Kalle Valo 04de838159 mac80211: add beacon filtering support
Add IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTERING flag so that driver inform that it supports
beacon filtering. Drivers need to call the new function
ieee80211_beacon_loss() to notify about beacon loss.

Johannes Berg 4be8c3873e mac80211: extend/document powersave API
This modifies hardware flags for powersave to support three different
flags:
 * IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS - indicates general PS support
 * IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK - indicates nullfunc sending in software
 * IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS - indicates dynamic PS on the device

It also adds documentation for all this which explains how to set the
various flags.

Additionally, it fixes a few things:
 * a spot where && was used to test flags
 * enable CONF_PS only when associated again

Johannes Berg d1c3a37cee mac80211: clarify alignment docs, fix up alignment
Not all drivers are capable of passing properly aligned frames,
in particular with mesh networking no hardware will support
completely aligning it correctly.

This patch adds code to align the data payload to a 4-byte
boundary in memory for those platforms that require this, or
when CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG_PACKET_ALIGNMENT is set.

Johannes Berg 62c1f95e39 mac80211: clean up kdoc
A few errors sneaked in over time, some functions no longer exist,
for some alternatives exist. This changes the docbook template to
include the right things.

Johannes Berg dbbea6713d mac80211: add documentation book
Quite a while ago I started this book. The required kernel-doc
patches have since gone into the tree so it is now possible to
build the book in mainline.

The actual documentation is still rather incomplete and not all
things are linked into the book, but this enables us to edit
the documentation collaboratively, hopefully driver authors can
add documentation based on their experience with mac80211.
