Log:
[net80211] begin laying the groundwork for drivers to do their own sequence
number management.
I added IEEE80211_TX_LOCK() a few years ago because there were races between
seqno allocation, driver queuing and crypto IV allocation. This meant that
they'd appear out of sequence and the receiver would drop them, leading to
terrible performance or flat out traffic hangs.
This flag should be set by drivers that do their own sequence number
allocation for all frames it needs to happen for, including beacon frames.
Eventually this should lead to the driver taking care of locking for
allocating seqno and other traffic-triggered events (eg addba setup.)
