Subject: [35/74] iwlwifi: set default aggregation frame count limit to 31

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@...el.com>

commit 4d80d7210bb5a36a18978d1305b44375ecb857d9 upstream.

Multiple MPDUs can be aggregated, transmitted, and finally acknowledged
together using a single BA frame. Block ACK (BA) contains
bitmap size of 64*16 bits so the maximum frame count is 64.
The default value of aggregation frame count suggested by uCode is 31 to
achieve best performance.
