This allows the compiler to perform the necessary bitfield calculations
during compile time instead of run time and thus reduces the number of
instructions to run during each tasklet invocation. This should improve
performance in the RX hotpath.
This comes at the cost of a slight increase in the module size (for
example rt2800pci):

When powersaving is enabled, assocaition times are very high
(for WPA2 networks, the time can easily be around the 3 seconds).
This is caused, because the flushing of the queues takes
too much time. Without the flushing callback mac80211 assumes
a timeout of 100ms while scanning. Limit all flush waiting
loops to the same maximum.
We can apply this maximum by passing the drop status to the
driver, which makes sure the driver performs extra actions
during the waiting for the queue to become empty.
After these changes, association times fall within the
healthy range of ~0.6 seconds with powersaving enabled.
The difference between association time between powersaving
enabled and disabled is now only ~0.1 second (which can also
be due to the measuring method).

TX status is reported by the hardware when a packet has been
sent (or after TX failed after possible retries), which is some
time after the DMA completion. Since the rt2800usb hardware can
not signal interrupts we have to use a timer, otherwise the
TX status would only be read by the next packet's TX DMA
completion, or by the watchdog thread.

Add a timestamp to each queue entry which is updated whenever
the status of the entry changes, and remove the per-queue
timestamps. The previous check was incorrect and caused both
false positives and false negatives.
With the corrected check it comes apparent that the TX status
usually times out on rt2800usb unless there is sufficient traffic
(i.e. the next TX will complete the previous TX status).

Trying to fix the "TX status report missed" warnings
by reading the TX_STA_FIFO entries as quickly as possible.
The TX_STA_FIFO is too small in hardware, thus reading
it only from the workqueue is too slow and entries get lost.
Start an asynchronous read of the TX_STA_FIFO directly from
the TX URB completion callback (atomic context, thus it cannot
use the blocking rt2800_register_read()). If the async
read returns a valid FIFO entry, it is pushed into a larger
FIFO inside struct rt2x00_dev, until rt2800_txdone() picks
it up.
A .tx_dma_done callback is added to struct rt2x00lib_ops
to trigger the async read from the URB completion callback.

The number of flags defined for the rt2x00dev->flags field,
has been growing over the years. Currently we are approaching
the maximum number of bits which are available in the field.
A secondary problem, is that one part of the field are initialized only
during boot, because the driver requirements are initialized or device
requirements are loaded from the EEPROM. In both cases, the flags are
fixed and will not change during device operation. The other flags are
the device state, and will change frequently. So far this resulted in the fact
that for some flags, the atomic bit accessors are used, while for the others
the non-atomic variants are used.
By splitting the flags up into a "flags" and "cap_flags" we can put all flags
which are fixed inside "cap_flags". This field can then be read non-atomically.
In the "flags" field we keep the device state, which is going to be read atomically.
This adds more room for more flags in the future, and sanitizes the field access methods.

Since commit 0b7fde54f9 "rt2x00: Protect

stopping a tx queue in mac80211. But in case of a failure in the tx

but prevented rt2x00queue_unpause_queue to wake the queue up again
resulting in a stuck tx queue.

Some clients seem to rely upon the reception of BlockAckReqs to flush
their rx reorder buffer. In order to fix aggregation for these clients
rt2x00 should send a BlockAckReq if the transmission of an AMPDU
subframe fails.
Introduce a new flag TXDONE_AMPDU to indicate that this is an AMPDU
subframe and pass IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK to mac80211 if an
AMPDU subframe failed during transmission.
This fixes aggregation problems with Intel 5100 Windows STAs (and maybe
others as well).

For STBC transmissions rt2x00 used the number of RxSTBC streams the
destination STA indicates in its HT capabilities as STBC value in
the TXWI.
However, the legacy drivers and our own comment in rt2800.h suggest
that the STBC field in the TXWI only allows a value of 0 or 1.
The values 2 and 3 are reserved (probably for future devices).
And indeed, STBC transmissions to STAs indicating more then 1
RxSTBC stream fail when the STBC field is set to something >1.
Fix this by only setting the STBC field to 1 when STBC should be
used.

Since commit d1c3a37cee ("mac80211:
clarify alignment docs, fix up alignment") removed the requirement
for a 4-byte aligned payload rt2x00queue_align_payload is obsolete
as mac80211 will align the payload when it passes the frame to the
net stack.
As a result we can remove the call to rt2x00queue_align_payload in the
rx path and since that's the last user we can remove
rt2x00queue_align_payload altogether.
One advantage is that we save some alignment operations for frames
that don't need to be aligned (for example beause they are not passed
to the net stack).

Instead of hardcoding the tx status fifo size as 512 calculate it based
on the number of tx queues and the number of entries per queue. Also
round the size up to a power of 2 as kfifo would otherwise round it
down.
On rt2800pci this will increase the kfifo size from 512 bytes to 1024
bytes which is then able to hold the tx status for all entries in all
tx queues.
Furthermore, if the number of tx queues or tx entries changes in the
future (use of the MGMT queue for example) the kfifo size doesn't need
to be updated.

When setting up multiple BSSIDs in AP mode on an rt2800pci device we
previously used the STAs AID to select an appropriate key slot. But
since the AID is per VIF we can end up with two STAs having the same AID
