We have had a bug in TX AMPDU in iwldvm for a very long
time. This bug has been raised in many bugzillas and threads
on linux-wireless mailing list.

The bug is in firmware and we won't be able to fix it in the
near future. Hence, we prefer to disable TX AMPDU by default
in iwldvm. This doesn't affect iwlmvm which supports 7160 /
3160 and up.
