When building a Tx Command for management frames, we are lacking
a check for action frames, for which we should set a different
pm_timeout. This cause the fw to stay awake for 100TU after each
such frame is transmitted, resulting an excessive power consumption.

We also need to consider the size of large firmware commands in iwm_alloc_tx_ring(),
in the dma tag creation, when qid == IWM_MVM_CMD_QUEUE. The old code apparently
only allocated a 2KB (MCLBYTES) sized buffer when it actually expected 4KB.

* When bus_dmamem_alloc is used, the bus_dmamap_t is usually set to NULL, so
we were never actually freeing any dma memory allocations done via
iwm_dma_contig_alloc(). So we should check dma->vaddr instead of dma->map here.
* Also, the dmamap is actually supposed to be invalidated as part of
bus_dmamem_free(), so bus_dmamap_destroy() is never needed here.

When allocating a new mbuf or bus_dmamap_load()-ing it fails,
we can just keep the old mbuf since we are dropping that packet anyway.
Instead of doing bus_dmamap_create() and bus_dmamap_destroy() all the time,
create an extra bus_dmamap_t which we can use to safely try
bus_dmamap_load()-ing the new mbuf. On success we just swap the spare
bus_dmamap_t with the data->map of that ring entry.
Tested:
Tested with Intel AC7260, verified with vmstat -m that new kernel no
longer visibly leaks memory from the M_DEVBUF malloc type.
Before, leakage was 1KB every few seconds while ping(8)-ing over the wlan
connection.

The Linux driver sets the rate_n_flags regardless of whether it's being

the antenna configuration.

The iwm firmware has separate commands for add, modify and delete for
various things (mac, phy context, etc.) The openbsd driver has a habit
of just completely resetting the NIC each time, which is technically
mostly okay (as long as the reset doesn't actually fail!) but it means
a lot of the code is doing ADD when it should do MODIFY.
The firmware responds in kind - it just asserts.
This fixes auth attempts that occur after the NIC has been already
configured.
(I'm sure there are more instances of this!)

we want to use it.
The rate table was being initialised in low->high, but the link quality
table was being initialised high->low. So, when we did a lookup, we
would get the indexes wrong.
This started by a patch from dragonflybsd which reversed how the ni->in_ridx[]
array is being used; I'd rather it all be consistent. So, this is consistent.

This optimization is not proper (and causes kernel panic),
since driver checks fw_status to optimize away parsing stage
if it was already done.

connectivity interact with the net80211 stack.
Historical background: originally wireless devices created an interface,
just like Ethernet devices do. Name of an interface matched the name of
the driver that created. Later, wlan(4) layer was introduced, and the
wlanX interfaces become the actual interface, leaving original ones as
"a parent interface" of wlanX. Kernelwise, the KPI between net80211 layer
and a driver became a mix of methods that pass a pointer to struct ifnet
as identifier and methods that pass pointer to struct ieee80211com. From
user point of view, the parent interface just hangs on in the ifconfig
list, and user can't do anything useful with it.
Now, the struct ifnet goes away. The struct ieee80211com is the only
KPI between a device driver and net80211. Details:
- The struct ieee80211com is embedded into drivers softc.
- Packets are sent via new ic_transmit method, which is very much like
the previous if_transmit.
- Bringing parent up/down is done via new ic_parent method, which notifies
driver about any changes: number of wlan(4) interfaces, number of them
in promisc or allmulti state.
- Device specific ioctls (if any) are received on new ic_ioctl method.
- Packets/errors accounting are done by the stack. In certain cases, when
driver experiences errors and can not attribute them to any specific
interface, driver updates ic_oerrors or ic_ierrors counters.
Details on interface configuration with new world order:
- A sequence of commands needed to bring up wireless DOESN"T change.
- /etc/rc.conf parameters DON'T change.
- List of devices that can be used to create wlan(4) interfaces is
now provided by net.wlan.devices sysctl.
Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4),
that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing
changes to at least 8 drivers. Thanks to pluknet@, Oliver Hartmann,
Olivier Cochard, gjb@, mmoll@, op@ and lev@, who also participated in

There are still several bugs, but I've been using it for a while now.
Thanks to all the testers and to Adrian for his help with this
driver.
This driver isn't connected to the build yet, but it will be soon.
There's no MFC planned because the driver isn't very stable yet.
