iwl4965: report A-MPDU status
RFC 1/1 iwl4965: report A-MPDU status
Since the firmware will give us an A-MPDU bit and only a single PHY information packet for all the subframes in an A-MPDU, we can easily report the minimal A-MPDU information for radiotap.

Just two things.

iwlwifi: report A-MPDU status
2. RX_RES_PHY_FLAGS_ANTENNA_MSK
I had the chance to test this with a real 4965. As far as I can tell, the hardware has just 3 antenna connectors. But I have seen frames, which apparently have been received on 4 antennas?!
Note: iwlwifi had this problem as well. It was fixed by:

iwlwifi: fix antenna bitmask
I suppose 4965 also uses the 4th bit as the AMPDU indicator. It would be very helpful if someone could confirm this assumption. [Otherwise the whole AMPDU status feature patch has little use].
(BTW: wireshark 1.9.0+ already supports the AMPDU_DETAILS radiotap extension.)

I can't easily verify this this right now, but I think it's a safe bet since no iwlegacy/iwlwifi device exists that supports 4 antennas, and the definition in question has always been the same for all hardware. I just didn't fix it for 4965 since it was split off to iwlegacy already.
