So, this means that we don't have to worry about the A-MPDU aggregation
for now which is good (tm).

It would be nice to be able to review first the part which creates a
QapWifiMac+QstaWifiMac with a simple non-aggregation-aware EdcaTxop
class. Aggregation capability seems more complex and could be done as a
second step.

Possible review/merge milestones:

1) QstaWifiMac+QapWifiMac+EdcaTxop
2) modified MacLow according to previous discussion
3) extended EdcaTxop using MacLow to implement aggregation

Mathieu
