We are currently linking the skbs by using skb->next

a struct sk_buff_head instead. That also prepares for
passing that to drivers directly.

In WoWLAN, devices may use crypto keys for TX/RX
and could also implement GTK rekeying. If the
driver isn't able to retrieve replay counters and
similar information from the device upon resume,
or if the device isn't responsive due to platform
issues, it isn't safe to keep the connection up
as GTK rekey messages from during the sleep time
could be replayed against it.

The only protection against that is disconnecting
from the AP. Modifying mac80211 to do that while
it is resuming would be very complex and invasive
in the case that the driver requires a reconfig,
so do it after it has resumed completely. In that
case, however, packets might be replayed since it
can then only happen after TX/RX are up again, so
mark keys for interfaces that need to disconnect
as "tainted" and drop all packets that are sent
or received with those keys.

The code to handle powersaving stations has a race:
when the powersave flag is lifted from a station,
we could transmit a packet that is being processed
for TX at the same time right away, even if there
are other frames queued for it. This would cause
frame reordering. To fix this, lift the flag only
under the appropriate lock that blocks TX.

Additionally, the code to allow drivers to block a
station while frames for it are on the HW queue is
never re-enabled the station, so traffic would get
stuck indefinitely. Fix this by clearing the flag
for this appropriately.

Finally, as an optimisation, don't do anything if
the driver unblocks an already unblocked station.

Chipsets with hardware based connection monitoring need to autonomically
send directed probe-request frames to the AP (in the event of beacon loss,
for example.)

For the hardware to be able to do this, it requires a template for the frame
to transmit to the AP, filled in with the BSSID and SSID of the AP, but also
the supported rate IE's.

This patch adds a function to mac80211, which allows the hardware driver to

Somebody noticed this problem, and I outlined
to them how to fix it, but haven't heard back
from them. So while I was adding the state
field I figured I could use it to fix it.

The problem, as I understand it, is that when
we go offchannel while the driver has a queue
stopped, the driver will likely start draining
the queue and then enable it while offchannel.
This in turn will enable the interface queue,
and that leads to transmitting data frames on
the wrong channel.

Fix this by keeping track of offchannel status
per interface, and not enabling the interface
queues on interfaces that are offchannel when
the driver enables a queue.
