In XMIT path, the skb that we get from the kernel itself is not
aligned with 4-byte boundary on some embedded platforms.
Had it not been the presence of tx_pkt_offset field in txpd, 4 byte
memory alignment was not possible without memmove of entire skb.
And that would have increased MIPS instead of reducing.
With this patch few memory cycles can be saved while fetching
interface header and txpd structure because of 4 bytes memory
alignment.

Debugfs command 'info' shows wrong interface type. The regression
occurred due to commit eecd8250e (mwifiex: remove MWIFIEX_BSS_MODE_
macros) in which we replaced MWIFIEX_BSS_MODE_* macros by
NL80211_IFTYPE_*, for example,
MWIFIEX_BSS_MODE_IBSS (2) --> NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC (1)
The issue is fixed by swapping static character array used to
display interface type information.

The current rx->queue value is slightly confusing.
It is set to 16 on non-QoS frames, including data,
and then used for sequence number and PN/IV checks.
Until recently, we had a TKIP IV checking bug that
had been introduced in 2008 to fix a seqno issue.
Before that, we always used TID 0 for checking the
PN or IV on non-QoS packets.
Go back to the old status for PN/IV checks using
the TID 0 counter for non-QoS by splitting up the
rx->queue value into "seqno_idx" and "security_idx"
in order to avoid confusion in the future. They
each have special rules on the value used for non-
QoS data frames.
Since the handling is now unified, also revert the
special TKIP handling from my patch
"mac80211: fix TKIP replay vulnerability".

Just like TKIP and CCMP, CMAC has the PN race.

Since we can process multiple packets at the
same time for different ACs, but the PN is
allocated from a single counter, we need to
use an atomic value there. Use atomic64_t to
make this cheaper on 64-bit platforms, other
platforms will support this through software
emulation, see lib/atomic64.c.
We also need to use an on-stack scratch buf
so that multiple packets won't corrupt each
others scratch buffers.

Our current TKIP code races against itself on TX
since we can process multiple packets at the same
time on different ACs, but they all share the TX
context for TKIP. This can lead to bad IVs etc.
Also, the crypto offload helper code just obtains
the P1K/P2K from the cache, and can update it as
well, but there's no guarantee that packets are
really processed in order.
To fix these issues, first introduce a spinlock
that will protect the IV16/IV32 values in the TX
context. This first step makes sure that we don't
assign the same IV multiple times or get confused
in other ways.
Secondly, change the way the P1K cache works. I
add a field "p1k_iv32" that stores the value of
the IV32 when the P1K was last recomputed, and
if different from the last time, then a new P1K
is recomputed. This can cause the P1K computation
to flip back and forth if packets are processed
out of order. All this also happens under the new
spinlock.
Finally, because there are argument differences,
split up the ieee80211_get_tkip_key() API into
ieee80211_get_tkip_p1k() and ieee80211_get_tkip_p2k()
and give them the correct arguments.

Split tx_queue_count to count per-AC skb's queued, instead of relying on
the skb-queue len. The skb queues used were only valid in STA-mode, as
AP-mode uses per-link queues.
This fixes a major regression in AP-mode, caused by the patch
"wl12xx: implement Tx watermarks per AC". With that patch applied, we
effectively had no regulation of Tx queues in AP-mode. Therefore a
sustained high rate of Tx could cause exhaustion of the skb memory pool.

Implementing this callback function will cause mac80211 refrain from
going to powersave state when there are still untransmitted TX frames
in the queues.
This would exactly mimic the behaviour of the legacy vendor driver which
also doesn't go in powersave mode if there are still TX frames that are not
transmitted.
This should make powersaving and rt2x00 a better couple.

The rt2x00 driver gets frequent occurrences of the following error message
when operating under load:
phy0 -> rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the
non-full queue 2.
This is caused by simultaneous attempts from mac80211 to send a frame via
rt2x00, which are not properly serialized inside rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame,
causing the second frame to fail sending with the above mentioned error
message.
Fix this by introducing a per-queue spinlock to serialize the TX operations
on that queue.
