H A Dif_ath_rx_edma.cdiff 248529 Tue Mar 19 17:34:00 MDT 2013 adrian Break out the RX completion path into "FIFO check / refill" and
"complete RX frames."

The 128 entry RX FIFO is really easy to fill up and miss refilling
when it's done in the ath taskq - as that gets blocked up doing
RX completion, TX completion and other random things.

So the 128 entry RX FIFO now gets emptied and refilled in the ath_intr()
task (and it grabs / releases locks, so now ath_intr() can't just be
a FAST handler yet!) but the locks aren't held for very long. The
completion part is done in the ath taskqueue context.

Details:

* Create a new completed frame list - sc->sc_rx_rxlist;
* Split the EDMA RX process queue into two halves - one that
processes the RX FIFO and refills it with new frames; another
that completes the completed frame list;
* When tearing down the driver, flush whatever is in the deferred
queue as well as what's in the FIFO;
* Create two new RX methods - one that processes all RX queues,
one that processes the given RX queue. When MSI is implemented,
we get told which RX queue the interrupt came in on so we can
specifically schedule that. (And I can do that with the non-MSI
path too; I'll figure that out later.)
* Convert the legacy code over to use these new RX methods;
* Replace all the instances of the RX taskqueue enqueue with a call
to a relevant RX method to enqueue one or all RX queues.

Tested:

* AR9380, STA
* AR9580, STA
* AR5413, STA
