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.

Add a mutex to block ioctls before the card is fully initialised and
only allow one ioctl at a time.
This stops udev trying to load the firmware before to card is fully up.
patch ported from wlan-ng-devel
Karl Relton <karllinuxtest.relton@ntlworld.com> spotted that this was
missing from the staging version,

Move version identifier into p80211netdev.h and rename it to 0.3.0-staging
to differentiate from the out-of-tree version.
Also remove the unused wlan_ethconv declaration.

The header files contain a few comments, which describe the
function of the header element. Remove them where not needed.

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.

wlan-ng needed to interact with userspace, and support very old kernels,
so it used to define its own types for integers to ensure consistency.
It's all rather irrelevant now.

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.
