wimax: headers for kernel API and user space interaction

Definitions for the user/kernel API protocol through generic
netlink. User space can copy it verbatim and use it.

Kernel API definition declares the main data types and calls for the
drivers to integrate into the WiMAX stack. Provides usage
documentation.

+ * enum wimax_st - The different states of a WiMAX device
+ * @__WIMAX_ST_NULL: The device structure has been allocated and zeroed,
+ *     but still wimax_dev_add() hasn't been called. There is no state.
+ *
+ * @WIMAX_ST_DOWN: The device has been registered with the WiMAX and
+ *     networking stacks, but it is not initialized (normally that is
+ *     done with 'ifconfig DEV up' [or equivalent], which can upload
+ *     firmware and enable communications with the device).
+ *     In this state, the device is powered down and using as less
+ *     power as possible.
+ *     This state is the default after a call to wimax_dev_add(). It
+ *     is ok to have drivers move directly to %WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED
+ *     or %WIMAX_ST_RADIO_OFF in _probe() after the call to
+ *     wimax_dev_add().
+ *     It is recommended that the driver leaves this state when
+ *     calling 'ifconfig DEV up' and enters it back on 'ifconfig DEV
+ *     down'.
+ *
+ * @__WIMAX_ST_QUIESCING: The device is being torn down, so no API
+ *     operations are allowed to proceed except the ones needed to
+ *     complete the device clean up process.
+ *
+ * @WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED: [optional] Communication with the device
+ *     is setup, but the device still requires some configuration
+ *     before being operational.
+ *     Some WiMAX API calls might work.
+ *
+ * @WIMAX_ST_RADIO_OFF: The device is fully up; radio is off (wether
+ *     by hardware or software switches).
+ *     It is recommended to always leave the device in this state
+ *     after initialization.
+ *
+ * @WIMAX_ST_READY: The device is fully up and radio is on.
+ *
+ * @WIMAX_ST_SCANNING: [optional] The device has been instructed to
+ *     scan. In this state, the device cannot be actively connected to
+ *     a network.
+ *
+ * @WIMAX_ST_CONNECTING: The device is connecting to a network. This
+ *     state exists because in some devices, the connect process can
+ *     include a number of negotiations between user space, kernel
+ *     space and the device. User space needs to know what the device
+ *     is doing. If the connect sequence in a device is atomic and
+ *     fast, the device can transition directly to CONNECTED
+ *
+ * @WIMAX_ST_CONNECTED: The device is connected to a network.
+ *
+ * @__WIMAX_ST_INVALID: This is an invalid state used to mark the
+ *     maximum numeric value of states.
+ *
+ * Description:
+ *
+ * Transitions from one state to another one are atomic and can only
+ * be caused in kernel space with wimax_state_change(). To read the
+ * state, use wimax_state_get().
+ *
+ * States starting with __ are internal and shall not be used or
+ * referred to by drivers or userspace. They look ugly, but that's the
+ * point -- if any use is made non-internal to the stack, it is easier
+ * to catch on review.
+ *
+ * All API operations [with well defined exceptions] will take the
+ * device mutex before starting and then check the state. If the state
+ * is %__WIMAX_ST_NULL, %WIMAX_ST_DOWN, %WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED or
+ * %__WIMAX_ST_QUIESCING, it will drop the lock and quit with
+ * -%EINVAL, -%ENOMEDIUM, -%ENOTCONN or -%ESHUTDOWN.
+ *
+ * The order of the definitions is important, so we can do numerical
+ * comparisons (eg: < %WIMAX_ST_RADIO_OFF means the device is not ready
+ * to operate).
+ */
+/*
+ * The allowed state transitions are described in the table below
+ * (states in rows can go to states in columns where there is an X):
