The pull-push functionality of 10.4 will be based
on peer_id and tid. These will need to be mapped,
eventually, to ieee80211_txq to be used with
ieee80211_tx_dequeue().

Iterating over existing stations every time
peer_id needs to be mapped to a station would be
inefficient wrt CPU time.

The new firmware, which will be the only user of
the code flow-wise, will guarantee to use low
peer_ids first so despite peer_map's apparent huge
size d-cache thrashing should not be a problem.

Older firmware hot paths will effectively not use
peer_map.

Tx pending counter logic assumed that the sk_buff
is already known and hence was performed in HTT
functions themselves.

However, for the sake of future wake_tx_queue()
usage the driver must be able to tell whether it
can submit more frames to firmware before it
dequeues frame from ieee80211_txq (and thus long
before HTT Tx functions are called) because once a
frame is dequeued it cannot be requeud back to
mac80211.

This prepares the driver for future changes.

Frames are not guaranteed to be 802.11 frames in
ath10k_htt_tx() and the tx completion handler.
In some cases, like TDLS, they can be Ethernet.
Hence checking, e.g. frame_control could yield
bogus results and behavior.

Fortunately this wasn't a real problem so far
because there's no FW/HW combination to encounter
this problem.

However it is good to fix this in advance.

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.
