Currently, the driver only disable multicast filtering when the
FIF_ALLMULTI driver flag has been just set (ie,
if changed_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI and *new_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI) or else
it will reenable multicast filtering.

But next time, this condition will be false and multicast filtering
will be reenabled, even through FIF_ALLMULTI is still set.

This mean that allmulticast only works for less than two minutes in
ad-hoc mode.  This patch fixes that to disable multicast filtering
as long as FIF_ALLMULTI is set.

Some clients seem to rely upon the reception of BlockAckReqs to flush
their rx reorder buffer. In order to fix aggregation for these clients
carl9170 should set IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK to generate a
BlockAckReq if the transmission of an AMPDU subframe fails.

This fixes aggregation problems with Intel 5100 Windows STAs (and maybe
others as well).

"mac80211 will properly assign sequence numbers to QoS-data
frames but cannot do so correctly for non-QoS-data and

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!

RX Stress tests of unidirectional bulk traffic with
bitrates of up to 220Mbit/s have revealed that the
fatal-event recovery logic [which was solely triggered
by an out-of-rx-buffer situation] is too aggressive.

The new method now "pings" the device and then
decides - based on the response - whenever
a restart is needed or not.

The hardware rx-filter was essentially disabled, because
of a serve, yet unidentifiable problem with iwlagn.
Due to these circumstances the driver and mac80211 were
left with the job of filtering.

This is very unfortunate and has proven to be expensive
in terms of latency, memory and load.

Therefore the new 1.8.8.3 firmware introduces a flexible
filtering infrastructure which allows the driver to
offload some of the checks (FCS & PLCP crc check,
RA match, control frame filter, etc...) whenever possible.

Note:
This patch also includes all changes to the
shared headers files since the inclusion.

tx_ampdu_upload was not decreased when an a-MPDU
frame had to be kicked out from the tx_pending
queues.

This broke ampdu aggregation, because the scheduler
waits until tx_ampdu_upload drops to zero, before
