The current max throughput rate is known to be good as otherwise it
wouldn't be the max throughput rate. Since rate sampling can introduce
some overhead (by adding RTS for example or due to not aggregating the
frame) don't sample the max throughput rate.

TX status fifo is limited to 16 elements. When we send more frames than
that, we can easily loose status, what is not good for rate scaling
algorithm.
On my testing the change does not degrade performance, actually make
is slightly better. Additionally with the patch I can see much less
various rt2x00 warnings in dmesg.

Tx statuses of aggregated subframes contain packetid of first subframe
in the AMPDU. We can not identify AMPDU subframes based on packedid, so
simply assume that status match first pending frame in the queue. Thats
mostly the same what 2800pci do.

Currently we read tx status register after each urb data transfer. As
callback procedure also trigger reading, that causing we have many
"threads" of reading status. To prevent that introduce TX_STATUS_READING
flags, and check if we are already in process of sequential reading
TX_STA_FIFO, before requesting new reads.
Change timer to hrtimer, that make TX_STA_FIFO overruns less possible.
Use 200 us for initial timeout, and then reschedule in 100 us period,
this values probably have to be tuned.
Make changes on txdone work. Schedule it from
rt2800usb_tx_sta_fifo_read_completed() callback when first valid status
show up. Check in callback if tx status timeout happens, and schedule
work on that condition too. That make possible to remove tx status
timeout from generic watchdog. I moved that to rt2800usb.
Loop in txdone work, that should prevent situation when we queue work,
which is already processed, and after finish work is not rescheduled
again.

Patch change txdone code to make it similar like txdone in rt2800pci,
process only one entry from queue matching tx status.
Before we processed all pending entries from queue until PACKEDID match,
that caused that we do not report tx statuses correctly.

When regulatory information changes our HT behavior (e.g,
when we get a country code from the AP we have just associated
with), we should use this information to change the power with
which we transmit, and what channels we transmit. Sometimes
the channel parameters we derive from regulatory information
contradicts the parameters we used in association. For example,
we could have associated specifying HT40, but the regulatory
rules we apply may forbid HT40 operation.
In the situation above, we should reconfigure ourselves to
transmit in HT20 only, however it makes no sense for us to
disable receive in HT40, since if we associated with these
parameters, the AP has every reason to expect we can and
will receive packets this way. The code in mac80211 does
not have the capability of sending the appropriate action
frames to signal a change in HT behaviour so the AP has
no clue we can no longer receive frames encoded this way.
In some broken AP implementations, this can leave us
effectively deaf if the AP never retries in lower HT rates.
This change breaks up the channel_type parameter in the
ieee80211_enable_ht function into a separate receive and
transmit part. It honors the channel flags set by regulatory
in order to configure the rate control algorithm, but uses
the capability flags to configure the channel on the radio,
since these were used in association to set the AP's transmit
rate.

This value is not really very useful by itself,
yet some drivers (including iwlwifi until I can
figure out what it should do) use it. At least
rename it to "last_tsf" to indicate the meaning
and add a note that it may be really old.
I suspect the value may become useful combined
with the rx_status->mactime, but we don't (yet)
store that value and pass it to the driver.
