iwl_poll_direct_bit() by letting the latter be a special case of
the former.

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.

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.

iwlwifi does not support AP mode in any way. For one, it doesn't even
buffer multicast/broadcast frames properly. We didn't allow zd1211rw AP
mode to be enabled without this, so iwlwifi shouldn't be allowed to
advertise AP mode either.
It also doesn't work at all, it doesn't even answer to probe requests,
I'm guessing the packet injection code was disabled again.

3945 hardware does not emit the interrupts CSR_INT_BIT_RF_KILL (rfkill
toggled) and CSR_INT_BIT_CT_KILL (adapter too hot). Hence this part of code
can be removed since iwl3945_irq_tasklet does not handle 4965 hw at all.

Patch fixes the ad-hoc mode by
1) Removing redundant clear_stations_table which prevented generation of
beacons.
2) Setting assoc_id to 1. It was never set so preventing tx flow

This enables the custom firmware regulatory solution option
on iwlwifi drivers. These devices are uncapable of mapping their
EEPROM regulatory domain to a specific ISO / IEC alpha2.
Although the new 11n devices (>= iwl 5000) have only
3 regultaory SKUs -- MOW, ABG (no N) and BG -- the older
devices (3945 and 4965) have a more complex SKU arrangement
and therefore its not practical to move this to the driver.

The patch rewrites the mac80211 configure_filter handler to better mapping
mac80211 filter flags to iwlwifi hardware filter flags. We now can support
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.

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.

mac80211 supports multiple virtual interfaces for a single device. For
example, a managed interface (wlan0) and a monitor interface (mon0) can
exist at the same time. Thus priv->iw_mode is not sufficient to track
the wireless mode any more. The patch redefines priv->iw_mode as the
first interface mode (the same as priv->vif->type if priv->vif != NULL).
If another monitor type interface is created later, we don't change
priv->iw_mode into monitor. This way, the original interface still
works. The patch also requests mac80211 to do reassociation after we
change the Rx filter flags.

Remove the SSID from the driver API since now there is no
driver that requires knowing the SSID and I think it's
unlikely that any hardware design that does require the
SSID will play well with mac80211.
This also removes support for setting the SSID in master
mode which will require a patch to hostapd to not try.

When an undirected scan is requested and iwlwifi is not associated but
the user has set an SSID (and maybe was associated with that network at
some point) then iwlwifi will assume the user wanted to scan for this
SSID which seems wrong. Remove this code.
