pull-request: mac80211-next next-2019-11-22

Hi Dave,

Here's a final pull request for -next. I know I'm cutting it close, but
the only interesting new thing here is AQL (airtime queue limits) which
has been under discussion and heavy testing for quite a while, so I
wanted to still get it in.

Please pull and let me know if there's any problem.

Thanks,
johannes

  mac80211: Use Airtime-based Queue Limits (AQL) on packet dequeue (2019-11-22 13:36:25 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
The interesting new thing here is AQL, the Airtime Queue Limit
patchset from Kan Yan (Google) and Toke Høiland-Jørgensen (Redhat).
The effect is intended to eventually be similar to BQL, but byte
queue limits are not useful in wifi where the actual throughput can
vary by around 4 orders of magnitude. There are more details in the
patches themselves.
