TX might be handled in the threaded IRQ handler, in which case, TX work
might be scheduled just to discover it has nothing to do.
Save a few context switches by cancelling redundant TX work in case TX
is about to be handled in the threaded IRQ handler. Also, avoid
scheduling TX work from wl1271_op_tx if not needed.

To achieve maximal throughput, it is very important to react to
interrupts as soon as possible. Currently the interrupt handler wakes up
a worker for handling interrupts in process context. A cleaner and more
efficient design would be to request a threaded interrupt handler. This
handler's priority is very high, and can do blocking operations such as
SDIO/SPI transactions.
Some work can be deferred, mostly calls to mac80211 APIs
(ieee80211_rx_ni and ieee80211_tx_status). By deferring such work to a
different worker, we can keep the irq handler thread more I/O
responsive. In addition, on multi-core systems the two threads can be
scheduled on different cores, which will improve overall performance.
The use of WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_PENDING & WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_RUNNING was
changed. For simplicity, always query the FW for more pending
interrupts. Since there are relatively long bursts of interrupts, the
extra FW status read overhead is negligible. In addition, this enables
registering the IRQ handler with the ONESHOT option.

On newer hardware revisions, there is no need to write the host's
counter at the end of a RX transaction. The same applies to writing the
number of packets at the end of a TX transaction.
It is generally a good idea to avoid unnecessary SDIO/SPI transfers.
Throughput and CPU usage are improved when avoiding these.
Send the host's RX counter and the TX packet count only if needed, based
on the hardware revision.

Update the PS mode of each link according to a bitmap polled from
fw_status. Manually notify mac80211 about PS mode changes in connected
stations.
mac80211 will only be notified about PS start when the station is in PS
and there is a small number of TX blocks from this link ready in HW.
This is required for waking up the remote station since the TIM is
updated entirely by FW.
When a station enters mac80211-PS-mode, we drop all the skbs in the
low-level TX queues belonging to this sta with STAT_TX_FILTERED

When 11a is not supported, we were modifying the global structure that
contains the bands supported by the driver. This causes problems when
having more one wl12xx device in the same system because they all use
the same global. This also causes problems when the wl12xx_sdio
module is removed and the wl12xx module remains.

With the current single-queue implementation traffic priorization is not
working correctly - when using multiple BE streams and one, say VI stream,
the VI stream will share bandwidth almost equally with the BE streams.
To fix the issue, implement per AC queues, which are emptied in priority
order to the firmware. To keep it relatively simple, maintain a global
buffer count and global queue stop/wake instead of per-AC.
With these changes, priorization appears to work just fine.

Currently, the debug level is set in compilation time (by the DEBUG_LEVEL
const). This method has the advantage of compiling only the relevant
messages, while optimizing out the unused ones.
In order to allow runtime control over the debug_level, while optimizing
out messages when debug messages are not needed, we combine some methods:
1. use dynamic_debug (pr_debug) rather then printk.
2. add debug_level module param in order to set debug level during insmod.
3. add debug_level sysfs file in order to allow dynamic control over the
debug level.
Since patches for pr_debug_hex_dump() implementation haven't been applied yet,
we are still temporarly using print_hex_dump().
