New Revision: 265205
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/265205

Log:
  Add tracking for self-generated frames when the VAP is in sleep state.
  
  The hardware can generate its own frames (eg RTS/CTS exchanges, other
  kinds of 802.11 management stuff, especially when it comes to 802.11n)
  and these also have PWRMGT flags.  So if the VAP is asleep but the
  NIC is in force-awake for some reason, ensure that the self-generated
  frames have PWRMGT set to 1.
  
  Now, this (like basically everything to do with powersave) is still
  racy - the only way to guarantee that it's all actually consistent
  is to pause transmit and let it finish before transitioning the VAP
  to sleep, but this at least gets the basic method of tracking and
  updating the state debugged.
  
  Tested:
  
  * AR5416, STA mode
  * AR9380, STA mode
