[Make-wifi-fast] [RFC] ath9k: Measure per-station airtime usage

This is my attempt to add per-station airtime usage accounting to ath9k.
For now I just export it to a new debugfs entry, but my plan is to use
it to make (station) scheduling decisions. However, before attempting
that I would like some feedback from someone more familiar with the
ath9k than me as to whether this way of measuring airtime usage is
likely to give reasonable results.
I realise that there's probably some things I'm missing, but an initial
test run indicates that the values are at least in the right ballpark (I
get a total of ~170k usecs of measured airtime per 200 ms sampling
interval when running three simultaneous TCP streams to three different
stations).
So can anyone comment on whether I'm on the right track here? And
possibly provide some more detail as to what I'm missing and how to
remedy that?
Many thanks in advance,
-Toke
