The low-ram thing is for people using OpenWRT on low-powered AP boards.  We don't
need it for our test equipment.

Hopefully someone can test Paul Fertser's patches, and if they work well, then can
be applied to OpenWRT.

Maybe later we can conditionally compile it directly into ath10k-ct instead of having
the extra patch in OpenWRT.

Thanks,
Ben
