patch 1 expands counters and patch 2 uses this 64-bit counters for
the ath6kl - only easy to find driver with 64-bit counters.

With changes by Johannes, this patch need to be updated.
It becomes a bit smaller :) Patch follows. Please use this one.

In per-station statistics, present 32bit counters are too small
for practical purposes - with gigabit speeds, it get overlapped
every few seconds.
Expand counters in the struct station_info to be 64-bit.
Driver can still fill only 32-bit and indicate in @filled
only bits like STATION_INFO_[TR]X_BYTES; in case driver provides
full 64-bit counter, it should also set in @filled
bit STATION_INFO_[TR]RX_BYTES64
Netlink sends both 32-bit and 64-bit counters, if present, to not break
user space.

Ok Vladimir convinced me this was stupid because it breaks the current
userspace API in a subtle way: right now, if it rolls over, we will get
wrapped values in userspace, afterwards with a 64-bit compatible driver
we won't get any 32-bit value ...
I'll change it to this though, so drivers don't get this choice:
- if ((sinfo->filled & STATION_INFO_RX_BYTES) &&
+ if ((sinfo->filled & (STATION_INFO_RX_BYTES |
+ STATION_INFO_RX_BYTES64)) &&
nla_put_u32(msg, NL80211_STA_INFO_RX_BYTES,
- sinfo->rx_bytes))
+ (u32)sinfo->rx_bytes))
goto nla_put_failure;
- if ((sinfo->filled & STATION_INFO_TX_BYTES) &&
+ if ((sinfo->filled & (STATION_INFO_TX_BYTES |
+ NL80211_STA_INFO_TX_BYTES64)) &&
nla_put_u32(msg, NL80211_STA_INFO_TX_BYTES,
+ (u32)sinfo->tx_bytes))
+ goto nla_put_failure;
+ if ((sinfo->filled & STATION_INFO_RX_BYTES64) &&
+ nla_put_u64(msg, NL80211_STA_INFO_RX_BYTES64,
+ sinfo->rx_bytes))
+ goto nla_put_failure;
+ if ((sinfo->filled & STATION_INFO_TX_BYTES64) &&
+ nla_put_u64(msg, NL80211_STA_INFO_TX_BYTES64,
sinfo->tx_bytes))
goto nla_put_failure;
IOW, always put the 32-bit value even if the driver said it had 64-bit,
but then also give the 64-bit value to userspace.

John already applied this patch so I can skip it.
