+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: when using iTXQ, select the queue in
+ ieee80211_subif_start_xmit
+
+When using iTXQ, the network stack does not need the real queue number, since
+mac80211 is using its internal queues anyway. In that case we can defer
+selecting the queue and remove a redundant station lookup in the tx path to save
+some CPU cycles.
