[RFC PATCH v1 0/2] mac80211: ps-poll implementation

[Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@iki.fi>]

Here's my suggestion for how to implement ps-poll in mac80211. Also
this fixes power save again for p54/stlc45xx, but most probably breaks
ath9k. I would like to hear opinions from others, especially from
Atheros. How does ath9k cope with the ps-poll method? Also I highly
recommend to get hardware waking up for multicast frames, it would be
a lot easier and reliable that way.

Open question is that should power save be disabled whenever mac80211
is ps-polling the frames. For example, p54/stlc45xx does not require to
disable power save in that case, it just stays awake long enough to
receive the data frame from the AP. So I did not disable power save
mode in this case, but I would like to hear comments what other
hardware need.
