With the 1:1 hardware queue/txq mapping in iwlwifi (we're close to
getting that patch in, though now the Jewish holidays mean a delay), I'm
not sure we'd be able to do this at all in iwlwifi. So this may not be a
case of porting one at a time until we can get rid of it ...

It would be nice to be able to use it, for better queue behaviour, but
it would mean much more accounting in iwlwifi? Not even sure off the top
of my head how to do that.
