This adds an API to mac80211 to handle scheduling of TXQs. The interface
between driver and mac80211 for TXQ handling is changed by adding two new
functions: ieee80211_next_txq(), which will return the next TXQ to schedule
in the current round-robin rotation, and ieee80211_return_txq(), which the
Another update, addressing most of the concerns raised in the last round:
- Added schedule_start()/end() functions that adds locking around the
whole scheduling operation, which means we can get rid of the 'first'
parameter to ieee80211_next_txq().
- Adds a callback in the wake_txqs tasklet
This adds airtime accounting and scheduling to the mac80211 TXQ
scheduler. A new callback, ieee80211_sta_register_airtime(), is added
that drivers can call to report airtime usage for stations.
When airtime information is present, mac80211 will schedule TXQs
(through ieee80211_next_txq()) in a
This adds TX airtime statistics to the cfg80211 station dump (to go along
with the RX info already present), and adds a new parameter to set the
airtime weight of each station. The latter allows userspace to implement
policies for different stations by varying their weights.

This moves the ath9k driver to use the mac80211 TXQ scheduling and
airtime accounting APIs, removing the corresponding state tracking
inside the driver.
