kernel/ral: Bring in support for further chips (RT2700/2800/3090 series).

Unfortunately I don't have any hardware to test and no one volunteered
when I asked on the lists. Pushing anyway because it shouldn't break
RT2500/2501/2600 support. We'll see if someone reports issues with
it.

Initial import of binutils 2.22 on the new vendor branch

Future versions of binutils will also reside on this branch rather
than continuing to create new binutils branches for each new version.

Nuke old TX rate control algorithm coming with ral(4).

- Define 802.11 modulation types as 'enum ieee80211_modtype'.
- Expose ieee80211_rate2modtype() for pubic use.
- Add definition for DIFS, slot time and contention window.
- Add addition field in TX r

- Define 802.11 modulation types as 'enum ieee80211_modtype'.
- Expose ieee80211_rate2modtype() for pubic use.
- Add definition for DIFS, slot time and contention window.
- Add addition field in TX rate control state structure, so drivers can
give hints to TX rate control algorithms about their capabilities.
- Add Sample TX rate control support:
http://www.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/papers/jbicket-ms.pdf
It is factored out and adapted from the one in ath(4).
- In ieee80211_ratectl.h, expose only IEEE80211_RATECTL_{ONOE,AMRR,SAMPLE}
for user space program.
- Teach ifconfig(8) to show and set Sample TX rate control algorithm.
- Fix a node leakage on rt2560_tx_mgt() error handling path.
- Support Onoe and Sample TX rate control algorithm in 2560 part of
ral(4), and use Sample TX rate control algorithm as the default TX
rate control algorithm. [*]
- Make ral(4) depend on wlan_ratectl_{onoe,sample}.
- Hook Sample TX rate control algorithm into GENERIC and LINT.

# [*]
# If Sample TX rate control algorithm is used, I get almost 100~200%
# UDP_STREAM netperf TX performance boost than the original TX rate
# control algorithm in open/noisy enviroments, and +200~500Kbits/s
# UDP_STREAM netperf TX performance boost under good conditions.

For RT2500:
- Fix a ieee80211_node leakage
- Due to the inter-dependency nature of DONE/(ENCRYPT|DECRYPT) intr, reap desc
rings twice if one of them comes. This change gives me ~17.6% TX performance
boost on my ASUS WL-107G (WPA is used here):
