Definitions by which copy engine structure are
allocated do not change so it doesn't make much
sense to re-create those structures each time
device is booted (e.g. due to firmware recovery).

This should decrease chance of memory allocation
failures.

While at it remove per_transfer_context pointer
indirection. The array has been trailing the copy
engine ringbuffer structure anyway. This also
saves pointer size worth of bytes for each copy
engine ringbuffer.

Going through full htc tx path for htt tx is a
waste of resources. By skipping it it's possible
to easily submit scatter-gather to the pci hif for
reduced host cpu load and improved performance.

The new approach uses dma pool to store the
following metadata for each tx request:
 * msdu fragment list
 * htc header
 * htt tx command

The htt tx command contains a msdu prefetch.
Instead of copying it original mapped msdu address
is used to submit a second scatter-gather item to
hif to make a complete htt tx command.

The htt tx command itself hands over dma mapped
pointers to msdus and completion of the command
itself doesn't mean the frame has been sent and
can be unmapped/freed. This is why htc tx
completion is skipped for htt tx as all tx related
resources are freed upon htt tx completion
indication event (which also implicitly means htt
tx command itself was completed).

Since now each htt tx request effectively consists
of 2 copy engine items CE_HTT_H2T_MSG_SRC_NENTRIES
is updated to allow maximum of
TARGET_10X_NUM_MSDU_DESC msdus being queued. This
keeps the tx path resource management simple.

PCI is capable of handling scatter-gather lists.
This can be used to avoid copying memory.

Change the name of the callback while at to
reflect its purpose.

It's impossible to rely on disable_irq() and/or CE
interrupt masking with legacy shared interrupts.
Other devices sharing the same irq line may assert
it while ath10k is doing something that requires
no interrupts.

Irq handlers are now registered after all
preparations are complete so spurious/foreign
interrupts won't do any harm. The handlers are
unregistered when no interrupts are required (i.e.
during driver teardown).

This also removes the ability to receive FW early
indication (since interrupts are not registered
until early boot is complete). This is not mission
critical (it's more of a hint that early boot
failed due to unexpected FW crash) and will be
re-added in a follow up patch.

This patch moves irq registering after necessary
structures have been allocated and initialized.
This should prevent interrupts from causing
tasklet access invalid memory pointers.

struct ce_sendlist is useless as we always add just one buffer onto it.
And most importantly, it's ugly as it doesn't use skb properly.

The double while() could end up running forever.
Inner while() would complete very fast. However
the completion processing could take enough time
for more completions to flow in. In that case the
outer while() would not terminate and run again,
and again. This could happen especially on a slow
host system.

This could lead to a system freeze during heavy
traffic. Note: this doesn't solve all known
starvation issues yet.

Here's a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac QCA98xx devices.
A major difference from ath9k is that there's now a firmware and
that's why we had to implement a new driver.

The wiki page for the driver is:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k

The driver has had many authors, they are listed here alphabetically:
