The 9000 series devices will support multi rx queues.
Current code has one static rx queue - change it to allocate
a number of queues per the device capability (pre-9000 devices
have the number of rx queues set to one).
Subsequent generalizations are:
Change the code to access an explicit numbered rx queue only
when the queue number is known - when handling interrupt, when
accessing the default queue and when iterating the queues.
The rest of the functions will receive the rx queue as a pointer.
Generalize the warning in allocation failure to consider the
allocator status instead of a single rx queue status.
Move the rx initial pool of memory buffers to be shared among
all the queues and allocated to the default queue on init.

When the Tx queues are full above a threshold, we
immediately stop the mac80211's queue to stop getting new
packets. This worked until TSO was enabled.
With TSO, one single packet from mac80211 can use many
descriptors since a large send needs to be split into
several segments.
This means that stopping mac80211's queues is not enough
and we also need to ensure that we don't overflow the Tx
queues with one single packet from mac80211.
Add code to transport layer to do just that. Stop
mac80211's queue as soon as the queue is full above the
same threshold as before, and keep pushing the current
packet along with its segments on the queue, but check
that we don't overflow. If that would happen, buffer the
segments, and send them when there is room in the Tx queue
again. Of course, we first need to send the buffered
segments and only then, wake up mac80211's queues.

When the op_mode sends an skb whose payload is bigger than
MSS, PCIe will create an A-MSDU out of it. PCIe assumes
that the skb that is coming from the op_mode can fit in one
A-MSDU. It is the op_mode's responsibility to make sure
that this guarantee holds.
Additional headers need to be built for the subframes.
The TSO core code takes care of the IP / TCP headers and
the driver takes care of the 802.11 subframe headers.
These headers are stored on a per-cpu page that is re-used
for all the packets handled on that same CPU. Each skb
holds a reference to that page and releases the page when
it is reclaimed. When the page gets full, it is released
and a new one is allocated.
Since any SKB that doesn't go through the fast-xmit path
of mac80211 will be segmented, we can assume here that the
packet is not WEP / TKIP and has a proper SNAP header.

Allow to configure the driver to pretend to have TX CSUM
offload support. This will be useful to test the TSO flows
that will come in further patches.
This configuration is disabled by default.

In certain flows (see next patches), the op_mode may need to
block the Tx queues for a short period. Provide an API for
that. The transport is in charge of counting the number of
times the queues are blocked since the op_mode may block the
queues several times in a row before unblocking them.

Transport code currently calls itself through the transport ops,
which is quite pointless. Clean up all of this. While at it,
remove the unnecessary dir argument and the redundant IDI code.
In slave transports, call both the common slave debugfs and the
transport's own. SDIO has no files, so remove it all there.

802.11ac allows A-MSDU that can be up to 12KB long. Since
an entire A-MSDU needs to fit into one single Receive
Buffer (RB), add support for big RBs.
Since this adds lots of pressure to the memory manager and
significantly increase the true_size of the RX buffers,
don't enable this by default.
