HTT Tx protocol uses arbitrary host assigned ids
too associate with MSDUs when delivering
completions.
Instead of rolling out own id generation scheme
use the tools provided in kernel.
This should have little to no effect on
performance.

In some cases hw recovery was taking an absurdly
long time due to ath10k waiting for things that
would never really complete.
Instead of waiting for inevitable timeouts poke
all completions and wakequeues and check if it's
still worth waiting.
Reading/writing ar->state requires conf_mutex.
Since waiters might be holding it introduce a new
flag CRASH_FLUSH so it's possible to tell waiters
to abort whatever they were waiting for.

Firmware doesn't perform Rx reordering so it is
left to the host driver to do that.
Use mac80211 to perform reordering instead of
re-inventing the wheel.
This fixes TCP throughput issues in some

It is inefficient to grab irqsave spinlocks for
skb lists for each queue/dequeue action.
Using rx_ring.lock and tx_lock allows to use less
heavy bh spinlock functions and moving locking
upwards allows to toggle spinlocks less often.

Going through full htc tx path for htt tx is a
waste of resources. By skipping it it's possible
to easily submit scatter-gather to the pci hif for
reduced host cpu load and improved performance.
The new approach uses dma pool to store the
following metadata for each tx request:
* msdu fragment list
* htc header
* htt tx command
The htt tx command contains a msdu prefetch.
Instead of copying it original mapped msdu address
is used to submit a second scatter-gather item to
hif to make a complete htt tx command.
The htt tx command itself hands over dma mapped
pointers to msdus and completion of the command
itself doesn't mean the frame has been sent and
can be unmapped/freed. This is why htc tx
completion is skipped for htt tx as all tx related
resources are freed upon htt tx completion
indication event (which also implicitly means htt
tx command itself was completed).
Since now each htt tx request effectively consists
of 2 copy engine items CE_HTT_H2T_MSG_SRC_NENTRIES
is updated to allow maximum of
TARGET_10X_NUM_MSDU_DESC msdus being queued. This
keeps the tx path resource management simple.

There's no real benefit from using them. DMA-API
already provides debugging. Some skbuffs are
already mapped directly with DMA-API since wrapper
arguments were insufficient and extending them
would be pointless.

HW reports each A-MSDU subframe as a separate
sk_buff. It is impossible to configure it to
behave differently.
Until now ath10k was reconstructing A-MSDUs from
subframes which involved a lot of memory
operations. This proved to be a significant
contributor to degraded RX performance.

Instead of allocating sk_buff for a mere 16-byte
tx fragment list buffer use headroom of the
original msdu sk_buff.
This decreases CPU cache pressure and improves
performance.

Until now the all MSDU transfer related structures
were freed when all resources were unreferenced.
Now HTC transfer is freed independently and HTT
transfer is so too.
This yields a way more simpler ath10k_skb_cb and
should possibly enable parallel pipe processing
(which is now serialized in
ath10k_pci_process_ce routine).

Here's a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac QCA98xx devices.
A major difference from ath9k is that there's now a firmware and
that's why we had to implement a new driver.
The wiki page for the driver is:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k
