Hi John,

One single patch for this pull request for 3.14.

As explicitly written in the commit message, we prefer to disable Tx AMPDU on NICs supported by iwldvm. This feature gives a big boost in Tx performance, but the firmware is buggy and we can't rely on it. Our hope is that most of the users out there want wifi to surf on the web which means that they care more for Rx traffic than for Tx. People who want to enable it can do so with the help of a module parameter.

Please pull - thanks.
