84fa4f43c4 wireless regulatory: move ignore_request
This function is only used once, move it closer to its caller.

2083c4997b wireless: clean up regulatory ignore_request function
This function has a few WARNs that may eventually trigger
when an AP sends rogue beacons, those must be removed. Some
of the comments in the function are also inappropriate as
this function is concerned with the global hint, not a per-
wiphy thing (which a multidomain flag on a wiphy would imply).

I'm convinced that we don't need to do anything to implement
multi-domain capability as 802.11-2007 specifies it because
it makes only two things mandatory:
 * starting of BSS/IBSS must have country information
   (this can easily be done with a mac80211 patch)
 * a STA must adopt the country information (we already have
   the framework for this)

But we don't have anything implemented anyway for now.

be3d48106c wireless: remove struct regdom hinting
The code needs to be split out and cleaned up, so as a
first step remove the capability, to add it back in a
subsequent patch as a separate function. Also remove the
publically facing return value of the function and the
wiphy argument. A number of internal functions go from
being generic helpers to just being used for alpha2
setting.

d2372b3152 wireless: make regdom passing semantics simpler
The regdom struct is given to the core, so it might as well
free it in error conditions.

f3b407fba5 wireless: remove cfg80211_reg_mutex
This mutex is wrong, we use cfg80211_drv_mutex (which should
possibly be renamed to just cfg80211_mutex) everywhere except
in one place, fix that and get rid of the extra mutex.

Also get rid of a spurious regulatory_requests list definition.

942b25cf90 cfg80211: clean up static regdomain mess
The statically defined regdomains are used in a very convoluted
way, use them instead to prime the information we have and then
continue operating normally.

a3d2eaf0dc cfg80211: fix regulatory code const
A few pointers and structures in the regulatory code are const,
but because it wasn't done properly a whole bunch of bogus
casts were needed to compile without warning. Mark everything
const properly to avoid that kind of junk code.

734366deae cfg80211: clean up regulatory mess
The recent code from Luis is an #ifdef hell and contains lots of
code that's stuffed into the wrong file making a whole bunch of
things needlessly non-static, and besides, what is it doing in
core.c??

b2e1b30290 cfg80211: Add new wireless regulatory infrastructure
This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The
main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory
code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution,
and to replace the initial centralized code we have where:

* only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU
* regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter
* all rules were built statically in the kernel

We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries
and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent
through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules
without updating the kernel.

Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain
based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a
respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built
regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the
regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to
further help compliance.

Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of
this.

For more information see:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA

For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter,
ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically
(US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY.
These old static definitions and the module parameter is being
scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this
you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless.
If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you
use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory
domain for us.

8318d78a44 cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion
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. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.

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.

I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.
