Tell the firmware to enable the life time expiry of tx packets
in the hardware. The hardware will now refer to the timestamp
in every tx packet and decide whether the packet needs to be
dropped or transmitted.

Since queues are not stopped anymore, management frames would be
dropped if the corresponding tx queue is full.
This can cause issues say when we want to setup an ampdu stream and
action frames i.e addba requests keep getting dropped frequently.
Fix this by reserving some buffers to allow management frames to
go through in queue full conditions.

Timestamp tx packets using a HW micro-second timer.
This timestamp will be compared to the current timestamp
in the hardware and if the difference is greater than 500ms,
the packet will be dropped.

This is in preparation to support life time expiry of packets in the
hardware to avoid head-of-line blocking where a slow client can
hog a tx queue and affect the traffic to a faster client from the same
queue. Time stamp the packets in driver to allow dropping them in the
hardware if they are queued for more than 500ms.
If queues are stopped, packets will be queued up outside the driver.
Since we will be able to timestamp the packets only after they hit the
driver, the timestamp will be less accurate since we cannot consider
the time the packets spent in queues outside the driver. With this commit,
to achieve accurate timestamping, the tx queues will not be stopped in
normal conditions. The only scenarios where the queues will be stopped are
when firmware commands are executing or if the interface is brought down.
Now, we need to be prepared for a situation where packets hit the driver
even after the tx queues are full. Drop all such packets in the driver itself.

My commit 3598e1774c
"iwlwifi: fix enqueue hcmd race conditions" move hcmd callback after
command queue reclaim, to avoid call it with hcmd_lock. But since
queue read index was updated, cmd data can be overwritten. Fix problem
by calling callback before taking hcmd_lock and queue reclaim.

The current firmware loading mechanism in
iwlwifi is very hard to follow, and thus
hard to maintain. To make it easier, make
the firmware loading synchronous.
For now, as a side effect, this removes a
number of retry possibilities we had. It
isn't typical for this to fail, but if it
does happen we restart from scratch which
this also makes easier to do should it be
necessary.

The current code to read the error table header
just hardcodes all the offsets, which is a bit
hard to understand. We can read in the entire
header (as much as we need) into a structure,
and then take the data from there, which makes
it easier to understand. To read a bigger blob
we also don't need to grab NIC access for each
word read, making the code more efficient.

Implement the get_antenna and set_antenna callback functions, which will
allow clients to control the antenna for all non-11n hardware (Antenna handling
in rt2800 is still a bit magical, so we can't use the set_antenna for those drivers
yet).
To best support the set_antenna callback some modifications are needed in the
diversity handling. We should never look at the default antenna settings to determine
if software diversity is enabled. Instead we should set the diversity flag when
possible, which will allow the link_tuner to automatically pick up the tuning.
