Previously in interrupt handling tasklet, iwlwifi driver only clear/ack
those interrupts that are enabled by the driver through inta_mask.
If the hardware generates unattended interrupts, driver will not ack them,
defeating the interrupt coalescing feature. This results in high number
of interrupts per second and high CPU utilization.
This patch addresses this issue by acking those unattended interrupts
in the tasklet. Local test showed an order of magnitude improvement
in terms of the number of interrupts without sacrificing networking
throughput. This is a workaround for hardware issue.

mac80211 recently implemented two new callbacks that are used to request
station add/remove from the driver. The benefot from these new callbacks
are that they enable the driver to sleep while performing this work.
This is a big patch since a few things need to be coordinated in this move.
First we need to decouple station management from rate scaling, which
caused a lot of code to be moved and/or deleted. Next we needed to tie in
with mac80211's station management callback and let it direct our station
management as well as trigger the rate scaling initialization.
Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com>
Currently the broadcast station is added after every RXON command. Change
this to only add the broadcast station when interface is added by mac80211.
With this we need some extra work to ensure broadcast station is always
present since station table is cleared when RXON without ASSOC bit set is
sent. To deal with this we re-add all driver known stations to uCode after
such an RXON command is sent.
We also do some cleanup and remove the various calls to clear the station
table. We now only clear the station table in two scenarios:
- only clear uCode portion of station table when RXON command without ASSOC
bit is sent
- clear uCode and driver portion when interface goes down or is removed.
We need to do this clearing when interface goes down to deal with the
device restart/reconfigure routines which do not remove the interface, but
do add the interface during reconfiguration.
Previously the keys were also cleared when station table in driver is
cleared, this is not done anymore since mac80211 will take care that keys
are set and cleared correctly.
There is a known issue with this change. Associating with different AP
without bringing interface down fails with a firmware error. This is
because of the lack of full station notification support and the later
patches in this series that complete the station notification support will
fix this.

As explained by Johannes:
When we

arrive over the limit of 200 bytes. When we build it in the buffer
without the SSID (wildcard) we don't arrive over 200 bytes, but the
ucode still allows direct probe in addition because it has an internal
buffer that is larger when it inserts the SSID...
