Currently, ampdu stream is created on the first qos packet to an
HT sta. The overhead of setting up the BA session may not be
justified if the outgoing packet rate is minimal (e.g., ping). So
we only allow ampdu streams after seeing a critical number of
packets in an arbitrary one-second interval.

We do not need to enable all the interrupts in mwl8k_probe_hw.
We need to enable only MWL8K_A2H_INT_OPC_DONE interrupt for sending
commands to the firmware. Keep the other interrupts masked in
mwl8k_probe_hw. Also, in mwl8k_start, where we expect other interrupts,
enable only those interrupts we are interested in.

When the mwl8k driver attempts and fails to switch from sta to ap
firmware (or vice-versa) in the mwl8k_add_interface routine, the
mwl8k_stop routine will be called. This routine must not attempt
to free the irq if it was not requested.

When an ampdu stream is on, if the firmware rate adaptation
logic decides that the outgoing packet rate to the station needs
to go below 6.5Mbps (non HT rate), it sends an event indicating that
the ampdu stream needs to be destroyed. Handle this event in the driver
and destroy the ampdu stream so that the rate can go below 6.5Mbps

Specifically, handle ampdu_action and attempt to start a BA
session on receiving the first qos packet from mac80211 for
transmission to a HT sta. While the BA session is being created,
all the packets belonging to that stream will be dropped to
prevent sequence number mismatch at the recipient.

We now have two different kinds of queues. And the number of
AMPDU queues may vary. So we must be clear about which queues we
are dealing with. Note that when we report the number of queues
to mac80211, we only report the WMM queues.

Firmware APIv2 adds the following enhancements:
-- capabilities are reported by the firmware
-- API supports up to 8 dedicated AMPDU streams
-- optional packet timestamping and expiration can be enabled.
Specifically, packets that are queued in firmware for longer
than 500ms will be dropped if this option is used.

Specifically, APIv2 will specify a variable number of AMPDU
queues in the MWL8K_CMD_GET_HW_SPEC. So init the tx queues after
MWL8K_CMD_GET_HW_SPEC for ap fw.
Also, we make it safe to deinit queues that have not been init'd.
This happens if the mwl8k_get_hw_spec_ap routine fails, for
example.

The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).
Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.
Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.

Extend channel to frequency mapping for 802.11j Japan 4.9GHz band, according to
IEEE802.11 section 17.3.8.3.2 and Annex J. Because there are now overlapping
channel numbers in the 2GHz and 5GHz band we can't map from channel to
frequency without knowing the band. This is no problem as in most contexts we
know the band. In places where we don't know the band (and WEXT compatibility)
we assume the 2GHz band for channels below 14.
This patch does not implement all channel to frequency mappings defined in
802.11, it's just an extension for 802.11j 20MHz channels. 5MHz and 10MHz
channels as well as 802.11y channels have been omitted.
The following drivers have been updated to reflect the API changes:
iwl-3945, iwl-agn, iwmc3200wifi, libertas, mwl8k, rt2x00, wl1251, wl12xx.

The aggregation code currently doesn't implement the
buffer size negotiation. It will always request a max
buffer size (which is fine, if a little pointless, as
the mac80211 code doesn't know and might just use 0
instead), but if the peer requests a smaller size it
isn't possible to honour this request.
In order to fix this, look at the buffer size in the
addBA response frame, keep track of it and pass it to
the driver in the ampdu_action callback when called
with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL action. That
way the driver can limit the number of subframes in
aggregates appropriately.
Note that this doesn't fix any drivers apart from the
addition of the new argument -- they all need to be
updated separately to use this variable!

The mwl8k can operate in AP or STA mode, depending on the
firmware image that is loaded. By default, STA firmware is
loaded. Allow the user to override this default mode at
module load time. This saves an unnecessary firmware reload
for users only interested in AP mode.
Also, the firmware image can be swapped to meet the user's
add_interface request. For example, suppose the STA
firmware is loaded, no STA interface has been added, and the
user adds an AP interface. In this case, the AP firmware
will be loaded to meet the request.
