Don't see anything missing from the list that I have been working on. Of

I expect Kalle to add this sometime during the upcoming merge window
(which opens tomorrow, according to the PHB crystal ball:
http://phb-crystal-ball.org/).

Haven't submitted a new version of this since the other things went in.
While the basic scheduler works well, there are still some things to
work out before making a serious attempt at upstreaming it (most notably
the interaction with the hardware QoS queues). Also, moving parts of the
code into mac80211 would make it easier to re-use in other drivers. Not
sure which parts, though.

This still needs to be solved, but the hack I posted previously was just
that: A hack. I think a different approach is needed.

LEDE has the previous version of the mac80211 fix and the ath9k patch to
enable the TXQ.
