Hi,

Based on the IRC discussions I started implementing the required bits 
for handling DFS states and channel flags in cfg/mac80211 and userspace. 
This is WIP, so not really complete, just wanted to get that out so we 
have something to discuss about on tomorrows meeting.

Implemented so far is the complete state machine, handling CAC and NOL 
as well as starting appropriate action in hostapd. Note, this is based 
on top of the 'dfs region support' work posted by Luis.

TODO:
- Documentation
- CSA
- unset beacon on CAC
- unset beacon if interference is detected
- prevent beacon from being set if channel is !CLEAR
- prevent frames from being sent if channel is !CLEAR
  A few bits are already there, but by far not complete, e.g. we
  discard auth responses but allow probe responses and deauth frames.
