The last_phy_res[100] variable is used in an odd
way. The first byte of it is used as a flag, and
the rest as the data. Thus, the array need only
be 61 bytes, since it is just the flag and a
struct iwl_rx_phy_res (which is 60 bytes).
Clean this up by splitting the variable into two:
last_phy_res and last_phy_res_valid, using correct
types for both (struct and bool). While doing all
this also move the variables to the _agn part of
the hw-specific union since they only apply 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.

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 1db5950f1d.
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.
