Subject: [ 089/101] iwlwifi: fix 6000 series channel switch command

3.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

commit 8f7b8db6e0557c8437adf9371e020cd89a7e85dc upstream.

The channel switch command for 6000 series devices
is larger than the maximum inline command size of
320 bytes. The command is therefore refused with a
warning. Fix this by allocating the command and
using the NOCOPY mechanism.
