Some chips may support different lengths of user-supplied IEs with a
single scheduled scan command than with a single normal scan command.

To support this, this patch creates a separate hardware description
element that describes the maximum size of user-supplied information
element data supported in scheduled scans.

Since we now have the necessary API in place to support
GTK rekeying, applications will need to know whether it
is supported by a device. Add a pseudo-trigger that is
used only to advertise that capability. Also, add some
new triggers that match what iwlagn devices can do.

In WoWLAN, devices may use crypto keys for TX/RX
and could also implement GTK rekeying. If the
driver isn't able to retrieve replay counters and
similar information from the device upon resume,
or if the device isn't responsive due to platform
issues, it isn't safe to keep the connection up
as GTK rekey messages from during the sleep time
could be replayed against it.

The only protection against that is disconnecting
from the AP. Modifying mac80211 to do that while
it is resuming would be very complex and invasive
in the case that the driver requires a reconfig,
so do it after it has resumed completely. In that
case, however, packets might be replayed since it
can then only happen after TX/RX are up again, so
mark keys for interfaces that need to disconnect
as "tainted" and drop all packets that are sent
or received with those keys.

While 32 KHz sleep clock might provide some power saving benefits,
it is also a major source of stability issues, on OpenWrt it produced
some reproducible data bus errors on register accesses on several
different MIPS platforms.

All the Atheros drivers that I can find do not enable this feature,
so it makes sense to leave it disabled in ath5k as well.

Decryping frames on key_miss handling shouldn't be done for Michael
MIC failed frames as h/w would have already decrypted such frames
successfully anyway.

Also leaving CRC and PHY error(where the frame is going to be dropped
anyway), we are left to prcoess Decrypt error for which s/w decrypt is
selected anway and so having key_miss as a separate check doesn't serve
anything. So making key_miss handling mutually exlusive with other RX
status handling makes much more sense.

This patch addresses an issue with STA not reporting MIC failure events
resulting in STA being disconnected immediately.

When commands time out, corruption ensues. As lbs_complete_command()
is called without locking, the command node is mistakenly freed twice.
Also fixed up locking here in a few other places.

The nature of command timeout may be that the card didn't even
acknowledge receipt of the request. Detect this case and reset dnld_sent
so that other commands don't hang forever.

When cmdnodes are moved between the free list and the pending list,
their list heads should be reinitialized. Fixed this.

Sometimes commands are completed without actually submitting them or
removing them from cmdpendingq. We must remember to remove them from
cmdpendingq in these cases, so handle this in lbs_complete_command().

Harmless signals generated during suspend/resume were interrupting
lbs_cmd. Convert to an uninterruptible sleep to avoid this.

lbs_thread must be woken up every time there is some new work to do.
I found that when 2 commands are queued, ther completion of the first
command would not wake up lbs_thread to submit the second. Poke lbs_thread
at the end of lbs_complete_command() to fix this.
