464021ffc1 iwlagn: move the check_empty logic to the transport layer
This logic is responsible to tell mac80211 when the HW queues are
empty and the BA session can be started / torn down.

Fix a bug on the way:
When the the Tx BA session is stopped and the HW queues aren't empty,
we stop the SW queue to drain the HW queue and then switch to the
legacy HW queue. This is the IWL_EMPTYING_HW_QUEUE_DELBA state.

While in this state, we never wake the SW queue, even when the HW
queue is almost empty, since we need to drain it completely. Look
at iwl_trans_pcie_reclaim regarding this.

Once the HW queue is really empty, we must wake the SW queue in order
to get traffic to the legacy queue.
This step was missing leading to an odd situation were the traffic
would just stall after we tore down a Tx BA session while the HW
queue was not empty.

e13c0c59e0 iwlagn: move the mapping ac to queue / fifo to transport
This mapping is transport related.
This allows us to remove the notion of tx queue from the tx path in
the upper layer.
iwl_wake_any_queue moved to transport layer since it needs to access
these mappings.
The TX API is nicer now:

int (*tx)(struct iwl_trans *trans, struct sk_buff *skb,
		struct iwl_device_cmd *dev_cmd, u8 ctx, u8 sta_id);

the mapping tx_queue -> fifo is really transport related. The upper

Note that upon agg_disable, the queue is always mapped to fifo 0, but
this doesn't matter since when the queue will be setup again for a

a0eaad713f iwlagn: reclaim the packets in transport layer
The reclaim flow is really transport related. Define a simple API to allow the
upper layer to request from the transport layer to reclaim packets until an
index written in the Tx response / BA notification.
The transport layer prepares a list of the packets that are being freed and
passes this list to the upper layer.
Between the two layers, the CB of the skb is used to pass a pointer to the
context (BSS / PAN) in which the skb was sent.

e6bb4c9c00 iwlagn: bus layer chooses its transport layer
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.

523b02ea23 mac80211: fix TKIP races, make API easier to use
Our current TKIP code races against itself on TX
since we can process multiple packets at the same
time on different ACs, but they all share the TX
context for TKIP. This can lead to bad IVs etc.

Also, the crypto offload helper code just obtains
the P1K/P2K from the cache, and can update it as
well, but there's no guarantee that packets are
really processed in order.

To fix these issues, first introduce a spinlock
that will protect the IV16/IV32 values in the TX
context. This first step makes sure that we don't
assign the same IV multiple times or get confused
in other ways.

Secondly, change the way the P1K cache works. I
add a field "p1k_iv32" that stores the value of
the IV32 when the P1K was last recomputed, and
if different from the last time, then a new P1K
is recomputed. This can cause the P1K computation
to flip back and forth if packets are processed
out of order. All this also happens under the new
spinlock.

Finally, because there are argument differences,
split up the ieee80211_get_tkip_key() API into
ieee80211_get_tkip_p1k() and ieee80211_get_tkip_p2k()
and give them the correct arguments.

b25026981a iwlwifi: fix skb usage after free
Since

commit a120e912eb
Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>

    iwlwifi: sanity check before counting number of tfds can be free

we use skb->data after calling ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe(), which
could free skb instantly.

On current kernels I do not observe practical problems related with
bug, but on 2.6.35.y it cause random system hangs when stressing
wireless link.
