Sorry, I know I'm bad about not sending 'applied' messages.  But this
series is already in wireless-next-2.6 and wireless-testing...

    mac80211: enable QoS explicitly in AP mode
    
    Enable QoS explicitly, when user space AP program will setup a QoS
    queues. Currently this is not needed as iwlwifi not work in AP mode
    and no other driver implement enable/disable QoS.

    iwlwifi: manage QoS by mac stack
    
    We activate/deactivate QoS and setup default queue parameters in iwlwifi
    driver. Mac stack do the same, so we do not need repeat that work here.
    Stack also will tell when disable QoS, this will fix driver when working
    with older APs, that do not have QoS implemented.
    
    Patch make "force = true" in iwl_active_qos() assuming we always want
    to do with QoS what mac stack wish.
    
    Patch also remove unused qos_cap bits, do not initialize qos_active = 0,
    as we have it initialized to zero by kzalloc.

    mac80211: explicitly disable/enable QoS
    
    Add interface to disable/enable QoS (aka WMM or WME). Currently drivers
    enable it explicitly when ->conf_tx method is called, and newer disable.
    Disabling is needed for some APs, which do not support QoS, such
    we should send QoS frames to them.
