When we load the firmware, we hold trans_pcie->mutex to
avoid nested flows. We also rely on the ISR to wake up the
thread when the DMA has finished copying a chunk. During
this flow, we enable the RF-Kill interrupt.
The problem is that the RF-Kill interrupt handler can take
the mutex and bring the device down. This means that if
we load the firmware while the RF-Kill switch is enabled
(which will happen when we load the INIT firmware to read
the device's capabilities and register to mac80211), we
may get an RF-Kill interrupt immediately and the ISR will
be waiting for the mutex held by the thread that is
currently loading the firmware. At this stage, the ISR
won't be able to service the DMA's interrupt needed to
wake up the thread that load the firmware. We are in a
deadlock situation which ends when the thread that loads
the firmware fails on timeout and releases the mutex.
To fix this, take the mutex later in the flow, disable
the interrupts and synchronize_irq() to give a chance to
the RF-Kill interrupt to run and complete.
After that, mask all the interrupts besides the DMA
interrupt and proceed with firmware load. Make sure to
check that there was no RF-Kill interrupt when the
interrupts were disabled.

When the op_mode sends an skb whose payload is bigger than
MSS, PCIe will create an A-MSDU out of it. PCIe assumes
that the skb that is coming from the op_mode can fit in one
A-MSDU. It is the op_mode's responsibility to make sure
that this guarantee holds.
Additional headers need to be built for the subframes.
The TSO core code takes care of the IP / TCP headers and
the driver takes care of the 802.11 subframe headers.
These headers are stored on a per-cpu page that is re-used
for all the packets handled on that same CPU. Each skb
holds a reference to that page and releases the page when
it is reclaimed. When the page gets full, it is released
and a new one is allocated.
Since any SKB that doesn't go through the fast-xmit path
of mac80211 will be segmented, we can assume here that the
packet is not WEP / TKIP and has a proper SNAP header.

Allow to configure the driver to pretend to have TX CSUM
offload support. This will be useful to test the TSO flows
that will come in further patches.
This configuration is disabled by default.

In certain flows (see next patches), the op_mode may need to
block the Tx queues for a short period. Provide an API for
that. The transport is in charge of counting the number of
times the queues are blocked since the op_mode may block the
queues several times in a row before unblocking them.

Transport code currently calls itself through the transport ops,
which is quite pointless. Clean up all of this. While at it,
remove the unnecessary dir argument and the redundant IDI code.
In slave transports, call both the common slave debugfs and the
transport's own. SDIO has no files, so remove it all there.

Make the various conversion functions typesafe, so we don't
accidentally try to call them with the wrong pointers and
cast them to something that will crash.

802.11ac allows A-MSDU that can be up to 12KB long. Since
an entire A-MSDU needs to fit into one single Receive
Buffer (RB), add support for big RBs.
Since this adds lots of pressure to the memory manager and
significantly increase the true_size of the RX buffers,
don't enable this by default.
