Add ath6kl cleaned up driver

Last May we started working on cleaning up ath6kl driver which is
currently in staging. The work has happened in a separate
ath6kl-cleanup tree:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath6kl-cleanup.git;a=summary

After over 1100 (!) patches we have now reached a state where I would
like to start discussing about pushing the driver to the wireless
trees and replacing the staging driver.

The driver is now a lot smaller and looks like a proper Linux driver.
The size of the driver (measured with simple wc -l) dropped from 49
kLOC to 18 kLOC and the number of the .c and .h files dropped from 107
to 22. Most importantly the number of subdirectories reduced from 26
to zero :)

There are two remaining checkpatch warnings in the driver which we
decided to omit for now:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/debug.c:31:
  WARNING: printk() should include KERN_ facility level
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/sdio.c:527:
  WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms;
  see Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt

The driver has endian annotations for all the hardware specific
structures and there are no sparse errors. Unfortunately I don't have
any big endian hardware to test that right now.

We have been testing the driver both on x86 and arm platforms. The
code is also compiled with sparc and parisc cross compilers.

Notable missing features compared to the current staging driver are:

o HCI over SDIO support
o nl80211 testmode
o firmware logging
o suspend support

Testmode, firmware logging and suspend support will be added soon. HCI
over SDIO support will be more difficult as the HCI driver needs to
share code with the wifi driver. This is something we need to research
more.

Also I want to point out the changes I did for signed endian support.
As I wasn't able to find any support for signed endian annotations I
decided to follow what NTFS has done and added my own. Grep for sle16
and sle32, especially from wmi.h.

Various people have been working on the cleanup, the hall of
fame based on number of patches is:

+	 * we know that response data is available.
+	 *
+	 * This allows us to cleanly timeout on an unexpected
+	 * Target failure rather than risk problems at the HIF level.
+	 * In particular, this avoids SDIO timeouts and possibly garbage
+	 * data on some host controllers.  And on an interconnect
+	 * such as Compact Flash (as well as some SDIO masters) which
+	 * does not provide any indication on data timeout, it avoids
+	 * a potential hang or garbage response.
+	 *
+	 * Synchronization is more difficult for reads larger than the
+	 * size of the MBOX FIFO (128B), because the Target is unable
+	 * to push the 129th byte of data until AFTER the Host posts an
+	 * HIF Read and removes some FIFO data.  So for large reads the
+	 * Host proceeds to post an HIF Read BEFORE all the data is
+	 * actually available to read.  Fortunately, large BMI reads do
+	 * not occur in practice -- they're supported for debug/development.
+	 *
+	 * So Host/Target BMI synchronization is divided into these cases:
+	 *  CASE 1: length < 4
+	 *        Should not happen
+	 *
+	 *  CASE 2: 4 <= length <= 128
+	 *        Wait for first 4 bytes to be in FIFO
+	 *        If CONSERVATIVE_BMI_READ is enabled, also wait for
+	 *        a BMI command credit, which indicates that the ENTIRE
+	 *        response is available in the the FIFO
+	 *
+	 *  CASE 3: length > 128
+	 *        Wait for the first 4 bytes to be in FIFO
+	 *
+	 * For most uses, a small timeout should be sufficient and we will
+	 * usually see a response quickly; but there may be some unusual
+	 * (debug) cases of BMI_EXECUTE where we want an larger timeout.
+	 * For now, we use an unbounded busy loop while waiting for
+	 * BMI_EXECUTE.
+	 *
+	 * If BMI_EXECUTE ever needs to support longer-latency execution,
+	 * especially in production, this code needs to be enhanced to sleep
+	 * and yield.  Also note that BMI_COMMUNICATION_TIMEOUT is currently
+	 * a function of Host processor speed.
