The mac80211 patch to pass the NAPI struct only changed iwlwifi to
store the NAPI struct, but we can do better: pass it directly from
the lower transport layer to the opmode during RX, and then on to
mac80211 from there.
When we add multiple RX queues, we can then pass the appropriate
NAPI struct properly.

TCP software implementation on the host requires extensive computing
power. Offloading even some of the TCP/IP stack to the NIC might save
a significant overhead. In order to enable this feature on our hw,
we need to configure it first. Once done, we mark this capability,
to be advertised later to the OS via ieee80211_register_hw.
The driver Rx indications for TCP Checksum is integrated within the
standard Rx status. The driver responds to those indications as follows:
If the frame was tested by hw and checksum ok report CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
Otherwise, report CHECKSUM_NONE.

When introducing multiple RX queues, a single NAPI struct will not
be sufficient. Instead of trying to store multiple, simply change
the API to have the NAPI struct passed to the RX function. This of
course means that drivers using rx_irqsafe() cannot use NAPI, but
that seems a reasonable trade-off, particularly since only two of
all drivers are currently using it at all.
While at it, we can now remove the IEEE80211_RX_REORDER_TIMER flag
again since this code path cannot have a napi struct anyway.

Currently, loading the firmware fails when it has higher API or CAPA
bits than the driver supports. That's an issue with integration.
At the same time, actually using api[0] and capa[0] will become
confusing when we also have api[1] and capa[1], and it's almost
certain that we'll mix up the bits and use the bits for api[1] with
api[0] by accident.
Avoid all this by translating the API/CAPA bits to the regular kernel
test_bit() format, and also providing wrapper functions. Also use the
__bitwise__ facility of sparse to check that we're testing the right
one.

The current code has a lot of duplicates of printing into a buffer
(while having to make sure it's NUL-filled and -terminated) and
then passing that to the debug trigger collection.
Since that's error-prone, instead make the debug trigger collection
function take a format string and format arguments (with compiler
validity checking) and handle the buffer internally.
This makes one behavioural change -- instead of sending the whole
buffer to userspace (clearing is needed to not leak stack data) it
just passes the actual string (including NUL-terminator.)

This scenario may result in packet loss, since the transmission may start

potential packet loss disable tx to all the stations when the channel

Use the new NAPI infrastructure added to mac80211 to get
GRO. We don't really implement NAPI since we don't have
a real poll function and we never schedule a NAPI poll.
Instead of this, we collect all the packets we got from a
single interrupt and then call napi_gro_flush().
This allows us to benefit from GRO. In half duplex medium
like WiFi, its main advantage is that it reduces the number
of TCP Acks, hence improving the TCP Rx performance.
Since we call the Rx path with a spinlock held, remove
the might_sleep mention from the op_mode's API.

Note that the TX path obviously still runs in a
tasklet, so some spin_lock() calls need to change
to spin_lock_bh() calls to properly lock out the
TX path.
In my test on a Calpella platform this has no
impact on throughput or latency.
