Subject: [PATCH 4/4] iwl3945: workaround for firmware frame tx rejection

Firmware can reject to transmit frame on passive channel, when it
did not yet received any frame with valid CRC on that channel.
Workaround this problem in the driver.

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] iwlegacy: add il_{stop,wake}_queues_by_reason functions

Add functions that will stop/wake all queues. Make them safe
regarding multiple calls and when some ac are stopped/woke
independently.
