Padding per MSDU will affect the length of next packet and hence
the exact length of next packet is uncertain here.

Also, aggregation of transmission buffer, while downloading the
data to the card, wont gain much on the AMSDU packets as the AMSDU
packets utilizes the transmission buffer space to the maximum
(adapter->tx_buf_size).

Instead of counting the number of packets in txq
for particular RA list before AMSDU creation,
maintain a counter which will keep track of the
same.

This will reduce some MIPS while generating AMSDU

of traversing through skb list.

Adding new event that close RX BA session in case of periodic BT activity
limiting WLAN activity.

Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Some devices support BT/WLAN co-existence algorigthms.
In order not to harm the system performance and user experience, the device
requests not to allow any RX BA session and tear down existing RX BA sessions
based on system constraints such as periodic BT activity that needs to limit
WLAN activity (eg.SCO or A2DP).
In such cases, the intention is to limit the duration of the RX PPDU and
therefore prevent the peer device to use A-MPDU aggregation.

Adding ieee80211_stop_rx_ba_session() callback
that can be used by the driver to stop existing BA sessions.

Setting tx power can be deferred during scan or changing channel.
If after that correct tx power settings will not be sent to device,
we can observe transmission problems and timeouts. Force to send
tx power settings also after partial rxon change, to assure device
always be configured with up-to-date settings.

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:

iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: queue 10 stuck 3 time. Fw reload.
iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: On demand firmware reload

John Linville suggested that these kind of functions should be made
available to others as a library function in the kernel tree. The
b43 driver also has a cordic angle calculation implemented.

Commit 06e8935f adds an IRQ handling
optimization for single-function SDIO cards like this one, but at the
same time exposes a small hardware bug.

During hardware init, an interrupt is generated with (apparently) no
source. Previously, mmc threw this interrupt away, but now (due to the
optimization), the mmc layer passes this onto libertas, before it is ready
(and before it has enabled interrupts), causing a crash.

Work around this hardware bug by registering the IRQ handler later and
making it capable of handling interrupts with no cause. The change that
makes the IRQ handler registration happen later actually eliminates
the spurious interrupt as well.
