Multicast frames can't be transmitted as part of an aggregation
session (such a session couldn't even be set up) so don't try to
reorder them. Trying to do so would cause the reorder to stop
working correctly since multicast QoS frames (as transmitted by
the Aruba APs this was found with) would cause sequence number
confusion in the buffer.

<content type='text'>
Implement the required procedures for mesh channel switching as defined
in the IEEE Std 802.11-2012 section 10.9.8.4.3 and also handle the CSA
and MCSP elements as followed:
 * Add the function for updating the beacon and probe response frames
   with CSA and MCSP elements during the period of switching to the new
   channel. Both CSA and MCSP elements must be included in beacon and
   probe response frames until the intended channel switch time.
 * The ifmsh-&gt;csa_settings is set to NULL and the CSA and MCSP elements
   will then be removed from the beacon or probe response frames once the
   new channel is switched to.

<title>mac80211: support reporting A-MSDU subframes individually</title>

Some devices may not be able to report A-MSDUs in
single buffers. Drivers for such devices were
forced to re-assemble A-MSDUs which would then
be eventually disassembled by mac80211. This could
lead to CPU cache thrashing and poor performance.

Since A-MSDU has a single sequence number all
subframes share it. This was in conflict with
retransmission/duplication recovery
(IEEE802.11-2012: 9.3.2.10).

Patch introduces a new flag that is meant to be
set for all individually reported A-MSDU subframes
except the last one. This ensures the
last_seq_ctrl is updated after the last subframe
is processed. If an A-MSDU is actually a duplicate
transmission all reported subframes will be
properly discarded.

<title>mac80211: drop spoofed packets in ad-hoc mode</title>

If an Ad-Hoc node receives packets with the Cell ID or its own MAC
address as source address, it hits a WARN_ON in sta_info_insert_check()
With many packets, this can massively spam the logs. One way that this
can easily happen is through having Cisco APs in the area with rouge AP
detection and countermeasures enabled.
Such Cisco APs will regularly send fake beacons, disassoc and deauth
packets that trigger these warnings.

To fix this issue, drop such spoofed packets early in the rx path.

This function adds the channel switch announcement implementation for the
IBSS code. It is triggered by userspace (mac80211/cfg) or by external
channel switch announcement, which have to be adopted. Both CSAs in
beacons and action frames are supported. As for AP mode, the channel
switch is applied after some time. However in IBSS mode, the channel
switch IEs are generated in the kernel.
