performance by removing the need to copy to these internal buffers.
This also simplifies the bottom half of the interrupt handler.
This is an incremental cleanup: after removing the redundant buffers, we
can further improve the driver to use a threaded IRQ handler instead of
maintaining its own thread. However I would like a few folks to test
the buffer removal first and make sure that I'm not introducing
regressions.

This variable is set once, and tested once.
However, the code path that can set it is
mutually exclusive with the code path that
tests it, so the test is always true. Thus
we also don't need to set it either and can
just remove the variable.

mac80211: deprecate qual value
This value is unused by mac80211, because it was only
be used by wireless extensions, and turned out to not
be useful there because the quality value needs to be
comparable between scan results and the current value
which is impossible when the qual value is calculated
taking into account noise, for example.
Since it is unused anyway, this patch deprecates it
in the hope that drivers will remove their sometimes
quite expensive calculations of the value.
I'm open to actual uses of the value, but the best
way of using it seems to be what the Intel drivers do
which should probably be generalised if we have noise
values from the hardware.

Force bias is a fix for usage of AR5416 radios on the 2.4 GHz band
for orientation sensitivity. This was only partially implemented
with the ath9k_hw_decrease_chain_power() but first -- this was being
called for all chipsets which is not correct and second -- it was
missing the actual orientation code.
We now ensure to only enable force bias only for AR5416 and BUG_ON()
on other chipsets. Although ath9k_hw_decrease_chain_power() was enabled
for newer chipsets I suspect that it never ran unless the EEPROM had
ATH9K_ANT_FIXED_A or ATH9K_ANT_FIXED_B for antenna diversity.

ath9k_hw_rfattach() was just calling a helper and this helper was
doing nothing for single-chip devices, and for non single-chip devices
it is just allocating memory for banks to program the RF registers
at a later time. Simplify this by having the hw initialization call
the rf bank allocation directly for external radios.
Also, propagate an -ENOMEM properly now upon failure.

ath9k_hw: start documenting 802.11n RF anlong front ends
Document what we can about the RF analog front ends (radios)
of Atheros 802.11n devices. What should be clearer now is the
what we do for old pre AR5416 and AR5418 MAC based devices in
comparison to the modern sigle-chip 802.11n solutions.
All devices after AR9280 are single chip and require less
programming -- the RF registers no longer need to be initialized
as they all have the RF analog front end embedded together with
the MAC/BB; this includes the AR9271. Older devices such as the
ones with the AR5416 MACs (PCI) or AR5418 MACs (PCI-E) have an
external 2.4 GHz AR2133 radio or a dual band 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz
AR5133 radio. These external radios require additional programming
of the RF registers.
Clarify which parts are for what devices and which code is
shared. This patch has no functional changes.

ath9k_hw: update register initialization/reset values for ar9271
This update the register initialization/reset values (aka initvals)
for ar9271 based on the last recommended values on 2009-06-04 by our
systems engineering team.
The changes account for:
* Supporting ar9271 1.0 and ar9271 1.1 together, the difference
is bb_spectral_scan_ena, for 1.0 we'll set this to 0x1.
* Ensuring we get the correct noise floor values -115 ~ -118
when we enable bb_enable_ant_div_lnadiv=0 and
mc_tx_def_ant_sel=1. Previous to this we would get noise
floor values in the range -50 ~ -80. To fix settings for
the registers:
* 0x8120[2] mc_mic_new_location_enable is changed to 0x1. The MAC team
suggest to set this value.
* 0x9910[0] bb_spectral_scan_ena is changed to 0x0.
For ar9271 1.1 we don't need to enable this bit.
