This patch fixes a few shortcomings in the tx path.

 * move temp. ampdu_[ack]_len out of txinfo->pad.

 * fix WARN_ON from tx.c:line 300 when tx_ampdu_queue
   fails to queue the frame.

 * In tx_prepare, we already have a local pointer
   to the station's ieee80211_sta struct.

 * remove a second !sta check, tx_prepare already takes
   care of that.

The current ath9k tx queue handling code showed a few issues that could
lead to locking issues, tx stalls due to stopped queues, and maybe even
DMA issues.

The main source of these issues is that in some places the queue is
selected via skb queue mapping in places where this mapping may no
longer be valid. One such place is when data frames are transmitted via
the CAB queue (for powersave buffered frames). This is made even worse
by a lookup WMM AC values from the assigned tx queue (which is
undefined for the CAB queue).

This messed up the pending frame counting, which in turn caused issues
with queues getting stopped, but not woken again.

To fix these issues, this patch removes an unnecessary abstraction
separating a driver internal queue number from the skb queue number
(not to be confused with the hardware queue number).

It seems that this abstraction may have been necessary because of tx
queue preinitialization from the initvals. This patch avoids breakage
here by pushing the software <-> hardware queue mapping to the function
that assigns the tx queues and redefining the WMM AC definitions to
match the numbers used by mac80211 (also affects ath9k_htc).

To ensure consistency wrt. pending frame count tracking, these counters
are moved to the ath_txq struct, updated with the txq lock held, but
only where the tx queue selected by the skb queue map actually matches
the tx queue used by the driver for the frame.

This patch fixes a possible lengthy stall if the device
is operating as an experimental 11n AP and an STA
[during heavy txrx action] suddenly signalized to go
off-channel (old NetworkManager), or (sleep - which is
unlikely, because then it wouldn't be *active* at all!?).

Because the driver has to manage the BA Window, the
sudden PSM transition can leave active uplink BA
sessions to the STA in a bad state and a proper
cleanup is needed.

We have seen several DMA races when we race against
stopping and starting the PCU. I suspect that when
we cannot stop the PCU we may hit some of these same
races so warn against them for now but only when
debugging (CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG) is enabled.

If you run into this warning and are a developer,
please fix the cause of the warning. The potential
here, although I cannot prove yet, is that the DMA
engine can be confused and start writing to a buffer
that was already DMA'd before and at least the kernel
assumes is not being accessed by hardware anymore.

Because all of the descriptor data structures are marked as __packed, GCC
assumes the worst case wrt. alignment and generates unaligned load/store
instructions on MIPS for access to all fields.
Since descriptors always have to be 4-byte-aligned, we can just mark the
data structures with __aligned(4), which allows GCC to generate much more
efficient code.

OProfile showed that ath9k was spending way too much time in
ath9k_hw_set_interrupts. Since most of the interrupt mask changes only
need to globally enable/disable interrupts, it makes sense to split
this part into separate functions, replacing all calls to
ath9k_hw_set_interrupts(ah, 0) with ath9k_hw_disable_interrupts(ah).

ath9k_hw_set_interrupts(ah, ah->imask) only gets changed to
ath9k_hw_enable_interrupts(ah), whenever ah->imask was not changed
since the point where interrupts were disabled.
