[rt2x00-users] [RFC] rt2x00: Implement tx mpdu aggregation

[Helmut Schaa]

In order to implement tx mpdu aggregation we only have to implement
the ampdu_action callback such that mac80211 allows negotiation of
blockack sessions.

The hardware will handle everything on its own as long as the ampdu
flag in the TXWI struct is set up correctly and we translate the tx
status correctly.

For now, refuse requests to start rx aggregation.

This gets me a 10% boost in throughput when actually using tx aggregation ;)
but needs the RFC I sent yesterday.

I didn't try if failed frames get handled correctly but that should be
done in hw as well.

And I'm not sure if this works on usb devices. So maybe we should enable
it only on pci and soc?
