Based on the mac80211's TXQ implementation, TX-AMSDU can
be used to get higher MAC efficiency. To make mac80211
aggregate MSDUs, low level driver just need to leave skbs
in the TXQ, and mac80211 will try to aggregate them if
possible. As driver will schedule a tasklet when the TX
queue is woke, until the tasklet being served, there will
have some skbs in the queue if traffic is heavy.

Driver can control the max AMSDU size depending on the
current bit rate used by hardware/firmware. The higher
rates are used, the larger AMSDU size can be.

It is tested that can achieve higher T-Put at higher rates.
If the environment is relatively clean, and the bit_rate
is high enough, we can get about 80Mbps improvement.

For lower bit rates, not much gain can we get, so leave
the max_amsdu length low to prevent aggregation.
