+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementation
+
+This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which
+they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues
+short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs.
+
+The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver -
+queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by
+calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue
+management later without changing drivers using this code.
+
+This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU
+aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.
