Subject: iwlegacy Kconfig mess

I just did an make from my old config and noticed my wireless got
lost, but then I went looking for it and saw the Kconfig for iwlegacy.

Why is IWLWIFI_LEGACY a selectable config which the drivers depend on?
it also has no help text. Surely it would make more sense for the two
drivers to select it and have it not appear at all.

Dave.
