As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly,
convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long
bitmaps.

This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to
test the bits, along with new debugfs code.

The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the
drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the
fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

into the rest of the amd-xgbe driver.

<title>mac80211: don't use napi_gro_receive() outside NAPI context</title>

No matter how the driver manages its NAPI context, there's no way
sending frames to it from a timer can be correct, since it would
corrupt the internal GRO lists.

To avoid that, always use the non-NAPI path when releasing frames
from the timer.

<title>mac80211: move dot11 counters under MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS</title>

Since these counters can only be read through debugfs, there's
very little point in maintaining them all the time. However,
even just making them depend on debugfs is pointless - they're
not normally used. Additionally a number of them aren't even
concurrency safe.

Move them under MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS so they're normally
not even compiled in.

The debugfs statistics macros are pointlessly verbose, so change
that macro to just have a single argument. While at it, remove
the unused counters and rename rx_expand_skb_head2 to the better
rx_expand_skb_head_defrag.

When frames time out in the reordering buffer, it is a
good indication that something went wrong and the driver
may want to know about that to take action or trigger
debug flows.
It is pointless to notify the driver about each frame that
is released. Notify each time the timer fires.

When we receive a BAR, this typically means that our peer
doesn't hear our Block-Acks or that we can't hear its
frames. Either way, it is a good indication that the link
is in a bad condition. This is why it can serve as a probe
to the driver.
Use the event_callback callback for this.
Since more events with the same data will be added in the
feature, the structure that describes the data attached to
the event is called in a generic name: ieee80211_ba_event.

This also means that from now on, the event_callback can't
sleep.

This isn't all that relevant for RX right now, but TX can be concurrent
due to multi-queue and the accounting is therefore broken.

Use the standard per-CPU statistics to avoid this.

The OCB input path already checked that the BSSID is the broadcast

The function really shouldn't be called prepare_for_handlers(),
all it does is check if the frame should be dropped. Rename it
