Only rate scaling is aware that the packets were transmitted
aggregated, we did some hacking there around this it should be cleaned
up.
I wonder how we're going to pass them down to the driver anyway. And how
about rate control, is that really done per sub-frame? Does that make
any sense? I'm thinking that if we pass a fraglist down for the ampdu,
then we should have the fraglist in tx status too, in one go... If rate
control is per subframe maybe it just needs to be made aware to walk the
fraglist?
