The firmware file-format is described in iwl-fw-file.h, while the
internal handling structures and functions are in iwl-fw.h.

Fix the separation between the files by moving file format
definitions to iwl-fw-file.h.

Also add a missing description for a kernel-doc member, and it's
not needed to include iwl-fw-file.h again from the code (thanks
to Liad Kaufman).

With a significant number of deployed APs, enabling uAPSD leads to the
AP never using aggregation sessions (likely due to the complexities
involved in handling uAPSD in those.) This obviously results in a large
drop in throughput with such APs.

On the other hand, uAPSD can result in some power consumption benefits,
but for now just disable it to get performance with affected APs back
up.

This allows to use the firmware monitor. This capability
uses a lot of contiguous memory (up to 64MB), so make its
usage module parameter dependent.

The driver will try to allocate as much contiguous memory
as possible downgrading its requirements until the
allocation succeeds.

Dump this data into the fw-error dump file when an error
happens.

We use the TLV flags as a handshake between the firmware
and the driver. These flags allow the firmware to advertise
its capabilities and API version.
Since we are running short of bits, we add a new
infrastructure which is more scalable, yet backward
compatible.

We make now the difference between API changes and the
capabilities. Both can have an index which allows to scale
at will.

Supporting 8K A-MSDU means that we need to allocate order 1
pages for every Rx packet. Even when there is no traffic.
This adds stress on the memory manager. The handling of
compound pages is also less trivial for the memory manager
and not using them will make the allocation code run faster
although I didn't really measure.
Eric also pointed out that having huge buffers with little
data in them is not very nice towards the TCP stack since
the truesize of the skb is huge. This doesn't allow TCP
to have a big Rx window.
See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2167711/ for details.

Note that very few vendors will actually send A-MSDU.

Instead of allocating one big chunk of DMA-coherent
memory for the firmware and keeping it around, only
vmalloc() the firmware and copy it into a single
page of DMA-coherent memory for the upload.

The advantage is that we don't need DMA memory for
the firmware image that is stored while the driver
is operating, we only need it while uploading.

This will make it easier for the driver to work if
the system has fragmented memory.
