Finally! This is what you've all been waiting for!
This patch makes cfg80211 take care of wext emulation
_completely_ by itself, drivers that don't need things
cfg80211 doesn't do yet don't even need to be aware of
wireless extensions.
This means we can also clean up mac80211's and iwm's
Kconfig and make it possible to build them w/o wext
now!
RIP wext.

iwm_wdev_alloc() returns an ERR_PTR on failure and not null. It also
prints its own dev_err() message so I removed that as well.
Compile tested only. Sorry.

The driver private data is now based on wiphy. So we should not
touch the private data after wiphy_free() is called. The patch
fixes the potential NULL pointer dereference by making the
iwm_wdev_free() the last one on the interface removal path.

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 the interface is down and one sets a WEP key from userspace, we should
be able to simply cache it.
Since that implies setting part of the profile's security settings, we now
alloc/free the umac_profile at probe/remove time, and no longer at interface
bring up/down time. Simply resetting it during the latter is enough.

We used to do alloc_netdev and register_netdev at the same time in
iwm_if_alloc. But some bus related structures will only be initialized
after iwm_priv is allocated. This caused a race condition that the
netdev might be registered earlier. The patch adds iwm_if_add and
iwm_if_remove so that the bus layer could register the device after
all initialization is done.

We need to check for iwm_priv_init() errors and do proper cleanups.
Otherwise we may fail to catch the create_singlethread_workqueue()
error which will cause a kernel oops when destroy_workqueue() later.

Which means removing all rfkill code since it only does
soft-kill which cfg80211 will now handle in exactly the
same way the driver did.

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).
