All current rate control algorithms agree to send management and no-ack
frames at the lowest rate. They also agree to do this when sta
and the private rate control data is NULL. We add a hlper to mac80211
for this and simplify the rate control algorithm code.
Developers wishing to make enhancements to rate control algorithms
are for broadcast/multicast can opt to not use this in their
gate_rate() mac80211 callback.

We allow the user to change the number of queues used via a module

This is not a valid regulatory domain as such these users were
unable to use these devices. Since this doesn't seem to be
a device EEPROM corruption we must treat it specially. It
may have been possible the manufacturer intended to use 0x0
as the regulatory domain and that would ultimately yield
to US but since we cannot get confirmationf or this we
default this special case to one of our world regulatory
