Add a 'vap' to ath_keyset().
Add some code (which is currently disabled) which modifies the group
multicast key cache behaviour. I haven't yet figured out what the
exact/correct behaviour is so I'm leaving it disabled. It's worth
investigating and "correcting", especially for future work with
mesh/ibss and encryption.

Some more various fixes, etc from my 11n branch.
* When doing software TX queue handling and flush, it's possible
that the deletion of a VAP (eg a STA shutdown) will queue a
"STA Disassociate" frame whilst the interface is being deleted.
The VAP is then deleted, and the frame ends up being queued
to a node that is freed before it can be TX'ed. Things go awry
at this point.
There's no way at the present to avoid freeing the underlying node
when the vap is being deleted. It's too late in the game.
I suspect the real fix is to make sure the frame is software
queued with no completion information somehow, so it doesn't
link back to a node whose underlying VAP has been freed.
For now, we'll just have to do this.
* Add some comments showing what's going on.
* Move an instance of the ATH_LOCK() around to protect the interrupt
set. I'll worry about changing that to a PCU lock later on once
the 11n code is in the tree.

In preparation for supporting 11n TX/RX properly, allow for TX queue draining
and interface resets to be marked as ATH_RESET_DEFAULT, ATH_RESET_FULL,
ATH_RESET_NOLOSS.
Currently a reset is still a reset - ie, all tx/rx frames in the hardware
queues are purged. This means that those frames will be lost to the 11n TX
and RX aggregation state tracking, breaking AMPDU sessions.
The (eventual) new semantics:
* ATH_RESET_DEFAULT:
full reset, this is the default for reset situations
which I haven't yet figured out what they should be.
* ATH_RESET_FULL:
A full reset - for things such as channel changes.
* ATH_RESET_NOLOSS:
Don't flush TX/RX queues - handle pending RX frames and leave TX
frames where they are; restart TX DMA from where it was.

Preparation for correct 802.11n tx/rx handling.
* Change ath_rx_proc() to ath_rx_tasklet(); make that the taskqueue function.
This way (eventually) ath_rx_proc() can be called from elsewhere in the
packet reset/processing queue so frames aren't just "flushed" during
interface resets/reconfigure. This breaks 802.11n RX aggregation tracking.
* Extend ath_tx_proc() to take a 'resched' flag, which marks whether to
reschedule further RX PCU reads or not.
* Change ath_tx_processq() to take a "dosched" flag, which will eventually
be used to indicate whether to reschedule the software TX scheduler.

Retire 'options TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS' and replace local jumbo
allocator with UMA backed jumbo allocator by default. Previously
ti(4) used sf_buf(9) interface for jumbo buffers but it was broken
at this moment such that enabling jumbo frame caused instant panic.
Due to the nature of sf_buf(9) it heavily relies on VM changes but
it seems ti(4) was not received much blessing from VM gurus. I
don't understand VM magic and implications used in driver either.
Switching to UMA backed jumbo allocator like other network drivers
will make jumbo frame work on ti(4).
While I'm here, fully allocate all RX buffers. This means ti(4) now
uses 512 RX buffer and 1024 mini RX buffers.
To use sf_buf(9) interface for jumbo buffers, introduce a new
'options TI_SF_BUF_JUMBO'. If it is proven that sf_buf(9) is better
for jumbo buffers, interesting developers can fix the issue in
future.
ti(4) still needs more bus_dma(9) cleanups and should use separate
DMA tag/map for each ring(standard, jumbo, mini, command, event
etc) but it should work on all platforms except PAE.

Merge in some fixes from the if_ath_tx branch.
* Close down some of the kickpcu races, where the interrupt handler
can and will run concurrently with the taskqueue.
* Close down the TXQ active/completed race between the interrupt
handler and the concurrently running tx completion taskqueue
function.
* Add some tx and rx interrupt count tracking, for debugging.
* Fix the kickpcu logic in ath_rx_proc() to not simply drain and
restart the TX queue - instead, assume the hardware isn't
(too) confused and just restart RX DMA. This may break on
previous chipsets, so if it does I'll add a HAL flag and
conditionally handle this (ie, for broken chipsets, I'll
just restore the "stop PCU / flush things / restart PCU"
logic.)

Migrate the STAILQ lists to TAILQs.
A bunch of the 11n TX aggregation logic wants to traverse lists of buffers
in various ways. In order to provide O(1) behaviour in this instance,

This does blow out the memory footprint and CPU cycles slightly for some
of these operations. I may convert some of these back to STAILQs once
the rest of the software transmit queue handling has been stabilised.

Reject frames in STA mode which are not destined to the local STA address.
Some hardware (eg the AR9160 in STA mode) seems to "leak" unicast FROMDS
frames which aren't destined to itself. This angers the net80211 stack -
the existing code would fail to find an address in the node table and try
passing the frame up to each vap BSS. It would then be accepted in the
input routine and its contents would update the local crypto and sequence
number state.
If the sequence number / crypto IV replay counters from the leaked frame
were greater than the "real" state, subsequent "real" frames would be
rejected due to out of sequence / IV replay conditions.
This is also likely helpful if/when multi-STA modes are added to net80211.
