In iwlagn the support for spectrum measurement command has been
disabled since v2.6.29 without any requests for it. In addition to this
when this command is indeed enabled it has been found to trigger firmware
SYSASSERT on at least 4965 and 5100 hardware (see
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1952 ). Since then
this code has been bitrotting and cannot just be enabled without porting.
Remove support for spectrum measurement command from iwlagn. It can be
added back if there is a future need and the firmware problem it triggers
has been fixed. Support for the spectrim measurement notification remains
as it has been enabled all the time.
In addition to this remove the 3945 spectrum measurement command Kconfig
option and make this command always supported. The code added by this
enabling is minimal and only run when user triggers a spectrum measurement
request via sysfs.

This switches the iwlwifi driver to use paged skb from linear skb for Rx
buffer. So that it relieves some Rx buffer allocation pressure for the
memory subsystem. Currently iwlwifi (4K for 3945) requests 8K bytes for
Rx buffer. Due to the trailing skb_shared_info in the skb->data,
alloc_skb() will do the next order allocation, which is 16K bytes. This
is suboptimal and more likely to fail when the system is under memory
usage pressure. Switching to paged Rx skb lets us allocate the RXB
directly by alloc_pages(), so that only order 1 allocation is required.
It also adjusts the area spin_lock (with IRQ disabled) protected in the
tasklet because tasklet guarentees to run only on one CPU and the new
unprotected code can be preempted by the IRQ handler. This saves us from
spawning another workqueue to make skb_linearize/__pskb_pull_tail happy
(which cannot be called in hard irq context).
Finally, mac80211 doesn't support paged Rx yet. So we linearize the skb
for all the management frames and software decryption or defragmentation
required data frames before handed to mac80211. For all the other frames,
we __pskb_pull_tail 64 bytes in the linear area of the skb for mac80211
to handle them properly.

This patch removes 4965 from common uCode API structures. Also updates
iwlagn commands with 3945 specific RX command in preparation for 3945 port.
