Move to use the new mac80211 TXQs implementation. This has quite a few benefits for us. We can get rid of the awkward mapping of DQA to mac80211 queues. We can stop buffering traffic while waiting for the queue to be allocated. We can also use mac80211 AMSDUs instead of building it ourselves. The usage is pretty simple: Each ieee80211_txq contains iwl_mvm_txq. There is such a queue for each TID, and one for management frames. We keep having static AP queues for probes and non-bufferable MMPDUs, along with broadcast and multicast queues. Those are being used from the "old" TX invocation path - iwl_mvm_mac_tx. When there is a new frame in a TXQ, iwl_mvm_mac_wake_tx is being called, and either invokes the TX path, or allocates the queue if it does not exist. Most of the TX path is left untouched, although we can consider cleaning it up some more, for example get rid of the duplication of txq_id in both iwl_mvm_txq and iwl_mvm_dqa_txq_info.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
