Move the paprd state initialization and sequence number assignment

This not only simplifies buffer allocation error handling, but also

TX underruns were noticed when RTS/CTS preceded aggregates.
This issue was noticed in ar93xx family of chipsets only.
The workaround involves padding the RTS or CTS length up
to the min packet length of 256 bytes required by the

The current ath9k tx queue handling code showed a few issues that could
lead to locking issues, tx stalls due to stopped queues, and maybe even
DMA issues.
The main source of these issues is that in some places the queue is
selected via skb queue mapping in places where this mapping may no
longer be valid. One such place is when data frames are transmitted via
the CAB queue (for powersave buffered frames). This is made even worse
by a lookup WMM AC values from the assigned tx queue (which is
undefined for the CAB queue).
This messed up the pending frame counting, which in turn caused issues
with queues getting stopped, but not woken again.
To fix these issues, this patch removes an unnecessary abstraction
separating a driver internal queue number from the skb queue number
(not to be confused with the hardware queue number).
It seems that this abstraction may have been necessary because of tx
queue preinitialization from the initvals. This patch avoids breakage
here by pushing the software <-> hardware queue mapping to the function
that assigns the tx queues and redefining the WMM AC definitions to
match the numbers used by mac80211 (also affects ath9k_htc).
To ensure consistency wrt. pending frame count tracking, these counters
are moved to the ath_txq struct, updated with the txq lock held, but
only where the tx queue selected by the skb queue map actually matches
the tx queue used by the driver for the frame.

We have seen several DMA races when we race against
stopping and starting the PCU. I suspect that when
we cannot stop the PCU we may hit some of these same
races so warn against them for now but only when
debugging (CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG) is enabled.
If you run into this warning and are a developer,
please fix the cause of the warning. The potential
here, although I cannot prove yet, is that the DMA
engine can be confused and start writing to a buffer
that was already DMA'd before and at least the kernel
assumes is not being accessed by hardware anymore.

assumes the worst case wrt. alignment and generates unaligned load/store

this part into separate functions, replacing all calls to
ath9k_hw_set_interrupts(ah, 0) with ath9k_hw_disable_interrupts(ah).
ath9k_hw_set_interrupts(ah, ah->imask) only gets changed to

This updates the initvals for the AR9003 2.2 chipsets. The initvals
are the initial register values we use for our registers upon hardware
reset. This synchs up the initvals to match what our latest recommendation
from our systems engineering team.
The description of changes in this update:
Improves ability to support very strong Rx conditions.
Enhances DFS support for AP-mode.
Improves performance of Tx carrier leak calibration.
Adds support for Japan channel 14 Tx filtering requirements.
Improves Tx power accuracy.
Impact:
Update required to address degraded throughput at very short range.
Update required for AP-mode DFS certification.
Update required to comply to IEEE Tx carrier leak specification.
May not meet expected +/- 2 dB Tx power accuracy without update.
The most important fix here would be the TX carrier leakage required
to comply with IEEE 802.11 specifications. The group of changes have
been tested all together in one release.
