Subject: [patch 115/149] iwlwifi: check for aggregation frame and queue

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 45d427001b5eec03cecaacddb53c73af46bb263e upstream.

Error checking for aggregation frames should go into aggregation queue,
if aggregation queue not available, use legacy queue instead.
Also make sure the aggregation queue is available to activate,
if driver and mac80211 is out-of-sync, try to disable the queue and
sync-up with mac80211.
