As iwlwifi use fat skbs, it should not pull too much data in skb->head,
and particularly no tcp data payload, or splice() is slower, and TCP
coalescing is disabled. Copying payload to userland also involves at
least two copies (part from header, part from fragment)
Each layer will pull its header from the fragment as needed.
(on 64bit arches, skb_tailroom(skb) at this point is 192 bytes)
With this patch applied, I have a major reduction of collapsed/pruned
TCP packets, a nice increase of TCPRcvCoalesce counter, and overall
better Internet User experience.
Small packets are still using a fragless skb, so that page can be reused
by the driver.

Resolved the iwlwifi conflict with mainline using 3-way diff posted
by John Linville and Stephen Rothwell. In 'net' we added a bug
fix to make iwlwifi report a more accurate skb->truesize but this
conflicted with RX path changes that happened meanwhile in net-next.
In e1000e a conflict arose in the validation code for settings of
adapter->itr. 'net-next' had more sophisticated logic so that
logic was used.

By default, iwlwifi uses order-1 pages (8 KB) to store incoming frames,
but doesnt say so in skb->truesize.
This makes very possible to exhaust kernel memory since these skb evade
normal socket memory accounting.
As struct ieee80211_hdr is going to be pulled before calling IP stack,
there is no need to use dev_alloc_skb() to reserve NET_SKB_PAD bytes.
alloc_skb() is ok in this driver, allowing more tailroom.
Pull beginning of frame in skb header, in the hope we can reuse order-1
pages in the driver immediately for small frames and reduce their
truesize to the minimum (linear skbs)

Split the force_reset debugfs file into two
different files:
* "rf_reset" triggers a reset of the RF when
written to and exposes statistics on RF
resets when read
* fw_restart triggers a firmware restart when
written to and lives in the transport
This cleans up all sources of firmware restart
to originate within the transport layer and
allows us to simplify some code.

The calibration results all come in while we're
waiting for the calibration complete notification.
As a consequence, there's no need to install a
global RX handler for them, we can use the newly
extended notification wait framework for this and
make the code easier to follow.
It is now quite explicit that we are processing
the calibration results while waiting for the
complete notification, before this was implicit
and developers had to know this to understand why
we wait for the calibration complete notification
and what happens while we wait.

The flow handler (hardware) can put multiple
frames into a single RX buffer. To handle
this, walk the RX buffer and check if there
are multiple valid packets in it.
To let the upper layer handle this correctly
introduce rxb_offset() which is needed when
we pass pages to mac80211 -- we need to know
the offset into the page there.
Also change the page handling scheme to use
refcounting. Anyone who needs a page will
"steal" it, which marks it as having been
used & refcounts it. The RX handler then has
to free its own reference and must not reuse
the page.
Finally, do not set the bit asking the FH to
give us each packet in a single buffer. This
really enables the feature.

The PASSIVE_NO_RX workaround currently crosses
through the op_mode and transport layers, which
is a bit odd. This also isn't necessary, if the
transport simply reports when queues are full
(or no longer full) the op_mode can keep track
of this state, and report to mac80211 only what
*it* thinks is appropriate. What is appropriate
can then be based on whether queues should be
stopped to wait for RX or not.
This significantly simplifies the transport API,
it no longer needs to expose anything to stop a
queue, nor to wake "any" queue, this can all be
handled in the upper layer completely.
Also simplify the handling to not be dependent
on the context, that makes little sense as the
queues are shared and both contexts have to be
on the same channel anyway.
