Cover letter [RFC][PATCH 0/4] mac80211: rate control rework
This patch set does some general maintenance at the rate control front, adds the PID algorithm, makes it the default and removes the old simple algorihtm. Note that it is WIP, I'm sending it to get comments and to sync my PID work with Stefano.
Other things I plan to do but not yet in the patches are:
* Change the get_rate() interface to remove the local pointer (can be obtained from the netdev)
* track wich packets actually use a rate assigned by the rate control (maybe add a flag to tx control) and only pass them pack to the rate control for evaluation. Or at least give the rate control tx_status() the information whether the frame was sent with a rate obtained from the rate control algo.
