d20b3c65f2 iwl3945: iwl3945_queue and iwl3945_channel_info replacement
This patch replaces the queue and channel info 3945 structures with the iwl
ones.

The initial goal was to replace the channel info structure. Once we do that,
and then include iwl-dev.h instead of iwl-3945.h, we still get build errors
due to several routines and macro redefinitions. This is why this patch also
includes:
- TFD39_MAX_PAYLOAD definition for 3945.
- CMD_SIZE, CMD_HUGE, CMD_SKB duplication removal.
- iwl3945_queue replacement in order to also get rid of the duplicated
get_cmd_index routine.

Getting rid of any of those needs the iwl-dev.h inclusion which then creates
build errors due to definitions duplication. This is why we include all those
in the same patch.

In function iwl_send_cmd_sync(), if the flag CMD_WANT_SKB is set but
we are not provided with a valid SKB (cmd->meta.u.skb == NULL), we need
to remove the CMD_WANT_SKB flag from the TX cmd queue. Otherwise in case
the cmd comes in later, it will possibly set an invalid address. Thus
it causes an invalid memory access.

b7a530d82c mac80211: Disable requests for new scans in AP mode
AP mode operations are seriously affected if mac80211 runs through a
multi-second scan while the AP is trying to send Beacon frames on the
operation channel. While this could be implemented in a way that does
not cause too many problems, it is not very simple and will require
synchronization with Beacon frame scheduling in the drivers (scan one
channel at a time between Beacon frames). Furthermore, such scanning
takes quite a bit longer time and existing userspace applications
would be likely to timeout while waiting for the results.

For now, just refuse requests for new scans (SIOCSIWSCAN) when in AP
mode. In practice, this moves the rejection from iwl* drivers into
mac80211 to make it apply to every mac80211-based driver.

This issue shows up in associated stations getting disconnected when
something (e.g., Network Manager) requests a scan while the interface
is in AP mode. When doing this continuously (e.g., NM does it every 120
seconds), the network gets close to useless.

011a03300b iwl3945 : Fix a-band association for passive channels
Patch does following things
    1) This patch fixes the a-band association for passive channels with new
    uCode feature that it allows direct scan on passive channels after
    auto-switch from passive to active. This enables sending of direct probes
    on passive channels, as long as some traffic is detected on that channel.
    This improves the scanning for hidden SSIDs in A-band,which is all
    passive channels.

    This patch fixes the bug no 1748.

        http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1748

    2) This fix will only work with uCode version 15.28.2.8 and above.
    Prior versions of uCode would work only if we heard the traffic within
     active dwell time, which is much shorter than passive dwell time and
    is shorter than typical beacon periods. This patch also provids full
    active dwell time even if we hear traffic late in passive dwell.

    3) uCode API version is incremented to 2.

a0987a8d68 iwlwifi: rely on API version read from firmware
This adds the infrastructure to support older firmware APIs.
The API version number is stored as part of the filename, we first try to
load the most recent firmware and progressively try lower versions.
The API version is also read from the firmware self and stored as part
of the iwl_priv structure. Only firmware that is supported by driver will
be loaded. The version number read from firmware is compared
to supported versions in the driver not the API version used as part of
filename.

An example using this new infrastrucure:
   if (IWL_UCODE_API(priv->ucode_ver) >= 2) {
        Driver interacts with Firmware API version >= 2.
   } else {
        Driver interacts with Firmware API version 1.

5 mac80211 filter flags: FIF_OTHER_BSS, FIF_ALLMULTI, FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS,
FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC and FIF_CONTROL. This patch also avoids reconnecting
if the filter flags are changed when the STA is associated. Because rx_assoc
is used when full rxon is not necessary.

9bdf5ecabf iwl3945: fix resume for ADHOC network
ieee80211_notify_mac only reconnect BSS networks. Since IBSS does
 not need any auth or assoc steps we can just resume to the same
 condition before suspend. This patch will reestablish the ad-hoc
 network once it comes back from resume.

8e3bad65a5 mac80211: remove ieee80211_notify_mac
Before ieee80211_notify_mac() was added, it was presented with the
use case of using it to tell mac80211 that the association may
have been lost because the firmware crashed/reset.

Since then, it has also been used by iwlwifi to (slightly) speed
up re-association after resume, a workaround around the fact that
mac80211 has no suspend/resume handling yet. It is also not used
by any other drivers, so clearly it cannot be necessary for "good
enough" suspend/resume.

Unfortunately, the callback suffers from a severe problem: It only
works for station mode. If suspend/resume happens while in IBSS or
any other mode (but station), then the callback is pointless.

Recently, it has created a number of locking issues, first because
it required rtnl locking rather than RCU due to calling sleeping
functions within the critical section, and now because it's called
by iwlwifi from the mac80211 workqueue that may not use the rtnl
because it is flushed under rtnl.
(cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12046)

I think, therefore, that we should take a step back, remove it
entirely for now and add the small feature it provided properly.
For suspend and resume we will need to introduce new hooks, and for
the case where the firmware was reset the driver will probably
simply just pretend it has done a suspend/resume cycle to get
mac80211 to reprogram the hardware completely, not just try to
connect to the current AP again in station mode. When doing so, we
will need to take into account locking issues and possibly defer
to schedule_work from within mac80211 for the resume operation,
while the suspend operation must be done directly.

Proper suspend/resume should also not necessarily try to reconnect
to the current AP, the time spent in suspend may have been short
enough to not be disconnected from the AP, mac80211 will detect
that the AP went out of range quickly if it did, and if the
association is lost then the AP will disassoc as soon as a data
frame is sent. We might also take into account WWOL then, and
have mac80211 program the hardware into such a mode where it is
available and requested.
