Toke Høiland-Jørgensen e937b8da5a mac80211: Add TXQ scheduling API
This adds an API to mac80211 to handle scheduling of TXQs and changes the
interface between driver and mac80211 for TXQ handling as follows:

- The wake_tx_queue callback interface no longer includes the TXQ. Instead,
  the driver is expected to retrieve that from ieee80211_next_txq()

- Two new mac80211 functions are added: ieee80211_next_txq() and
  ieee80211_schedule_txq(). The former returns the next TXQ that should be
  scheduled, and is how the driver gets a queue to pull packets from. The
  latter is called internally by mac80211 to start scheduling a queue, and
  the driver is supposed to call it to re-schedule the TXQ after it is
  finished pulling packets from it (unless the queue emptied).

The ath9k and ath10k drivers are changed to use the new API.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
