The calculated values for the ACK timeout and ACK
consume time are different then the values as
used by the Legacy drivers.
After testing from James Ledwith it appeared that
the calculated values caused a high amount of TX
failures, and the values from the Legacy drivers
were the most optimal to prevent TX failure due to
excessive retries.
The symptoms of this problem:
- Rate control module always falls back to 1Mbs
- Low throughput when bitrate was fixed
Possible side-effects (not confirmed but highly likely)
- Problems with DHCP
- Broken connections due to lack of probe response
This should fix at least:
Kernel bugzilla reports: [13362], [13009], [9273]
Fedora bugzilla reports: [443203]
but possible some additional bugs as well.

apply the conformance test limits (CTL) stored in the eeprom upon

This is based on the implementation in the vendor driver
(hal/hpmain.c, line 3700 ff.) with one difference:
If any ctl mode isn't found in the eeprom, we fall back to the "lower",
legacy modes (5GHT20,11A or 2GHT20,11G,11B). Otus only did 5GHT20->11A.

When UMAC stalls or asserts, we want to reset the device. But when we're
associated, the current reset worker will end up calling
cfg80211_connect_result() with the cfg80211 sme layer knowing that we're
reassociating. That ends up with some ugly warnings.
With this patch we're telling the upper layer that we've roamed if
reassociation succeeds, and that we're disconnected if it fails.

When the driver receives "connection terminated" event from device,
it could be caused by 2 reasons: the firmware is roaming or the
connection is lost (AP disappears). For the former, an association
complete event is supposed to come within 3 seconds. For the latter,
the driver won't receive any event except the connection terminated.
So we kick a delayed work (5*HZ) when we receive the connection
terminated event. It will be canceled if it turns out to be a roaming
event later. Otherwise we notify SME and userspace the disconnection.

The old function rt2x00queue_payload_align() handled
both adding and removing L2 padding and some basic
frame alignment. The entire function was being abused
because it had multiple functions and the header length
argument was somtimes used to align the header instead
of the payload.
Additionally there was a bug when inserting L2 padding
that only the payload was aligned but not the header. This
happens when the header wasn't aligned properly by mac80211,
but rt2x00lib only moves the payload.
A secondary problem was that when removing L2 padding during
TXdone or RX the skb wasn't resized to the proper size.
Split the function into seperate functions each handling
its task as it should.

Some concerns were raised about the automatic adjustment
of sleep intervals to all the same, potentially high,
value, and I can imagine the hardware behaving better
when we don't ask too much of it.
So let's convert to use a succession of sleep levels
when requesting to go to deeper sleeps (which can only
happen with large DTIM intervals), using the succession
values from power level three, which have the benefit of
also having been tested extensively already.
As a result, the automatic sleep level adjustment will
now be mostly equivalent to power level three, except
for the RX/TX timeouts and possibly using smaller sleep
vectors to account for networking latency.

For HT packets, mac80211 expects the rate_idx to be an MCS number, which is the
lower byte of rate_n_flags. However, iwl_hwrate_to_plcp_idx takes the MCS
number and reduces it down to the range 0-8 (6 to 60 Mbps), removing the bits
that signify multiply streams, HT40 Duplicate mode, or unequal modulation.
This version is used for various internal purposes through the driver.
Add the function iwl_hwrate_get_mac80211_idx, an alternate version which takes
the rate and the band and returns the mac80211 index (MCS, for HT packets, and
PLCP rate, for legacy packets).
