Unfortunately failed BAR tx attempts happen more frequently than I
expected, and the resulting aggregation teardowns cause performance
issues, as the aggregation session does not always get re-established
properly.
Instead of tearing down the entire aggr session, we can simply store the
SSN of the last failed BAR tx attempt, wait for the first successful
tx status event, and then send another BAR with the same SSN.

Under failure conditions, the mesh stack sends PERR messages to the
previous sender of the failed frame.  This happens in the tx feedback
path, in which the transmission queue lock may be taken.  Avoid a
deadlock by sending the path error via the pending queue.

With sequence number and buffer allocation deferred to when they're needed
for the first time, it becomes much easier to start dropping packets from

The recent commit "ath9k: Send legacy rated frames as unaggregated"
introduced a check to ensure that packets with non-MCS rates set in
the rate series will not be aggregated. However, it failed to check
if the rate series is valid before testing the flags, thus breaking
aggregation for normal MCS-only packets if the last series is unset.

When 64-bit DMA was first used, there were problems with the
BCM4311 (14e4:4311). The problem was "fixed" by using the GFP_DMA
flag in the allocation of coherent ring descriptor memory.

The original problem is now believed to have been due to bugs in
the 64-bit DMA implementation in the rest of the kernel, and that
those bugs have been fixed. Accordingly, the requirement for the
descriptors to be in the DMA zone is relaxed.

Bounce buffers are left in the DMA zone.

This logic is responsible to tell mac80211 when the HW queues are
empty and the BA session can be started / torn down.

Fix a bug on the way:
When the the Tx BA session is stopped and the HW queues aren't empty,
we stop the SW queue to drain the HW queue and then switch to the
legacy HW queue. This is the IWL_EMPTYING_HW_QUEUE_DELBA state.

While in this state, we never wake the SW queue, even when the HW
queue is almost empty, since we need to drain it completely. Look
at iwl_trans_pcie_reclaim regarding this.

Once the HW queue is really empty, we must wake the SW queue in order
to get traffic to the legacy queue.
This step was missing leading to an odd situation were the traffic
would just stall after we tore down a Tx BA session while the HW
queue was not empty.

the mapping tx_queue -> fifo is really transport related. The upper
layer should be involved in such things.

Note that upon agg_disable, the queue is always mapped to fifo 0, but
this doesn't matter since when the queue will be setup again for a
