mac80211: adding mac80211_tx_control_flags and HT flags 



This patch makes enum from the defines previously dwelled inside
ieee80211_tx_control for better readability.
The patch also addes HT flags, for 802.11n drivers:
- IEEE80211_TXCTL_OFDM_HT: request low-level driver to use HT OFDM rates
- IEEE80211_TXCTL_GREEN_FIELD: use green field protection
- IEEE80211_TXCTL_DUP_DATA: duplicate data on both 20 Mhz channels
- IEEE80211_TXCTL_40_MHZ_WIDTH: send this frame in 40Mhz width
- IEEE80211_TXCTL_SHORT_GI: send this frame with short guard interval

Tx command can be a combination of any of these flags, along with
bitrate represented by ieee80211_rate. this will allow legacy drivers to
switch easily to any 11n rate representation.

/**

 * enum mac80211_tx_control_flags - flags to describe Tx configuration for

 * 				    the Tx frame

 *

 * These flags are used with the @flags member of &ieee80211_tx_control

 *

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_REQ_TX_STATUS: request TX status callback for this frame.

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_DO_NOT_ENCRYPT: send this frame without encryption;

 * 				    e.g., for EAPOL frame

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_USE_RTS_CTS: use RTS-CTS before sending frame

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_USE_CTS_PROTECT: use CTS protection for the frame (e.g.,

 * 				     for combined 802.11g / 802.11b networks)

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE

 * @EEE80211_TXCTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter

 *                                 for destination station

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_REQUEUE:

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT: this is a first fragment of the frame

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_LONG_RETRY_LIMIT: this frame should be send using the

 * 				      through set_retry_limit configured long

 * 				      retry value

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_EAPOL_FRAME: internal to mac80211

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM: send this frame after DTIM beacon

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_AMPDU: this frame should be sent as part of an A-MPDU

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_OFDM_HT: this frame can be sent in HT OFDM rates

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_GREEN_FIELD: use green field protection for this frame

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_40_MHZ_WIDTH: send this frame using 40 Mhz channel width

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_DUP_DATA: duplicate data frame on both 20 Mhz channels

 * @IEEE80211_TXCTL_SHORT_GI: send this frame using short guard interval
