Support for monitor device intended to capture all the network activity.
This interface could be used by networks sniffers and is already
supported by WireShark. That's a good test point to check that basic
MAC support works.

An interface to allocate and register ieee802154 compatible device.
The allocated device has the following representation in memory:
+-----------------------+
| struct wpan_phy |
+-----------------------+
| struct mac802154_priv |
+-----------------------+
| driver's private data |
+-----------------------+
Used by device drivers to register new instance in the stack.

The IEEE 802.15.4 Working Group focuses on the standardization of the
bottom two layers of ISO/OSI protocol stack: Physical (PHY) and MAC.
The MAC layer provides access control to a shared channel and reliable
data delivery. The main functions performed by the MAC sublayer are:
association and disassociation, security control, optional star
network topology functions, such as beacon generation and Guaranteed
Time Slots (GTSs) management, generation of ACK frames (if used), and,
finally, application support for the two possible network topologies
described in the standard.
This is an initial commit which describes main data structures needed
for ieee802.15.4 compatible devices representation in the MAC layer.

This represents the mass deletion of the of the tokenring support.
It gets rid of:
- the net/tr.c which the drivers depended on
- the drivers/net component
- the Kbuild infrastructure around it
- any tokenring related CONFIG_ settings in any defconfigs
- the tokenring headers in the include/linux dir
- the firmware associated with the tokenring drivers.
- any associated token ring documentation.

We are going to delete the Token ring support. This removes any
special processing in the core networking for token ring, (aside
from net/tr.c itself), leaving the drivers and remaining tokenring
support present but inert.
The mass removal of the drivers and net/tr.c will be in a separate
commit, so that the history of these files that we still care
about won't have the giant deletion tied into their history.

__ratelimit() can be considered an inverted bool test because
it returns true when not ratelimited. Several tests in the
kernel tree use this __ratelimit() function incorrectly.
No net_ratelimit uses are incorrect currently though.
Most uses of net_ratelimit are to log something via printk or
pr_<level>.
In order to minimize the uses of net_ratelimit, and to start
standardizing the code style used for __ratelimit() and net_ratelimit(),
add a net_ratelimited_function() macro and net_<level>_ratelimited()
logging macros similar to pr_<level>_ratelimited that use the global
net_ratelimit instead of a static per call site "struct ratelimit_state".

In mixed burst (MB) mode, the AHB master always initiates
the bursts with fixed-size when the DMA requests transfers
of size less than or equal to 16 beats.
This patch adds the MB support and the flag that can be
passed from the platform to select it.
MB mode can also give some benefits in terms of performances
on some platforms.

David pointed out gcc might generate poor code with 31bit fields.
Using u16 is more than enough and permits a better code output.
Also make the code intent more readable using constants, fixed point arithmetic
not being trivial for everybody.

and puts them in the next falling slot in the list. Oh, the comment
above the PnP defines was referring to some obsolete or out-of-tree
