[PATCH] mac80211: regulatory domain cleanup
Currently, a function misnamed ieee80211_init_client() is used to handle
regulatory domain control. It is called from
ieee80211_register_hwmode(), which typically runs 2 or 3 times
(802.11a/b/g), but each time it iterates over all the modes.
This patch cleans this up and removes the confusion:
ieee80211_init_client was effectively renamed to
ieee80211_set_default_regdomain and is now run on a per-mode basis
(doesn't have to deal with netdevs). I also moved the regdomain handling
code into its own file and added some documentation.

+ * This regulatory domain control implementation is known to be incomplete
+ * and confusing. mac80211 regulatory domain control will be significantly
+ * reworked in the not-too-distant future.
+ *
+ * For now, drivers wishing to control which channels are and aren't available
+ * are advised as follows:
+ * - set the IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag
+ * - continue to include *ALL* possible channels in the modes registered
+ * through ieee80211_register_hwmode()
+ * - for each allowable ieee80211_channel structure registered in the above
+ * call, set the flag member to some meaningful value such as
+ * IEEE80211_CHAN_W_SCAN | IEEE80211_CHAN_W_ACTIVE_SCAN |
+ * IEEE80211_CHAN_W_IBSS.
+ * - leave flag as 0 for non-allowable channels
+ *
+ * The usual implementation is for a driver to read a device EEPROM to
+ * determine which regulatory domain it should be operating under, then
+ * looking up the allowable channels in a driver-local table, then performing
+ * the above.
