Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix initialisation when built-in

When mac80211 is built into the kernel it needs to init earlier
so that device registrations are run after it has initialised.
The same applies to rate control algorithms.

Subject: Re: [PATCH] mac80211: fix initialisation when built-in

I've tested that this patch, along with "[PATCH] cfg80211: fix
initialisation if built-in" fixes the initialization issues I was
seeing with the rt2x00 driver when built-in. Thanks Johannes!
