1554ed2088 iwlwifi: pcie: use shadow registers for updating write pointer
The RX queues have a shadow register for the write pointer
that enables updates without grabbing NIC access. Use them
instead of the periphery registers because accessing those
is much more expensive.

7b5424361e iwlwifi: pcie: fine tune number of rxbs
We kick the allocator when we have 2 RBDs that don't have
attached RBs, and the allocator allocates 8 RBs meaning
that it needs another 6 RBDs to attach the RBs to.
The design is that allocator should always have enough RBDs
to fulfill requests, so we give in advance 6 RBDs to the
allocator so that when it is kicked, it gets additional 2 RBDs
and has enough RBDs.
These RBDs were taken from the Rx queue itself, meaning
that each Rx queue didn't have the maximal number of
RBDs, but MAX - 6.
Change initial number of RBDs in the system to include both
queue size and allocator reserves.
Note the multi-queue is always 511 instead of 512 to avoid a
full queue since we cannot detect this state easily enough in
the 9000 arch.

88076015f8 iwlwifi: pcie: configure more RFH settings
Fine tune RFH registers further:
* Set default queue explicitly
* Set RFH to drop frames exceeding RB size
* Set the maximum rx transfer size to DRAM to 128 instead of 64

96a6497bc3 iwlwifi: pcie: add 9000 series multi queue rx DMA support
The 9000 series introduces several changes in the device
DMA operation.
As the device now supports multi-queue rx, several DMA channels
should be configured.
The flows of providing the device with the allocated RBDs now
changes as well - the device maintains a separate table of used
and free table.

The hardware may use the free table to feed RBDs to any queue.
This requires maintaing a shared table to map returned RBDs to
the original RXB - for that purpose the VID is introduced - an
internal identifier of the RB placed in the lower 12 bits and
returned by HW in the used data.

Another change is the support of 64 bit DMA address.
