Luis Carlos Cobo e32f85f7b9 mac80211: fix use of skb->cb for mesh forwarding
Now we deal with mesh forwarding before the 802.11->802.3 conversion, thus
eliminating a few unnecessary steps. The next hop lookup is called from
ieee80211_master_start_xmit() instead of subif_start_xmit(). Until the next hop
is found, RA in the frame will be all zeroes for frames originating from the
device. For forwarded frames, RA will contain the TA of the received frame,
which will be necessary to send a path error if a next hop is not found.

Johannes Berg 9cfb0009da mac80211: clean up IEEE80211_FC use
Really doesn't need to be defined four times.

Also, while at it, remove a useless macro (IEEE80211_ALIGN32_PAD)
and a function prototype for a function we don't actually have
(ieee80211_set_compression.)

Luis Carlos Cobo 37659ff8e1 mac80211: fix mesh endianness sparse warnings and unmark it as broken
This patch fixes all the mesh related endianness warnings reported by sparse. As
they were the reason why Johannes marked mesh as BROKEN, that flag has been
removed.

Johannes Berg d0709a6518 mac80211: RCU-ify STA info structure access
This makes access to the STA hash table/list use RCU to protect
against freeing of items. However, it's not a true RCU, the
copy step is missing: whenever somebody changes a STA item it
is simply updated. This is an existing race condition that is
now somewhat understandable.

This patch also fixes the race key freeing vs. STA destruction
by making sure that sta_info_destroy() is always called under
RTNL and frees the key.

Luis Carlos Cobo 050ac52cbe mac80211: code for on-demand Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol
This file implements the on-demand Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol, at this moment
using hop-count as the metric. When no mesh path exists for a given destination
or the mesh path is not active, frames addressed to that destination will be
queued and a Path Request frame will be sent. Queued frames will be sent when
the path is resolved (usually after reception of a Path Response) or discarded
if discovery times out. Path Requests will also be sent to refresh paths that
are being used and are close to expiring.

Path Errors are sent when a path discovery process triggered by the attempt to
forward a frame originated in a different mesh point times out. Path Errors are
also sent when a peer link is determined to be unreachable because of high error
rates.

Multiple destination support in Path Requests and Path Errors and precursors
have not been implemented yet.
