These patches implement a feature essential for long distance wireless links:
setting ACK timeout and slot time. The API is based on a parameter called
Coverage Class specified by the 802.11 standard.

The first two patches add support to the kernel 802.11 stack via a new nl80211
parameter and a mac80211 callback.

Following two patches implement the callback in ath5k driver. Implementation
in ath9k driver is planned.

One additional patch outside the series adds the necessary userspace support
to iw.
