Hello all,

This pull request is finally bigger than I expected, sorry.

It contains 2 main topics:
- Simplify handling of stations in power save mode. Most of the work
was redundant with mac80211. I have saved plenty of lines of code
by using the mac80211 API better.
- Continue to clearly separate hardware interface from the rest of
the driver. The biggest part of this clean-up is done. It is now
possible to look at the warning raised by sparse and fix
support for big endian hosts.

v2:
- Now it compiles (a last minute rebase did break the build).
