wimax: generic device management (registration, deregistration, lookup)

Implements the basic life cycles of a 'struct wimax_dev', some common
generic netlink functionality for marshalling calls to user space,
and the device state machine.

For looking up net devices based on their generic netlink family IDs,
use a low overhead method that optimizes for the case where most
systems have a single WiMAX device, or at most, a very low number of
WiMAX adaptors.

+ * We need a way to map family ID to a wimax_dev pointer.
+ *
+ * The idea is to use a very simple lookup. Using a netlink attribute

+ * we are looking for a WiMAX device and that most systems will have
+ * just a single WiMAX adapter.
+ *
+ * We put all the WiMAX devices in the system in a linked list and
+ * match the generic link family ID against the list.
+ *
+ * By using a linked list, the case of a single adapter in the system
+ * becomes (almost) no overhead, while still working for many more. If
+ * it ever goes beyond two, I'll be surprised.
