Yes, if we do not have a fix soon we'll need to revert. If so, then we
should also revert:

wifi: iwlwifi: keep the TSO and workaround pages mapped
wifi: iwlwifi: map entire SKB when sending AMSDUs

as well as the related bugfix:
wifi: iwlwifi: correctly reference TSO page information

Otherwise there is a performance impact as DMA mapping is effectively
done twice.
