All TX queues are prioritized. The the QID value is written into the
TX descriptor,
and that is used in the hardware for prioritization. I am not sure how
the rules are
when there are frames in multiple queues, but I assume the 802.11
specs are followed
on this. ;)

Oh yeah, I actually merged this with the queue refactoring as well..
I did correct some problems inside this patch though.
