    iwlagn: separate firmware version warning · 5d7969bf

    We sometimes need to support new firmware API for
    a while before we can publish them since testing
    them fully takes a long time. We could keep all
    the new code private, but that causes plenty of
    problems and sometimes we can give a pre-release
    version of firmware to people who need to test.
    However, when we just bump the API version, the
    driver will warn everybody that their firmware is
    outdated, when in fact it isn't. (Currently our
    case for this doesn't really change the API but
    bumping the API version is necessary because the
    firmware isn't fully backward compatible)
    
    In order to handle this in the future, add a new
    "api_ok" version; only below this will the driver
    warn that the uCode is too old.
