Switch driver over from wext to cfg80211 interface.
Some Notes:
- This patch moves the driver wholesale from wext to cfg80211. Wext
support is still provided through the cfg80211 provided wext
compatability layer.
- Currently only infrastructure mode is implemented. Ad hoc mode is not
yet implemented, but can be added.
- It does not support connecting to a specified bssid, instead roaming
is handled by the card itself. This matches the behaviour of the
existing driver.
- It has been tested using NetworkManager (via wpa_supplicant)
configured to use the wext compatability layer, and then again with the
native nl80211 layer.

There is no need trying to load the (even in most cases) not availible
firmware after suspend. This saves about 30 secounds on reset waiting
for timeout.

This is a patch to the prism2usb.c that fixes one line which was over
the 80 character limit by wrapping it to a new line and removes a
commented out configuration for a ZyDAS ZD1201 device since support for
this device with this driver is now deprecated.

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,

Remove the ugly DBFENTER/DBFEXIT macros, which are only inserted to add "<---" and
"--->" at the function start/end at higher debug levels and which make the code
a lot less readable.

There's no point in having a separate 'p80211' module, as nobody else is
ever going to use it. Push everyting into a single module, and get rid
of all exports.
