Subject: [RFC 1/2] mac80211: add private driver flags and ampdu length to
 tx info
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org
List-ID: <linux-wireless.vger.kernel.org>

Some drivers may want to store a few flags of their own in the tx 
info. Also it is useful for 11n rate control to know the total number
of aggregated frames in an AMPDU, not just the ones that were acked.
Use two previously unused padding bytes to store those two values
