Accumulate the total number of sent packets per-link to find out how far
the encryption sequence number has progressed. Use this number as the
initial security sequence number after recovery.
This consolidates security sequence handling for both chip families, as
we no longer have to rely on 12xx specific Tx completion.
A fortunate side effect of this is correct management of seq numbers for
AP roles and multi-role scenarios.
When a link is removed we save the last seq number on a persistent part
of the wlvif. This helps the data survive through recoveries/suspends,
which also entail changes in the hlid of the link.

Start using the new hw_queue mechanism in mac80211 and give each AC in
each vif its own hw_queue number. This allows us to stop an AC in a vif
independently from other vifs.
Change the Tx watermark handling functions to count packets per AC in
vif. From now on fast links should not be able to hurt the throughput
of slow links on the same AC but on different vifs.
Change internal queue mgmt functions to operate per vif, to support the
new Tx watermark granularity. Make the global versions of the queue
stop/start functions to use the global mac80211 API for queue mgmt. This
helps in situations where the driver currently doesn't know all the vifs
that reside in mac80211. Recovery is a good example for such a case.

For 18xx the changes are:

- Active links now get their thresholds directly from FW
- There's a new "stop" threshold for active links, at which point a link
stops receiving new packets.

Prioritize EDCA by choosing the AC before anything else. Use the
fast/slow link bitmap in FW to improve the scheduling algorithm for
the multi-link scenario.
Set packet thresholds to determine if a given link is high or low
priority according to its speed. A slow link will be given high priority
if the amount of packets queued for it in the FW is lower than the
slow-threshold. Similarly, a fast link will be given high priority if
the number of its packets queued in FW is smaller than the high-threshold.
The improved algorithm:
1. Choose optimal AC according to FW utilization
2. Traversing the VIFs in a round-robin fashion, try to choose a high
priority link. Links are traversed in a round-robin fashion inside a
VIF.
3. If no high priority links are found, choose the first non-empty
(low priority) link found in the round robin.
