This watchdog allows to monitor the transmit queues. When a
queue doesn't progress for a too long time, a timer fires
and then, debug data can be collected.
This watchdog has never been enabled on dvm controlled
devices, so don't enable it there.
In order to have it running on mvm controlled devices, we
need to fix a small issue in the transport layer: mvm
controlled devices use the shadow registers optimization.
In this case, the watchdog wasn't running at all, even if
enabled by the module parameter. Fix that on the way.

This allows to use the firmware monitor. This capability
uses a lot of contiguous memory (up to 64MB), so make its
usage module parameter dependent.
The driver will try to allocate as much contiguous memory
as possible downgrading its requirements until the
allocation succeeds.
Dump this data into the fw-error dump file when an error
happens.

Some APs (e.g. TP-LINK TL-WA801N) are disabling aggregation (downlink
to station) when U-APSD is enabled, resulting in low throughput.
Add a module parameter to allow disabling U-APSD support in the driver.
Also re-enable U-APSD for -9 firmware since the firmare issues were
fixed in this release.
There are devices that won't support U-APSD even with newer
firmware, so bring the TLV flag back to detect those.

NICs supported by iwldvm don't handle well TX AMPDU.
Disable it by default, still leave the possibility to
the user to force enable it with a debug parameter.
NICs supported by iwlmvm don't suffer from the same issue,
leave TX AMPDU enabled by default for these.

Instead of using #ifdef CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG, remove the
iwlwifi_mod_params.debug_level variable completely and
make iwl_have_debug_level() always return false in the
non-debug case. This way, the optimiser will elide all
code for it automatically without having to add #ifdefs.

Some newer devices will be integrated into the platform more
deeply and will not have embedded NVM (EEPROM/OTP). To support
such devices the NVM data must be provided by the platform,
allow loading the data via request_firmware() and then send it
to the device as needed.

This allows to test fw restart flow. The hook in transport
layer doesn't really make the fw assert. Moving this hook
to the op_mode allows to use the fw API to actually send a
host command that will make the fw assert.
Change the restart_fw module parameter to be a boolean on
the way.

Supporting 8K A-MSDU means that we need to allocate order 1
pages for every Rx packet. Even when there is no traffic.
This adds stress on the memory manager. The handling of
compound pages is also less trivial for the memory manager
and not using them will make the allocation code run faster
although I didn't really measure.
Eric also pointed out that having huge buffers with little
data in them is not very nice towards the TCP stack since
the truesize of the skb is huge. This doesn't allow TCP
to have a big Rx window.
See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2167711/ for details.
Note that very few vendors will actually send A-MSDU.
Disable this feature by default.

There are various problems happened on 5GHz band not observed on
2.4 GHz (microcode errors, queue stuck, etc... ) . Also roaming
between 5GHz AP and 2GHz does not work very well. To workaround
the problems add option to disable 5GHz support. This will help
on environments where APs are dual-band, and devices will not try
to associate on band where issues happen.
