Split the connectivity check and recovery routine into separated
functions based on the types
   1. iwl_good_ack_health() - check for ack count
   2. iwl_good_plcp_health() - check for plcp error

Based on the type of errors being detected, different recovery methods
will be used to bring the system back to normal operational state.

Because different NIC has different HW and uCode, the behavior is also
different; these functions thus now form part of the ops infrastructure,
so we can have more control on how to monitor and recover from error condition
case per device.

Monitors the tx statistics to detect the drop in throughput.
When the throughput drops, the ratio of the actual_ack_count and the
expected_ack_count also drops.  At the same time, the aggregated
ba_timeout (the number of ba timeout retries) also rises.  If the
actual_ack_count/expected_ack_count ratio is 0 and the number of ba
timeout retries rises to BA_TIMEOUT_MAX, no tx packets can be delivered.

Monitors the internal TX queues periodically.  When a queue is stuck
for some unknown conditions causing the throughput to drop and the
transfer is stop, the driver will force firmware reload and bring the

The iwlwifi devices behave differently in this regard so this feature is
made part of the ops infrastructure so we can have more control on how to

mac80211 recently implemented two new callbacks that are used to request
station add/remove from the driver. The benefot from these new callbacks
are that they enable the driver to sleep while performing this work.

This is a big patch since a few things need to be coordinated in this move.
First we need to decouple station management from rate scaling, which
caused a lot of code to be moved and/or deleted. Next we needed to tie in
with mac80211's station management callback and let it direct our station
management as well as trigger the rate scaling initialization.

Currently the broadcast station is added after every RXON command. Change
this to only add the broadcast station when interface is added by mac80211.
With this we need some extra work to ensure broadcast station is always
present since station table is cleared when RXON without ASSOC bit set is
sent. To deal with this we re-add all driver known stations to uCode after
such an RXON command is sent.

We also do some cleanup and remove the various calls to clear the station
table. We now only clear the station table in two scenarios:
- only clear uCode portion of station table when RXON command without ASSOC
bit is sent
- clear uCode and driver portion when interface goes down or is removed.

We need to do this clearing when interface goes down to deal with the
device restart/reconfigure routines which do not remove the interface, but
do add the interface during reconfiguration.

Previously the keys were also cleared when station table in driver is
cleared, this is not done anymore since mac80211 will take care that keys
are set and cleared correctly.

There is a known issue with this change. Associating with different AP
without bringing interface down fails with a firmware error. This is
because of the lack of full station notification support and the later
patches in this series that complete the station notification support will
fix this.

4965 hardware has 7 queues reserved and the
remaining ones used for aggregation, 5000
and higher need to have 10 reserved. This
is not very clear in the code right now,
unfortunately.

Introduce a new IWL_TX_FIFO_UNUSED constant
and make the queue/FIFO mapping arrays able
to hold that value, and change the setup
code to reserve all queues in the arrays
(the queue number is the index) and use the
new unused constant to not map those queues
to any FIFO.

Additionally, clear up the AC/queue mapping
code to be more understandable. The mapping
is the identity mapping right now, but with
the mapping function I think it's easier to
understand what happens there.

Finally, HCCA isn't implemented at all and
I think newer microcode removed it, so let's
remove all mention of it in the code, some
comments remain for 4965.

At the wireless summit in Portland we discussed a way of
loading firmware asynchronously from ->probe() before
registration to mac80211, in order to register with the
wireless subsystems with complete information in cases
where firmware is required to know parameters.

This is not yet the case in iwlwifi, but for some new
features we're working on it will be the case since
those will only be supported by new firmware images.

Hence, to start with, convert iwlwifi to load firmware
asynchronously from probe, unbinding the device when
firmware loading fails, and only registering with the
wireless subsystems after firmware has been loaded
successfully.

Future patches will hook into this to register the
new firmware capabilities, depending on the firmware
API version.

This reverts commit 1db5950f.

The goal of "iwlwifi: Monitor and recover the aggregation TX flow failure"
is to first detect when data transmission stalls and then to recover from
this situation with a reset of the radio or the firmware, depending on how
bad the transmission failures are.

Unfortunately we have found that this change causes excessive resets with
its current detection algorithm. It also performs its recovery action when
none is really needed, like when we are not associated.

Revert this change until the issues have been addressed.
