iwlagn: do not use interruptible waits
Since the dawn of its time, iwlwifi has used
interruptible waits to wait for synchronous
commands and firmware loading.
This leads to "interesting" bugs, because it
can't actually handle the interruptions; for
example when a command sending is interrupted
it will assume the command completed fully,
and then leave it pending, which leads to all
kinds of trouble when the command finishes
later.
Since there's no easy way to gracefully deal
with interruptions, fix the driver to not use
interruptible waits.
This at least fixes the error
iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: Error: Response NULL in 'REPLY_SCAN_ABORT_CMD'
I have seen in P2P testing, but it is likely
that there are other errors caused by this.

iwlagn: fix command queue timeout
If the command queue is constantly busy,
which can happen in P2P, the hangcheck
timer will frequently find a command in
it and will eventually reset the device
because nothing sets the timestamp for
this queue when commands are processed.
Fix this by setting the timestamp when
a command completes.
iwlegacy does not support P2P, but this patch fix possible
unneeded hardware resets, hence is needed.

We mark command as huge by using meta->flags from other (non huge) command,
but flags can be possibly overridden, when non huge command is enqueued,
what can lead to:
WARNING: at lib/dma-debug.c:696 dma_debug_device_change+0x1a3/0x1f0()
DMA-API: device driver has pending DMA allocations while released from device [count=1]
To fix introduce additional CMD_MAPPED to mark command as mapped and
serialize iwl_enqueue_hcmd() with iwl_tx_cmd_complete() using
hcmd_lock. Serialization will also fix possible race conditions,
because q->read_ptr, q->write_ptr are modified/used in parallel.
Do not change callback, I did (and fixed) that mistake in iwlagn.

Intel WiFi devices 3945 and 4965 now have their own driver in the folder
drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy
Add support to build these drivers independently of the driver for
AGN devices. Selecting the 3945 builds iwl3945.ko and iwl_legacy.ko,
and selecting the 4965 builds iwl4965.ko and iwl_legacy.ko. iwl-legacy.ko
contains code shared between both devices.
The 3945 is an ABG/BG device, with no support for 802.11n. The 4965 is a 2x3
ABGN device.
