This patch changes the iwlwifi driver to properly support
monitor interfaces after the filter flags change.
The patch is originally created by Johannes Berg for iwl4965. I fixed some
of the comments and created a similar patch for iwl3945.

This patch give the iwlwifi the ability to support A-MSDU up to 8K
Please notice - in order to work in 8K A-MSDU ucode support is needed,
version 4.44.1.19 (soon to be published). 4K A-MSDU works in current ucode

The iwl3945 and iwl4965 devices share some common structure, but with a
lot of difference split all over. Currently the two drivers share a lot
of headers and use ugly preprocessor magic to manage the difference.
This patch keeps two entirely separate copies of the headers to get rid
of these hacks an ease future development.

This patch do the following 2 things:
1. Make sure we don't add rate 60M part of supported rate in proble request,
some AP does not like that.
2. It is wrong to set priv->active_rate in this function, this will set
it to all avialable rates which might overwrite the mode supported rate.
priv->active_rate should be set by only from iwl_set_rate.
