cfg80211: make regdom module parameter available oustide of OLD_REG
It seems a few users are using this module parameter although its not recommended. People are finding it useful despite there being utilities for setting this in userspace. I'm not aware of any distribution using this though. Until userspace and distributions catch up with a default userspace automatic replacement (GeoClue integration would be nirvana) we copy the ieee80211_regdom module parameter from OLD_REG to the new reg code to help these users migrate. Users who are using the non-valid ISO / IEC 3166 alpha "EU" in their ieee80211_regdom module parameter and migrate to non-OLD_REG enabled system will world roam. This also schedules removal of this same ieee80211_regdom module parameter circa March 2010. Hope is by then nirvana is reached and users will abandoned the module parameter completely.
