rt2x00 in-tree transition

[Ben Hutchings]

Now that Linux 2.6.24 is in unstable, it's time to consider removing the
separate rt2x00 package.  Here's a list of changes back to 2.0.10
showing what's in linux-2.6 (L) and rt2x00 (R) in unstable:

   [I think this should go in-tree.]
-- rt2x00: Fix tx parameter initialization
-- PATCH rt2x00: correct flag to request setting BSSID
-- rt2x00: don't write past the end when writing short descriptors on rt61

-- rt2x00: Store queue idx and entry idx in data_ring and data_entry
-- rt2x00: Only set the TBCN flag when the interface is configured to send beacons.

-- rt2x00: correct "skb_buff" typo

-- rt2x00: Add TX/RX frame dumping facility
-- rt2x00: Add skb descriptor
-- rt2x00: Add chipset version to chipset debugfs entry
-- rt2x00: Move register value/offset files into new folder
-- rt2x00: Extend PLCP descriptor definition for rt2400pci
-- rt2x00: Replace DRV_NAME with KBUILD_MODNAME
L- rt2x00: Allow rt61 to catch up after a missing tx report
   [This fixes #456804.]
L- rt2x00: Request usb_maxpacket() once
L- rt2x00: Block adhoc & master mode
-R rt2x00: Move duplicate code into rt2x00pci_txdone()
-R rt2x00: Release rt2x00 2.0.12
-R rt2x00: Correctly set ACK bit in tx descriptors
-R rt2x00: Place mutex around USB register access
   [I think this should go in-tree.]
-R rt2x00: Remove data_desc structure
-R rt2x00: Rework rt73 antenna selection
-R rt2x00: Remove unused variables
-R rt2x00: Rework rt61 antenna selection.
-R rt2x00: Unconstify rt2x00dev
-R rt2x00: Detect initial rfkill state on register
-R rt2x00: Input-polldev requires input device
-R rt2x00: Split rt61/rt73 antenna selection into RX and TX antenna
-R rt2x00: Disable RX when switching antenna
-R [PATCH] rt2x00: Release rt2x00 2.0.11
-R [PATCH] rt2x00: Fix antenna selection.
-R [PATCH] rt2x00: Cleanup if-statements
-R [PATCH] rt2x00: Implement SW diversity
-R [PATCH] rt2x00: Remove rt2x00_clear_link
-R [PATCH] rt2x00: SW diversity should default to antenna B
-R [PATCH] rt2x00: Correctly translate mac80211 antenna setup to rt2x00
-R [PATCH] rt2x00: Use enum defines
-R [PATCH] rt2x00: Move quality statistics into seperate structure
LR rt2x00: Fix chipset revision validation
LR [PATCH] rt2x00: jiffies_round -> jiffies_round_relative
LR [PATCH] rt2x00: Add new rt73usb USB ID
LR [PATCH] rt2x00: Fix residual check in PLCP calculations.
LR [PATCH] rt2x00: Release 2.0.10

Our package is nominally a higher version (2.0.12), but lacks some
important fixes.
