The patch uses netif_rx_ni() over netif_rx() to post buffers to
upper network code because it is always scheduled in a workqueue.
The problem was first observed from a dynamic ticks warning:
"NOHZ: local_softirq_pending ..."

The patch cleans up the unused rfkill related structures and flags.
It also adds wext and cfg80211 handlers for txpower auto and off so
that software rfkill could be issued by user space.

When we're calling iwm_send_wifi_if_cmd() with the resp flag set, we're
currently waiting on the mlme queue, waiting for some flags here and there to
show up.
This patch adds a wifi_ntfy bitmap, and when we're sending a wifi_if command
expecting an answers, we wait synchronously for it to show up, on a dedicated
queue. The wifi_ntfy bit is set when we receive the corresponding answer.

This driver supports Intel's full MAC wireless multicomm 802.11 hardware.
Although the hardware is a 802.11agn device, we currently only support
802.11ag, in managed and ad-hoc mode (no AP mode for now).
