    if_iwm - Add basic powermanagement support via ifconfig wlan0 powersave.
    
    * The DEVICE_POWER_FLAGS_CAM_MSK flag was removed in the upstream iwlwifi
      in Linux commit ceef91c89480dd18bb3ac51e91280a233d0ca41f.
    
    * Add sc_ps_disabled flag to struct iwm_softc, which corresponds to
      mvm->ps_disabled in struct iwl_mvm in Linux iwlwifi.
    
    * Adds a hw.iwm.power_scheme tunable which corresponds to the power_scheme
      module parameter in Linux iwlwifi. Set this to 1 for completely
      disabling power management, 2 (default) for balanced powermanagement,
      and 3 for lowerpower mode (which does dtim period skipping).
    
    * Imports the constants.h file from iwlwifi as if_iwm_constants.h.
    
    * This doesn't allow changing the powermanagement setting while connected,
      also one can only choose between enabled and disabled powersaving with
      ifconfig (so switching between balanced and low-power mode requires
      rebooting to change the tunable).
    
    * After any changes to powermanagement (i.e. "ifconfig wlan0 powersave" to
      enable powermanagement, or "ifconfig wlan0 -powersave" for disabling
      powermanagement), one has to disconnect and reconnect to the accespoint
      for the change to take effect.
