When using RSS, frames might not be processed in the correct order,
and thus AP_LINK_PS must be used; most likely with firmware keeping
track of the powersave state, this is the case in iwlwifi now.
In this case, the driver can use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to
still have mac80211 manage powersave buffering. However, for U-APSD
and PS-Poll this isn't sufficient. If the device can't manage that
entirely on its own, mac80211's code should be used.
To allow this, export two functions: ieee80211_sta_uapsd_trigger()
and ieee80211_sta_pspoll().

There's no harm in having drivers read the list, since they can
use RCU protection or RTNL locking; allow this to not require
each and every driver to also implement its own bookkeeping.

Some hardware (iwlwifi an example) de-aggregate AMSDUs and copy the IV
as is to the generated MPDUs, so the same PN appears in multiple
packets without being a replay attack. Allow driver to explicitly
indicate that a frame is allowed to have the same PN as the previous
frame.

In some cases, after a sudden AP disappearing and reconnection to
another AP in the same ESS, user space gets the old AP in scan
results (cached). User space may decide to roam to that old AP
which will cause a disconnection and longer recovery.

Since cfg80211 maintains separate BSS table entries for APs if the same
BSSID, SSID pair is seen on multiple channels, it is possible that it
can map the current_bss to a BSS entry on the wrong channel. This
current_bss will not get flushed unless disconnected and cfg80211
reports a wrong channel as the associated channel.
Fix this by introducing a new cfg80211_connect_bss() function which is
similar to cfg80211_connect_result(), but it includes an additional
parameter: the bss the STA is connected to. This allows drivers to
provide the exact bss entry that matches the BSS to which the connection
was completed.

This works on the same implementation principle as
codel*.h, i.e. there's a generic header with
structures and macros and a implementation header
carrying function definitions to include in given,
e.g. driver or module.
The fairness logic comes from
net/sched/sch_fq_codel.c but is generalized so it
is more flexible and easier to re-use.

codel: make it reuseable beyond qdiscs
There's an ongoing effort in fixing wireless
bufferbloat. As part of that fq_codel is being
ported into mac80211. To prevent code duplication
codel.h needs to be slightly modified before it
can be used in mac80211 (or other drivers FWIW).
For more background please see:

It was impossible to include codel.h for the
purpose of having access to codel_params or
codel_vars structure definitions and using them
for embedding in other more complex structures.
This splits allows codel.h itself to be treated
like any other header file while codel_qdisc.h and
codel_impl.h contain function definitions with
logic that was previously in codel.h.
This copies over copyrights and doesn't involve
code changes other than adding a few additional
include directives to net/sched/sch*codel.c.

Commit 751a587ac9 ("route: fix breakage after moving lwtunnel state")
moved lwtstate to the end of dst_entry for 32bit archs. This makes it share
the cacheline with __refcnt which had an unkown effect on performance. For
this reason, the pointer was kept in place for 64bit archs.
However, later performance measurements showed this is of no concern. It
turns out that every performance sensitive path that accesses lwtstate
accesses also struct rtable or struct rt6_info which share the same cache
line.
Thus, to get rid of a few #ifdefs, move the field to the end of the struct
also for 64bit.

There's some inconsistency in current logic determining whether the
link settings of a given interface can be changed; I.e., in all modes
other than the so-called `deault' mode the interfaces are forbidden from
changing the configuration - but even this rule is not applied to all
user APIs that may change the configuration.
Instead, let the core-module [qed] decide whether an interface can change
the configuration by supporting a new API function. We also revise the
current rule, allowing all interfaces to change their configurations while
laying the infrastructure for future modes where an interface would be
blocked from making such a configuration.

10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-04-25
This series contains updates to ixgbe and ixgbevf.
Emil provides several patches, starting with the consolidation of the
logic behind configuring spoof checking. Fixed an issue which was
causing link issues for backplane devices because x550em_a/x devices
did not have a default value for mac->ops.setup_link. Refactored the
ethtool stats to bring the logic closer to how ixgbe handles stats and
sets up per-queue stats for ixgbevf.
Mark adds a new register to wait for previous register writes to complete
before issuing a register read, which is needed when slower links are
in use. Fixed the flow control setup for x550em_a, the incorrect
fc_setup function was being used.
Don added a workaround for empty SFP+ cage crosstalk, since on some
systems the crosstalk could lead to link flap on empty SFP+ cages.
Jake converts ixgbe and ixgbevf to use the BIT() macro.
Alex Duyck adds support for partial GSO segmentation in the case of
tunnels for ixgbe and ixgbevf. Then preps for HyperV by moving the API
negotiation into mac_ops.
Arnd Bergmann provides a fix for the ARM compile warnings in linux-next
by converting the use of a udelay() to msleep().
