Consolidate allocation of firmware buffers. In the process, remove
duplication of a workaround for an old symbol firmware bug, and fix a
bug where we could retry the workaround, even if it already failed to
help.

Don't attempt to manually set the channel in infrastructure mode, the
firmware doesn't like that much. Also don't attempt to override the
firmware's default channel number for IBSS mode (I believe default
channel can vary by regulatory domain).

Remove the dump_recs debugging iwpriv command. It will be replaced
later with the simpler and more flexible get_rid command.

Adds an ignore_disconnect module parameter. When enabled, the driver
will continue attempting to send packets even when the firmware has
told us we've lost our link to the AP. On some firmwares this
substantially increases the usable range of the card (presumably
because we have an interrmittent connection, but the firmware is able
to queue the packets for us until we're connected again). On some
other cards, it causes the firmware to fall in a screaming heap :(
(hence, default off).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
