tx_triglevel_max is global, move it to ath_rate_node.
Now that ath_rate_softc is gone, rate control attach becomes simpler.

Make the DMAable mameory consistent with pci_set_consistent_dma_mask().
The DMA-mapping.txt Documentation recommends this but for PCI-X
considerations and on strange architecture like SGI SN2, not sure

Race condition causes RX buffers to be accessed even before it is
initialized. The RX and TX buffers are initialized immediately after
the hardware is registered with mac80211. The mac80211 start callback
is ready to be fired once the device is registered for a case when the
wpa_supplicant is also running at the same time.
The same race condition is also possible for RKFILL registration
as RFKILL init happens after the device registration with mac80211
and it is possible that rfkill_register would be called even before
it is initialized.
