Instead of relying on a hard-coded constant of a maximum of 64 API and
capability bits, add a new enum value after the others that will then
always track the number of used bits in the API/capabilities. We thus
no longer need to maintain the maximum number, and on 32-bit platforms
even (currently) reduce the number of bits kept in memory.

Gscan is a scan feature which is supported on certain devices only,
hence the need for a TLV flag for it. For devices that support gscan
store the gscan capabilities advertised by the FW so the driver can
report it to upper layers.

Family 8000 products has 2 embedded processors, the first
known as LMAC (lower MAC) and implements the functionality from
previous products, the second one is known as UMAC (upper MAC)
and is used mainly for driver offloads as well as new features.
The UMAC is typically “less” real-time than the LMAC and is used
for higher level controls.
The UMAC's code/data size is estimated to be in the mega-byte arena,
taking into account the code it needs to replace in the driver and
the set of new features.
In order to allow the UMAC to execute code that is bigger than its code
memory, we allow the UMAC embedded processor to page out code pages on
DRAM.
When the device is master on the bus(PCI) the driver saves the UMAC's
image pages in blocks of 32K in the DRAM and sends the layout of the
pages to the FW. The FW can load / unload the pages on its own.
The driver can support up to 1 MB of pages.
Add paging mechanism for the UMAC on PCI in order to allow the program
to use a larger virtual space while using less physical memory on the
device.

Currently, loading the firmware fails when it has higher API or CAPA
bits than the driver supports. That's an issue with integration.
At the same time, actually using api[0] and capa[0] will become
confusing when we also have api[1] and capa[1], and it's almost
certain that we'll mix up the bits and use the bits for api[1] with
api[0] by accident.
Avoid all this by translating the API/CAPA bits to the regular kernel
test_bit() format, and also providing wrapper functions. Also use the
__bitwise__ facility of sparse to check that we're testing the right
one.

Most of the time, the issues we want to debug with the
firmware dump mechanism are transient. It is then very
hard to stop the recording on time and get meaningful
data.
In order to solve this, I add here an infrastucture
of triggers. The user will supply a list of triggers
that will start / stop the recording. We have two types
of triggers: start and stop. Start triggers can start a
specific configuration. The stop triggers will be able to
kick the collection of the data with the currently running
configuration. These triggers are given to the driver by
the .ucode file - just like the configuration.
In the next patches, I'll add triggers in the code.

This watchdog allows to monitor the transmit queues. When a

and then, debug data can be collected.
This watchdog has never been enabled on dvm controlled
devices, so don't enable it there.
In order to have it running on mvm controlled devices, we
need to fix a small issue in the transport layer: mvm
controlled devices use the shadow registers optimization.
In this case, the watchdog wasn't running at all, even if
enabled by the module parameter. Fix that on the way.
