For the networking code and for hardware network accelerators,
it is better to have IP header 4*n aligned. On the other side,
DMA on Rx path require buffer to be aligned on 4*n as well.
Having 14 bytes of Ethernet header, these 2 alignment
requests are in contradiction.
To solve this, order hardware offload block to not remove
SNAP header. This adds extra 6 bytes between addresses and
ethertype, making it 20 bytes total. This way, both buffer and
IP header are 4*n aligned. Remaining is only to remove SNAP
by shifting addresses 6 bytes. This involves data copying, so
this feature should be disabled unless required by the platform.
Module parameter "rx_align_2" (bool, default - false)
introduced to control this feature. Feature is completely disabled
when parameter is false.

802.11ad adds new a network type (PBSS) and changes the capability
field interpretation for the DMG (60G) band.
The same 2 bits that were interpreted as "ESS" and "IBSS" before are
re-used as a 2-bit field with 3 valid values (and 1 reserved). Valid
values are: "IBSS", "PBSS" (new) and "AP".
In order to get the BSS struct for the new PBSS networks, change the
cfg80211_get_bss() function to take a new enum ieee80211_bss_type
argument with the valid network types, as "capa_mask" and "capa_val"
no longer work correctly (the search must be band-aware now.)
The remaining bits in "capa_mask" and "capa_val" are used only for
privacy matching so replace those two with a privacy enum as well.

Add advanced interrupt moderation support available since "Sparrow B0".
Legacy interrupt moderation used only one counter to moderate tx, rx,
and misc interrupts.
Advanced interrupt moderation bypasses misc, and handles separately tx
and rx interrupts. In addition it has two timers for each interrupt type.
Max burst duration timer which defines how long to postpone interrupt after
first event (receive event for rx and tx complete event for tx), and
interframe timeout which defines how to determine the end of the burst and
issue interrupt even if the first timer still pending.
Capabilities flags in wil_priv is set on initialization according to
HW. The rest of the code checks for advanced interrupt capability bit
in capabilities flags field.
Debugfs is split accordingly: "legacy" interrupt moderation remains
unchanged, new debugs files added for advanced interrupt moderation
support.
Module params are aligned to support advanced interrupt moderation
(tx & rx). When not available (for legacy interrupt moderation) will
use only rx configuration; Tx configuration will be ignored in this
case.
