Almost anywhere in the code we avoid committing rxon while performing
scan, and make rxon commit when scan complete. However in some places
in the code we do not follow that rule. This patch fix that problem in
iwlagn_configure_filter().

Since we do not commit directly in iwl3945_configure_filter, we can
also do the same for agn, so I just remove iwlcore_commit_rxon()
function and add a comment. Also change comment for iwl3945.

We have seen several DMA races when we race against
stopping and starting the PCU. I suspect that when
we cannot stop the PCU we may hit some of these same
races so warn against them for now but only when
debugging (CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG) is enabled.

If you run into this warning and are a developer,
please fix the cause of the warning. The potential
here, although I cannot prove yet, is that the DMA
engine can be confused and start writing to a buffer
that was already DMA'd before and at least the kernel
assumes is not being accessed by hardware anymore.

After a module loads you will have loaded the world roaming regulatory
domain or a custom regulatory domain. Further regulatory hints are
welcomed and should be respected unless the regulatory hint is coming
from a country IE as the IEEE spec allows for a country IE to be a subset
of what is allowed by the local regulatory agencies.

So disable all channels that do not fit a regulatory domain sent
from a unless the hint is from a country IE and the country IE had
no information about the band we are currently processing.

This fixes a few regulatory issues, for example for drivers that depend
on CRDA and had no 5 GHz freqencies allowed were not properly disabling
5 GHz at all, furthermore it also allows users to restrict devices
further as was intended.

If you recieve a country IE upon association we will also disable the
channels that are not allowed if the country IE had at least one
channel on the respective band we are procesing.

This was the original intention behind this design but it was
completely overlooked...

We should be enabling country IE hints for WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY

if it needed one. Without this Country IEs are not passed on to drivers
that have set WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY, today this is just all
Atheros chipset drivers: ath5k, ath9k, ar9170, carl9170.

Because all of the descriptor data structures are marked as __packed, GCC
assumes the worst case wrt. alignment and generates unaligned load/store
instructions on MIPS for access to all fields.
Since descriptors always have to be 4-byte-aligned, we can just mark the
data structures with __aligned(4), which allows GCC to generate much more
efficient code.
