Ok. That means it can go away with the stuff I'm doing right now.

Heh ok, then instead of fixing iwlwifi I'll just fix up mac80211 and
give you the patches to look at aggregation, seeing that Ron is on
vacation for another week.

What I discussed with Ron (and Jouni) is that we should not use extra
software queues for aggregation, because
- doing it requires requeue which is not possible with tx info intact
- doing it breaks access semantics in the case where not just hw but
also sw queues start filling up
