why lowercase that?

The ampdu_len seems ok, but I'm still not convinced this is right.
Drivers _should_ have enough space in the driver parts of this struct,
and not need flags here. I realise that you do need that because of the
RC and other internal things, but maybe you could simply use "pad[0]"
for that so not to encourage others to start doing this too?
