rtl8180 driver can handle also rtl8185 and rtl8187SE cards,
however in userspace tools (network manager) it still appares
as "rtl8180".
This might lead the user to think the wrong driver is in use.
This patch changes module name to "rtl818x_pci" that should be
more explanatory.

Implement a recv budget so that in cases of high traffic we still allow other
taskets to get processed.
Without this, we can encounter a host of issues during high wireless traffic
reception depending on system load including rcu stall's detected (ARM),
soft lockups, failure to service critical tasks such as watchdog resets,
and triggering of the tx stuck tasklet.
The same thing was proposed previously by Ben:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg112891.html
The only difference here is that I make sure only processed packets are counted
in the budget by checking at the end of the rx loop.

This patch enables Energy Based Scan (EBS) - intended to detect energy
on 5 GHz band channels. Passive scan on this band takes up to 2.64 sec
assuming 110mSec per-channel * 24 channels. EBS is designed to detect
energy on channels with intensive Wifi activity as well as those where
only beacons are transmitted. EBS completes sampling all channels within
shortest beacon frame transmission time. Total EBS duration is about 100
msec (typical beacon interval).
Detecting Wifi activity on 5 GHz band channels can significantly reduce
scan duration thus saving time and power. EBS failure reported by FW
disables EBS for current connection. It is re-enabled upon new
connection attempt on any WLAN interface.

Allow switching back to legacy Tx columns so we'll stop doing
HT/VHT in case we're far from the AP. Stop active aggregation when
making a deciding to stay in a legacy column.
Despite having low legacy rates in the LQ table lower entries
it doesn't help much in case we're doing aggregations as the
aggregation was being transmitted in the initial rate of the table.
This should help traffic stalls when far from the AP.

After being idle for a long time (>5sec) the rs statistics
will be stale so we prefer to reset rs and start from legacy
rates again. This gives better results when the attenuation
increased signficantly (e.g. we got further from the AP) and
after a while we start Tx
Note that the first Tx after the idle period will still go out
in the old modulation and rate but this seemed a simpler approach
compared to adding a timer or modifying mac80211 for this.
The negative impact is negligble as we'll recover quickly.
