Add support for C-step devices.  Currently we don't have a nice way of
matching the step and choosing the proper configuration, so we need to
switch the config structs one by one.

Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs:

   - A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more
     than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with
     other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on
     the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on.

   - A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos,
     and one on Spectre vulnerabilities.

   - Various improvements to the build system, including automatic
     markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I
     will never understand, were of the opinion that
     :c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type.

   - We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4.

   - Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc"

iwl_mvm_send_cmd returns 0 when the command won't be sent
because RF-Kill is asserted. Do the same when we call
iwl_get_shared_mem_conf since it is not sent through
iwl_mvm_send_cmd but directly calls the transport layer.

Sometimes the register status can include interrupts that
were masked. We can, for example, get the RF-Kill bit set
in the interrupt status register although this interrupt
was masked. Then if we get the ALIVE interrupt (for example)
that was not masked, we need to *not* service the RF-Kill
interrupt.
Fix this in the MSI-X interrupt handler.

Newest devices have a new firmware load mechanism. This
mechanism is called the context info. It means that the
driver doesn't need to load the sections of the firmware.
The driver rather prepares a place in DRAM, with pointers
to the relevant sections of the firmware, and the firmware
loads itself.
At the end of the process, the firmware sends the ALIVE
interrupt. This is different from the previous scheme in
which the driver expected the FH_TX interrupt after each
section being transferred over the DMA.

In order to support this new flow, we enabled all the
interrupts. This broke the assumption that we have in the
code that the RF-Kill interrupt can't interrupt the firmware
load flow.

Change the context info flow to enable only the ALIVE
interrupt, and re-enable all the other interrupts only
after the firmware is alive. Then, we won't see the RF-Kill
interrupt until then. Getting the RF-Kill interrupt while
loading the firmware made us kill the firmware while it is
loading and we ended up dumping garbage instead of the firmware
state.

Re-enable the ALIVE | RX interrupts from the ISR when we
get the ALIVE interrupt to be able to get the RX interrupt
that comes immediately afterwards for the ALIVE
notification. This is needed for non MSI-X only.
