The brcmsmac internal regulatory data is being used to determine whether
OFDM should be allowed, and this is only done once during
initialization. To be effective this needs to be checked against
mac80211's regulatory rules for the current channel.

brcmsmac implements enforcement of regulatory constraints internally,
using a Broadcom-specific world roaming domain named X2. Besides being
duplication of functionality this can also conflict with mac80211's
regulatory implementation, as mac80211 is unaware of the X2 domain and
thus might apply a more restrictive domain.
This patch is the first step in making brcmsmac cooperate with
mac80211's regulatory support. X2 is registered as a custom domain with
mac80211, so that at least both implementations will be enforcing the
same set of constraints. The internal enforcement of rules is kept for
now; this will be converted over to relying on mac80211 regulatory
enforcement in later patches.

Add the brcm80211 tree to drivers/net/wireless, and disable the version that's
in drivers/staging. This version includes the sources currently in staging,
plus any changes that have been sent out for review.
Sources in staging will be deleted in a followup patch.
