When the rssi of the current AP drops, both wpa_supplicant and the
firmware may do a background scan to find a better AP and try to
associate. Since firmware based roaming is faster, inform
wpa_supplicant to avoid roaming and let the firmware decide to
roam if necessary.
For fullmac drivers like ath6kl, it is just enough to provide the
ESSID and the firmware will decide on the BSSID. Since it is not
possible to do pre-auth during roaming for fullmac drivers, the
wpa_supplicant needs to completely disconnect with the old AP and
reconnect with the new AP. This consumes lot of time and it is
better to leave the roaming decision to the firmware.

Unfortunately failed BAR tx attempts happen more frequently than I
expected, and the resulting aggregation teardowns cause performance
issues, as the aggregation session does not always get re-established
properly.
Instead of tearing down the entire aggr session, we can simply store the
SSN of the last failed BAR tx attempt, wait for the first successful
tx status event, and then send another BAR with the same SSN.

With sequence number and buffer allocation deferred to when they're needed

When 64-bit DMA was first used, there were problems with the
BCM4311 (14e4:4311). The problem was "fixed" by using the GFP_DMA
flag in the allocation of coherent ring descriptor memory.
The original problem is now believed to have been due to bugs in
the 64-bit DMA implementation in the rest of the kernel, and that
those bugs have been fixed. Accordingly, the requirement for the
descriptors to be in the DMA zone is relaxed.
Bounce buffers are left in the DMA zone.

This logic is responsible to tell mac80211 when the HW queues are
empty and the BA session can be started / torn down.
Fix a bug on the way:
When the the Tx BA session is stopped and the HW queues aren't empty,
we stop the SW queue to drain the HW queue and then switch to the
legacy HW queue. This is the IWL_EMPTYING_HW_QUEUE_DELBA state.
While in this state, we never wake the SW queue, even when the HW
queue is almost empty, since we need to drain it completely. Look
at iwl_trans_pcie_reclaim regarding this.
Once the HW queue is really empty, we must wake the SW queue in order
to get traffic to the legacy queue.
This step was missing leading to an odd situation were the traffic
would just stall after we tore down a Tx BA session while the HW
queue was not empty.
