Move prism2 firmware loading from userspace into driver, using linux
request_firmware(). Firmware is now loaded (if available) on device
probing, before it is registered as a netdevice and advertised to userspace.

The next step is to bypass the MIB calling mechanism altogether and just
invoke the hardware directly where needed, but at least now the list has
been paired down considerably.

This adds the wlan-ng prism2 USB driver to the drivers/staging tree.
The code was originally written by the linux-wlan-ng team, patched by
some Novell engineers to properly work on newer kernels, and then hacked
into place in order to get it to build properly in a single subdirectory
within the kernel tree by me.
It supports a wide range of older USB prism2 devices, and contains a
80211 stack to support this single driver.
