Since the driver split, there's no need for no_agg_framecnt_info since
all devices have this set to false. Secondly, the compressed block ack
handling code was broken. Fix this.
(1) A shift less than zero simply implies that the buffer wrapped, this
is expected. Remove the incorrect comment.
(2) The (agg->frame_count > (64-sh)) condition can happen if the last
frame is dropped. E.g., if I send 7 frames and the 6th is received but
the 7th is lost, the other side may only shift the window 6, not 7
frames since the last bit is a 0. This is perfectly fine behavior and
doesn't invalidate the feedback.
(3) Store the feedback from a Compressed BA in the first newly received
frame, rather than the start of the window. This way it will get
processed by the rate selection code. Feedback stored in a non-received
frame is likely to get overwritten by the retransmission.
This is based on the approach taken by minstrel_ht.

Since aggregation queues are station-specific, the
device will not reject packets in them but rather
will stop the appropriate aggregation queues when
a station goes to sleep. I forgot to account for
this in the driver, so if a station went to sleep
that had aggregation enabled, traffic would stop
indefinitely.
Fix this by only accounting frames queued on the
normal AC queues for associated station.

Timing issues in microcode for some devices can cause a compressed BA to
be sent to the driver prior to returning any a-MPDU notification.
Traces show RTS-CTS is exchanged and then the timer fires which causes an
empty BA to be sent which acknowledges nothing. This results in a noisy
printk. Only print the message if the bitmap is non-zero.

Adding the bluetooth full concurrency support for WiFi/BT combo devices.
Driver should configure uCode to operate in "full concurrency" mode (via
LUT) if both conditions are met:
- Antenna Coupling is more than 35dB
- WiFi Channel Inhibition Request is hornored by BT Core
Currently, there is no antenna coupling information provided by uCode;
use module parameter to specified the antenna coupling in dB.
When in "full concurrency" mode, driver need to download different LUT
to uCode while sending bt configuration command; also, driver need to
configure the device operate in 1x1 while in full concurrency mode.

Currently the driver will try to protect all frames,
which leads to a lot of odd things like sending an
RTS with a zeroed RA before multicast frames, which
is clearly bogus.
In order to fix all of this, we need to take a step
back and see what we need to achieve:
* we need RTS/CTS protection if requested by
the AP for the BSS, mac80211 tells us this
* in that case, CTS-to-self should only be
enabled when mac80211 tells us
* additionally, as a hardware workaround, on
some devices we have to protect aggregated
frames with RTS
To achieve the first two items, set up the RXON
accordingly and set the protection required flag
in the transmit command when mac80211 requests
protection for the frame.
To achieve the last item, set the rate-control
RTS-requested flag for all stations that we have
aggregation sessions with, and set the protection
required flag when sending aggregated frames (on
those devices where this is required).
Since otherwise bugs can occur, do not allow the
user to override the RTS-for-aggregation setting
from sysfs any more.
Finally, also clean up the way all these flags get
set in the driver and move everything into the
device-specific functions.

The flow id (scd_flow) in a compressed BA packet should match the txq_id
of the queue from which the aggregated packets were sent. However, in
some hardware like the 1000 series, sometimes the flow id is 0 for the
txq_id (10 to 19). This can cause the annoying message:
[ 2213.306191] iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Received BA when not expected

index 5, is out of range [0-256] 7 7.
And even worse, if agg->wait_for_ba is true when the bad BA is arriving,
this can cause system hang due to NULL pointer dereference because the
code is operating in a wrong tx queue!

Compressed BlockAck frames store the ACKs/NACKs in a 64-bit bitmap that starts
at the sequence number of the first frame sent in the aggregated batch. Note
that this is a selective ACKnowledgement following selective retransmission;
e.g., if frames 1,4-5 in a batch are ACKed then the next transmission will
include frames 2-3,6-10 (7 frames). In this latter case, the Compressed
BlockAck will not have all meaningful information in the low order bits -- the
semantically meaningful bits of the BA will be 0x1f3 (where the low-order frame
is seq 2).
The driver code originally just looked at the lower (in this case, 7) bits of
the BlockAck. In this case, the lower 7 bits of 0x1f3 => only 5 packets,
maximum, could ever be ACKed. In reality it should be looking at all of the
bits, filtered by those corresponding to packets that were actually sent. This
flaw meant that the number of correctly ACked packets could be significantly
underreported and might result in asynchronous state between TX and RX sides as
well as driver and uCode.
Fix this and also add a shortcut that doesn't require the code to loop through
all 64 bits of the bitmap but rather stops when no higher packets are ACKed.
In my experiments this fix greatly reduces throughput swing, making throughput
stable and high. It is also likely related to some of the stalls observed in
aggregation mode and maybe some of the buffer underruns observed, e.g.,

Currently, the driver allocates up to 19 skb pointers
for each TFD, of which we have 256 per queue. This
means that for each TX queue, we allocate 19k/38k
(an order 4 or 5 allocation on 32/64 bit respectively)
just for each queue's "txb" array, which contains only
the SKB pointers.
However, due to the way we use these pointers only the
first one can ever be assigned. When the driver was
initially written, the idea was that it could be
passed multiple SKBs for each TFD and attach all
those to implement gather DMA. However, due to
constraints in the userspace API and lack of TCP/IP
level checksumming in the device, this is in fact not
possible. And even if it were, the SKBs would be
chained, and we wouldn't need to keep pointers to
each anyway.
Change this to only keep track of one SKB per TFD,
and thereby reduce memory consumption to just one
pointer per TFD, which is an order 0 allocation per
transmit queue.

Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: use the DMA state API instead of the pci equivalents
This replace the PCI DMA state API (include/linux/pci-dma.h) with the
DMA equivalents since the PCI DMA state API will be obsolete.
No functional change.
