It is obviously good for userspace to know up front which
interface modes a given piece of hardware might support (even
if adding such an interface might fail later because of
concurrency issues), so let's make cfg80211 aware of that.
For good measure, disallow adding interfaces in all other
modes so drivers don't forget to announce support for one mode
when they add it.

This v4 patch incorporates the ACK'd version of the changes by Ivo.
It also applies *before* the new regulatory infrastructure patches.
And it also adds Mesh interface mode support to ath5k, which I failed
to see it was added recently. Thanks to Andrey Yurovsky for spotting
this.
