/*
* mac80211 queues, ACs, hardware queues, FIFOs.
*
* Cf. http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/mac80211/queues
*
* Mac80211 uses the following numbers, which we get as from it
* by way of skb_get_queue_mapping(skb):
*
* VO 0
* VI 1
* BE 2
* BK 3
*
*
* Regular (not A-MPDU) frames are put into hardware queues corresponding
* to the FIFOs, see comments in iwl-prph.h. Aggregated frames get their
* own queue per aggregation session (RA/TID combination), such queues are
* set up to map into FIFOs too, for which we need an AC->FIFO mapping. In
* order to map frames to the right queue, we also need an AC->hw queue
* mapping. This is implemented here.
*
* Due to the way hw queues are set up (by the hw specific modules like
* iwl-4965.c), the AC->hw queue mapping is the identity
* mapping.
