Next hardware will direct TCP/UDP streams to different cores.
Packets belonging to the same stream will be directed to the same
core.
The result is that duplicates will be always directed to the same
rx queue were the first packet was received.
This enabled parallelizing the duplicate packet detection across
the different cores, without sharing data between the rx queues.

When forming IBSS, mac80211 scans in order to find an already
existing cell to join.
In case the scan does not find any existing cell a new IBSS
cell is formed.
When receiving the beacons of another IBSS cell we should
merge if the other IBSS cell's TSF is higher than ours.
However, currently iwlmvm does not set any timestamp flag in
rx_status so there is no valid rx timestamp to compare the
beacon's TSF to.
The reason for that is that TSF as indicated by the firmware
is at INA time, but up till now mac80211 expected the TSF at
the beginning or end of the MPDU.
Set the flag to the newly added RX_FLAG_MACTIME_PLCP_START flag.

Final API of iwl_mpdu_desc has a change in the order of
the fields and does not include energy from the third
antenna (which is perfectly fine, since we don't have one).
Update the structure accordingly.

As we're working on multi-queue RX, we want to parallelise checking
the PN in order to avoid having to serialise the RX processing.
It may seem that doing parallel PN checking is insecure, but it turns
out to be OK because queue assignment is done based on the data in the
frame (IP/TCP) and thus cannot be manipulated by an attacker, since
the data is encrypted and must first have been decrypted successfully.
There are some corner cases, in particular when the peer starts using
fragmentation which redirects the packet to the default queue. However
this redirection is remembered (for the STA, per TID) and thus cannot
be exploited by an attacker either.
Leave checking on the default queue (queue 0) to mac80211, since we
get fragmented packets there and those are subject to stricter checks
during reassembly.

Incoming hardware will send frame release notifications to
the reorder buffer in order to update with the BA session
status and up to date NSSN.
