mac80211 allows us to store private data per
station, so put the station ID there. This
allows us to avoid the station ID lookup when
removing regular stations. To also be able to
avoid the lookup to remove the special IBSS
BSSID station, track its ID in the per-vif
private data.

Currently, the broadcast station is managed along
with the interface type, rather than always being
present. That leads to a bug with injection -- it
is currently not possible to inject frames when
the only virtual interface is a monitor, because
in that the required broadcast station is missing.
Additionally, allocating and deallocating the
broadcast station's LQ all the time is wasteful,
and the code to support this is fairly complex.
So this changes completely the way we manage the
broadcast station. Rather than manage it along
with any interface, we now allocate it when we
bring the device up, and remove it again when we
bring the device down. When we bring the device
up, we don't immediately program the broadcast
station into it, instead we just mark it active
and rely on the next restore cycle to upload it
to the device. This works because an unassociated
RXON is always required at least once to set up
device parameters, which implies a reprogramming
of stations into the device.
As we now manage all stations properly, there no
longer is a need for forcing a clearing of them
via iwl_clear_ucode_stations(), which can become
a lot simpler.

Previously in interrupt handling tasklet, iwlwifi driver only clear/ack

If the hardware generates unattended interrupts, driver will not ack them,
defeating the interrupt coalescing feature. This results in high number

This patch addresses this issue by acking those unattended interrupts
in the tasklet. Local test showed an order of magnitude improvement
in terms of the number of interrupts without sacrificing networking

mac80211 recently implemented two new callbacks that are used to request
station add/remove from the driver. The benefot from these new callbacks
are that they enable the driver to sleep while performing this work.
This is a big patch since a few things need to be coordinated in this move.
First we need to decouple station management from rate scaling, which
caused a lot of code to be moved and/or deleted. Next we needed to tie in
with mac80211's station management callback and let it direct our station
management as well as trigger the rate scaling initialization.

Currently the broadcast station is added after every RXON command. Change
this to only add the broadcast station when interface is added by mac80211.
With this we need some extra work to ensure broadcast station is always
present since station table is cleared when RXON without ASSOC bit set is
sent. To deal with this we re-add all driver known stations to uCode after
such an RXON command is sent.
We also do some cleanup and remove the various calls to clear the station
table. We now only clear the station table in two scenarios:
- only clear uCode portion of station table when RXON command without ASSOC
bit is sent
- clear uCode and driver portion when interface goes down or is removed.
We need to do this clearing when interface goes down to deal with the
device restart/reconfigure routines which do not remove the interface, but
do add the interface during reconfiguration.
Previously the keys were also cleared when station table in driver is
cleared, this is not done anymore since mac80211 will take care that keys
are set and cleared correctly.
There is a known issue with this change. Associating with different AP
without bringing interface down fails with a firmware error. This is
because of the lack of full station notification support and the later
patches in this series that complete the station notification support will
fix this.
