OK.

Since we splited the code base for 3945 and 4965 by a simple "fork" of
file iwl-base.c, some non-static functions names remain the same. Make
the two drivers build into vmlinux at the same time will cause conflict.
So to make them depend on m is a current workaround for .24. We will
abstract a common iwl-core.ko and make driver specific iwl3945.ko and
iwl4965.ko depend on it in .25 time frame.
