ea1f8d5c3a [BNX2]: Optimize firmware loading.
This is a follow up to the patches from Denys Vlasenkos
<vda.linux@googlemail.com> to further optimize firmware loading.

1. In bnx2_init_cpus(), we allocate memory for decompression once
and use it repeatedly instead of doing this for every firmware image.

2. We eliminate the BSS and SBSS firmware sections in bnx2_fw*.h since
these are always zeros.

b3448b0bde [BNX2]: factor out gzip unpacker
This patch modifies gzip unpacking code in bnx2 driver so that
it does not depend on bnx2 internals. I will move this code
out of the driver and into zlib in follow-on patch.

It can be useful in other drivers which need to store firmwares
or any other relatively big binary blobs - fonts, cursor bitmaps,
whatever.

Patch is run tested by Michael Chan (driver author).
