This patch adds a new interframe spacing time handling into mac802154
layer. Interframe spacing time is a time period between each transmit.
This patch adds a high resolution timer into mac802154 and starts on
xmit complete with corresponding interframe spacing expire time if
ifs_handling is true. We make it variable because it depends if
interframe spacing time is handled by transceiver or mac802154. At the
timer complete function we wake the netdev queue again. This avoids
new frame transmit in range of interframe spacing time.
For synced driver we add no handling of interframe spacing time. This
is currently a lack of support in all synced xmit drivers. I suppose
it's working because the latency of workqueue which is needed to call
spi_sync.

Running make C=2 occurs these warnings:
cast from restricted __be64
incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types)
expected unsigned long long[unsigned] [usertype] val
got restricted __be64 [usertype]<noident>
cast from restricted __be64
cast to restricted __le64
This patch fix these warnings by forcing to __le64 type and using swabp64
instead swab64.

This patch splits the IEEE802154_HW_OMIT_CKSUM hardware flag into
IEEE802154_HW_TX_OMIT_CKSUM and IEEE802154_HW_RX_OMIT_CKSUM. This is
useful to deliver the received crc from the driver layer to the monitor
interface. At the moment we can't do that without change the xmit
handling.
The received checksum should be visible in monitor mode only.

Tasklets have much less overhead than workqueues. This patch also
removes the heap allocation for the worker on receiving path.
Like mac80211 we should prefer use a tasklet here instead a workqueue to
getting fast out of interrupt context when ieee802154_rx_irqsafe is
called by driver. Like wireless inside the tasklet context we should
call netif_receive_skb instead netif_rx_ni anymore.

This patch removes the channel hopping feature before xmit. There are
several issues to provide a real channel hopping (timing requirements,
etc...).
We don't have any known kernelspace protocol which really use this
feature. And I don't know an real user of this feature.
We simply drop this feature now.
This patch removes also the hold of pib lock which isn't needed by any
real driver xmit callback implementation.

This patch adds new mac802154 hw flags for transmit power, csma and
listen before transmit (lbt). These flags indicates that the transceiver
supports these features. If the flags are set and the driver doesn't
implement the necessary functions, then ieee802154_register_device
returns -ENOSYS "Function not implemented".

This patch provides a set of structures to represent 802.15.4 MAC
headers, and a set of operations to push/pull/peek these structs from
skbs. We cannot simply pointer-cast the skb MAC header pointer to these
structs, because 802.15.4 headers are wildly variable - depending on the
first three bytes, virtually all other fields of the header may be
present or not, and be present with different lengths.
The new header creation/parsing routines also support 802.15.4 security
headers, which are currently not supported by the mac802154
implementation of the protocol.
