rt2x00: Convert rt2x00 to use threaded interrupts
Use threaded interrupts for all rt2x00 PCI devices.
This has several generic advantages:
- Reduce the time we spend in hard irq context
- Use non-atmic mac80211 functions for rx/tx
Furthermore implementing broad- and multicast buffering will be
much easier in process context while maintaining low latency and
updating the beacon just before transmission (pre tbtt interrupt)
can also be done in process context.
