Remove iwl_transport_register which was a W/A. The bus layer knows what
transport to use. So now, the bus layer gives the upper layer a pointer to the
iwl_trans_ops struct that it wants to use. The upper layer then, allocates the
desired transport layer using iwl_trans_ops->alloc function.
As a result of this, priv->trans, no longer exists, priv holds a pointer to
iwl_shared, which holds a pointer to iwl_trans. This required to change all the
calls to the transport layer from upper layer. While we were at it, trans_X
inlines have been renamed to iwl_trans_X to avoid confusions, which of course
required to rename the functions inside the transport layer because of
conflicts in names. So the static API functions inside the transport layer
implementation have been renamed to iwl_trans_pcie_X.
Until now, the IRQ / Tasklet were initialized in iwl_transport_layer. This is
confusing since the registration doesn't mean to request IRQ, so I added a
handler for that.

Sometimes, when mac80211 changes the beacon

WiFi throughput drops drastically when BT is turned on, BT and WiFi
are simultaneously transmitting/receiving traffic. This is particularly true
when BT has higher priority over WiFi, and hence the device defers TX frames.
The AP assumes that the channel is bad and reduces the data rate, implying
longer airtime, which exacerbates the problem further, resulting ultimately
in what is popularly called the "death-spiral" phenomenon. The use of PS-poll
in such scenarios guarantees a low but consistent throughput.
Since the death-spiral phenomenon is observed only when the RSSI is low, use
PS-poll only when RSSI is low and disable when high, with a known hysterisis.
This feature specifies the high and low thresholds and implements the
callbacks registered with mac80211, which will be called when threshold events
occur.

This patch fixes 802.11n stability and performance regression we have
since 2.6.35. It boost performance on my 5GHz N-only network from about
5MB/s to 8MB/s. Similar percentage boost can be observed on 2.4 GHz.
These are test results of 5x downloading of approximately 700MB iso
image:
vanilla: 5.27 5.22 4.94 4.47 5.31 ; avr 5.0420 std 0.35110
patched: 8.07 7.95 8.06 7.99 7.96 ; avr 8.0060 std 0.055946
This was achieved with NetworkManager configured to do not perform
periodical scans, by configuring constant BSSID. With periodical scans,
after some time, performance downgrade to unpatched driver level, like
in example below:
patched: 7.40 7.61 4.28 4.37 4.80 avr 5.6920 std 1.6683
However patch still make better here, since similar test on unpatched
driver make link disconnects with below messages after some time:
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 1)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 2)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 3)
wlan1: authentication with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f timed out
On 2.6.35 kernel patch helps against connection hangs with messages:

The microcode may sometimes reject TX frames when
on a radar channel even after we associated as it
clears information during association and needs to
receive a new beacon before allowing that channel
again. This manifests itself as a TX status value
of TX_STATUS_FAIL_PASSIVE_NO_RX. So in this case,
stop the corresponding queue and give the frame
back to mac80211 for retransmission. We start the
queue again when a beacon from the AP is received
which will make the regulatory enforcement in the
device allow transmitting again.
