This patch simplifies the tx code a bit and will be necessary for
the upcoming stlc45xx<->p54 port.
In detail: we no longer have to tell all back-end drivers directly,
if we want to free a frame right after it was send to the firmware,
or if we do it in the library callback later.

This patch moves a good chunk of code from the former statistic update
timer routine into a workqueue, which is kindly provided by mac80211.
Also as a nice side-effect we can lay the foundation for other

e.g:
- drain the (clogged) tx_queue.

Alan Stern found several flaws in p54usb's implementation and annotated:
"usb_kill_urb() and similar routines do not expect an URB's completion
routine to deallocate it. This is almost obvious -- if the URB is deallocated
before the completion routine returns then there's no way for usb_kill_urb
to detect when the URB actually is complete."
This patch addresses all known limitations in the old implementation and fixes
khub's "use-after-freed" hang, when SLUB debug's poisoning option is enabled.

bootrec, the array "data" is treated in many places as native CPU order, but
it may be little-endian everywhere. As far as I can tell, this driver has only
