This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out.
Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.
Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.

Are the datastructures in this file the ones that go over
netlink and thus userland sees?
If so, please move the definitions to some file under include/linux,
as a convention we do not put userland API definitions into files
under include/net, that's why there is no include/net/Kbuild file.

No. These are purely the internal definitions, I'm just working on
defining the netlink attributes for the information going over to
userland (in include/linux/nl80211.h).

Excellent, thanks for the explanation.

Ack for the b43 and b43legacy changes.
But that one FIXME for the bphy should get fixed first in b43legacy.
You can drop the FIXME in b43, as b43 does not support bphy devices.
I'll probably submit a few changes to this after this was applied.
