffer was
empty. Restart the timer when there is some more tx-traffic.
