Last round of updates for net-next:
 * revert a patch that caused a regression with mesh userspace (Bob)
 * fix a number of suspend/resume related races
   (from Emmanuel, Luca and myself - we'll look at backporting later)
 * add software implementations for new ciphers (Jouni)
 * add a new ACPI ID for Broadcom's rfkill (Mika)
 * allow using netns FD for wireless (Vadim)
 * some other cleanups (various)

This cipher can be used only as a group management frame cipher and as
such, there is no point in validating that it is not used with non-zero
key-index. Instead, verify that it is not used as a pairwise cipher
regardless of the key index.

Some further updates for net-next:
 * fix network-manager which was broken by the previous changes
 * fix delete-station events, which were broken by me making the
   genlmsg_end() mistake
 * fix a timer left running during suspend in some race conditions
   that would cause an annoying (but harmless) warning
 * (less important, but in the tree already) remove 80+80 MHz rate
   reporting since the spec doesn't distinguish it from 160 MHz;
   as the bitrate they're both 160 MHz bandwidth

<title>cfg80211: change bandwidth reporting to explicit field</title>

For some reason, we made the bandwidth separate flags, which
is rather confusing - a single rate cannot have different
bandwidths at the same time.

Change this to no longer be flags but use a separate field
for the bandwidth ('bw') instead.

While at it, add support for 5 and 10 MHz rates - these are
reported as regular legacy rates with their real bitrate,
but tagged as 5/10 now to make it easier to distinguish them.

In the nl80211 API, the flags are preserved, but the code
now can also clearly only set a single one of the flags.

These rates are treated the same as 160 MHz in the spec, so
it makes no sense to distinguish them. As no driver uses them
yet, this is also not a problem, just remove them.

In the userspace API the field remains reserved to preserve
API and ABI.

<title>cfg80211: 802.11p OCB mode handling</title>

This patch adds new iface type (NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB) representing
the OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode.
When establishing a connection to the network a cfg80211_join_ocb
function is called (particular nl80211_command is added as well).
A mandatory parameters during the ocb_join operation are 'center
frequency' and 'channel width (5/10 MHz)'.

Changes done in mac80211 are minimal possible required to avoid
many warnings (warning: enumeration value 'NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB'
not handled in switch) during compilation. Full functionality
(where needed) is added in the following patch.
