2470b36e84 iwlwifi: mvm: don't warn on normal BAR sending
This flow happens when we get a failed single Tx response
on an AMPDU queue. In this case, the frame won't be sent
any more. So we need to move the window on the recipient
side. This is done by a BAR.

Now if we are in the following case: 10, 12 and 13 are ACKed
and 11 isn't.

 10  11  12  13.
 V   X   V   V

Then, 11 will be sent 16 times as an MPDU (as oppsed to
A-MPDU). If this failed, we are entering the flow described
above. So we need to send a BAR with ssn = 12.
But in this case, the scheduler will tell us to free frames
up to 13 (included).

So, it is perfectly possible to get a failed single Tx
response on an AMPDU queue that makes the scheduler's ssn
jump by more than 1 single packet.

2bfb50924c iwlwifi: use threaded interrupt handler
With new transports coming up, move to threaded
interrupt handling now. This has the advantage
that we can use the same locking scheme with all
different transports we may need to implement.

Note that the TX path obviously still runs in a
tasklet, so some spin_lock() calls need to change
to spin_lock_bh() calls to properly lock out the
TX path.

In my test on a Calpella platform this has no
impact on throughput or latency.

Also add lockdep annotations to avoid lockups due
to catch sending synchronous commands or using
locks that connect with them from the irq thread.

8ca151b568 iwlwifi: add the MVM driver
Newer firmware revisions have a completely new
firmware API. This is the new driver for this
new API.

I've listed the people who directly contributed
code, but many others from various teams have
contributed in other ways.
