While ar9170's USB transport packet size is currently set to 8KiB,
the PHY is capable of receiving AMPDUs with up to 64KiB.
Such a large frame will be split over several rx URBs and
exceed the previously allocated space for rx stream reconstruction.
This patch increases the buffer size to 64KiB which is
in fact the phy & rx stream designed size limit.

This patch aggregates a bunch of small random changes
that won't fit really anywhere else properly.
1. move tid-locating macro into a separate function.
2. remove redundant NULL check.
3. add modulation mask definition

The current A-MPDU tx_status report mechanism is too inaccurate.
With this patch BlockACK frames show now up to the driver and
can be processed.

This patch is a back-port from aggregation testing code.
In the past, we didn't limit the amount of active tx urbs.
However, ar9170 only has a limited buffer reserved for
pending data frames.
This wasn't much of a problem with the slower 802.11b/g.
We simply stopped the full queue and moved on to something different
in the mean time. But - as you guessed it - this simple approach
stands in way for a decent aggregation implementation.

This patch only contains a few uncritical updates for the
hardware definition header.

Otus uses slightly different set of "Minimum MPDU Start Spacing" values
than the 802.11n D2.0 specifies. (the whole table is shifted by one and
therefore the 16us spacing is not officially available!)
And while we're at it, we also initialize our MAC's density register.
So, this annoying _feature_ will not break TX A-MPDU later.

With this patch ar9170 is capable of receiving aggregated 802.11n frames
and sniffing on most networks without having a "debug message overhead".
