mac80211 will call the driver whenever there is a race between
RSS queues and control path that requires a processing of all
pending frames in RSS queues.
Implement that by utilizing the internal notification mechanism:
queue a message to all queues. When the message is received on
a queue it decrements the atomic counter. This guarantees that
all pending frames in the RX queue were processed since the message
is in order inside the queue.

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.

Sometimes drivers already looked up, or know out-of-band
from their device, which station transmitted a given RX
frame. Allow them to pass the station pointer to mac80211
to save the extra lookup.

Currently the code checks if hardware reported both L4 and L3
checksums as valid, and only then reports it as validated to
the stack.
However, IPv6 does not have checksum at all and the L3 checksum
valid bit is always off for IPv6 packets, with the result of the
stack re-validating L4 checksum.
Fix code to set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY also for IPv6 packets whose
TCP/UDP checksum was verified.

To ensure that the SNAP/TCP/IP headers are DW aligned, the firmware
may add 2-byte pad at the end of the mac header - after the IV, before
the SNAP.
In that case the mpdu descriptor pad bit will be turned on.
Driver should take it into consideration, and remove the padding before
passing the packet to mac80211. Do that.

In multi rx queue HW, without execessive locking, there is no sync
between the ctrl path (default queue) and the rest of the rx queues.
This might cause issues on certain situations. For example, in case
a delBA was processed on a default queue but out of order packets
still wait for processing on the other queue.
The solution is to introduce internal messaging between the CTRL path
and the other rx queues.
The driver will send a message to the firmware, which will echo it to
all the requested queues. The message will be in order inside the queue.
This way we can avoid CTRL path and RSS queues races.
Add support for this messaging mechanism. As the firmware is agnostic to
the data sent, add internal representation of the data as well.
Although currently only delBA flow will use it, the internal representation
will enable generic use of this infrastructure for future uses.
Next patch will utilize this messaging mechanism for the reorder buffer
delBA flow.

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.

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.
