This isn't strictly required to TX (at least non-agg and non-HT40,
non-short-GI) frames; but as it needs to be done anyway, just get
it done.
Linux ath9k uses the rate scenario style path for -all- packets,
legacy or otherwise. This code does much the same.
Beacon TX still uses the legacy, non-rate-scenario TX descriptor
setup. Ath9k also does this.
This 11n rate scenario path is only called for chips in the AR5416
HAL; legacy chips use the previous interface for TX'ing.
A-MPDU RX interferes with packet retransmission/reordering.
In local testing, I was seeing A-MPDU being negotiated and then
not used by the AP sending frames to the STA; the STA would then
treat non A-MPDU frames that are retransmits as out of the window
and get plain confused.
The hardware RX status descriptor has a "I'm part of an aggregate"
bit; so this should eventually be tested and then punted to the
A-MPDU reorder handling only if it has this bit set.
get properties from the parent. The parent is in fact the FDT bus
itself and will therefore not have the properties we're looking
for.

1) They don't use the giant "MAX_CPU" define and instead
are allocated dynamically based on mp_ncpus
2) Will zero with the netstat -z -s -p sctp
3) Will be properly handled by both the sctp_init and finish
(the multi-net stuff was incorrectly bzero'ing in sctp_init
the wrong size.. the bzero is now moved to the right places).
And of course the free is put in at the very end.

worker can ask the main privileged process to connect in worker's behalf
and then we can migrate descriptor using this socketpair to worker.
This is not really needed now, but will be needed once we start to use
capsicum for sandboxing.

threads. These serve as input threads and are queued
packets based on the V-tag number. This is similar to
what a modern card can do with queue's for TCP... but
alas modern cards know nothing about SCTP.

make use of the aac_ioctl_event callback, if aac_alloc_command fails. This
can end up in an infinite loop in the while loop in aac_release_command.
Further investigation into the issue mentioned by Scott Long [1] will be
necessary.

should_yield(). Use this in various places. Encapsulate the common
case of check-and-yield into a new function maybe_yield().
Change several checks for a magic number of iterations to use
should_yield() instead.

proto_connection_{send,recv} and change them to return proto_conn
structure. We don't operate directly on descriptors, but on
proto_conns.
- Add wrap method to wrap descriptor with proto_conn.
- Remove methods to send and receive descriptors and implement this
functionality as additional argument to send and receive methods.

If timeout argument to proto_connect() is -1, then the caller needs to use
this new function to wait for connection.
This change is in preparation for capsicum, where sandboxed worker wants
to ask main process to connect in worker's behalf and pass descriptor
to the worker. Because we don't want the main process to wait for the
connection, it will start async connection and pass descriptor to the
worker who will be responsible for waiting for the connection to finish.

2) Add separate max-bursts for retransmit and hb. These
are set to sysctlable values but not settable via the
socket api. This makes sure we don't blast out HB's or
fast-retransmits.
3) Determine on the first data transmission on a net if
its local-lan (by being under or over a RTT). This
can later be used to think about different algorithms
based on locallan vs big-i (experimental)
4) The cwnd should NOT be allowed to grow when an ECNEcho
is seen (TCP has this same bug). We fix this in SCTP
so an ECNe being seen prevents an advance of cwnd.
5) CWR's should not be sent multiple times to the
same network, instead just updating the TSN being
transmitted if needed.
