<content type='text'>
The old function rt2x00queue_payload_align() handled
both adding and removing L2 padding and some basic
frame alignment. The entire function was being abused
because it had multiple functions and the header length
argument was somtimes used to align the header instead
of the payload.

Additionally there was a bug when inserting L2 padding
that only the payload was aligned but not the header. This
happens when the header wasn't aligned properly by mac80211,
but rt2x00lib only moves the payload.

A secondary problem was that when removing L2 padding during
TXdone or RX the skb wasn't resized to the proper size.

Split the function into seperate functions each handling
its task as it should.

<title>rt2x00: Fix for race condition while update beacon</title>

The patch "Implement set_tim callback for all drivers" can cause kernel
oops in rt73usb_write_beacon. The oops is caused by one of the following
race conditions:
* In case of two near calls to set_tim: rt2x00lib_beacondone_iter is
cleaning the beacon skb, whereas rt73usb_write_beacon is still using it.
* In case of two near updates of beacon: first as the result of set_tim
and second as the result of a call from an application (e.g. hostapd).
This patch fixes the race condition by rearranging the update logic and
guarding rt2x00_intf-&gt;beacon-&gt;skb with a mutex.

Some hardware require the ieee80211 header to be aligned to a
4-byte boundary before mapping it to the DMA. Otherwise some
frames (like beacons) will not be send out correctly by the
device.

Check the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES flag to help determining
if the DMA queue should be kicked. At the moment this is combined
with the ieee80211_has_morefrags() but we might remove that later.

Some hardware require L2 padding between header and payload
because both must be aligned to a 4-byte boundary. This hardware
also is easier during the RX path since we no longer need to
move the entire payload but rather only the header to remove
the padding (mac80211 only wants the payload to be 4-byte aligned).

By placing the iv_len into the tx descriptor data and
by passing this data to the crypto IV handlers we can
save multiple calls to ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb()
and some if-statements when copying/removing the IV data
from the outgoing frame.

provide rt2x00lib the possibility to kill a particular TX queue.
This can be useful when disabling the radio, but more importantly
will allow beaconing to be disabled when mac80211 requests this
(during scanning for example)

The flag ENTRY_TXD_OFDM_RATE isn't flexible enough
to indicate which rate modulation should be used for
a frame. This will become a problem when 11n support
is added.

Remove the flag and replace it with an enum value which
can better indicate the exact rate modulation.
