This patch is for adding a new module parameter "frameburst".
With setting "frameburst=1" in module parameters, firmware frameburst mode
will be enabled. The feature can enable per-packet framebursting in
firmware side and get higher TX throughput in High Throughput(HT) mode.
So why not always enable it in firmware as it seems to be the default in
recent firmware anyway.

Arend
