[PATCH] ipw2200: always enable frequently used debugging code
Moving part of the debugging code from IPW_DEBUG to IPW_LL_DEBUG (low level
debugging) and make IPW_DEBUG be always enabled. IPW_LL_DEBUG still needs
to be enabled by selecting CONFIG_IPW2200_DEBUG. But it is highly
deprecated for normal users since it adds higher debug verbosity in driver
hot paths.
