rtw88: no more patching needed but a tunable in loader.conf

Hi, as of 0881eb9665dbfc8a53d9914a9dca1f0473ee1acb you do not need to patch your kernel anymore if you have more than 4GB of main memory. If you have a previously applied patch you may want to back that out to avoid conflicts when updating. The underlying problem wasn't fixed yet but I added a tunable to the code to allow you to use a GENERIC kernel and with that I feel okay to also MFC the driver in a few days to stable/13. The man page got updated (wiki will follow soon). You want to add: compat.linuxkpi.skb.mem_limit=1 to your laoder.conf{.local} now and you need a reboot to make it effective. Beware that the "1" is a specific value to limit DMA to 32bit. Other values will not work for the desired results! You can check that the tunable was applied correctly by checking the read-only sysctl of the same name after booting. Enjoy, Bjoern -- Bjoern A. Zeeb r15:7
