This changes the b43-PIO code to use the new SSB block-I/O.
This reduces the overhead by removing lots of function calls, pointer
dereferencing, if-conditionals any byteswapping for each packet data word.
This also fixes a harmless sparse endianness warning.

This adds PIO support back (D'oh!) for PCMCIA devices.
This is a complete rewrite of the old PIO code. It does actually work
and we get reasonable performance out of it on a modern machine.
On a PowerBook G4 I get a few MBit for TX and a few more for RX.
So it doesn't work as well as DMA (of course), but it's a _lot_ faster
than the old PIO code (only got a few kBit with that).
The limiting factor is the host CPU speed. So it will generate 100%
CPU usage when the network interface is heavily loaded. A voluntary preemption
point in the RX path makes sure Desktop Latency isn't hurt.
PIO is needed for 16bit PCMCIA devices, as we really don't want to poke with
the braindead DMA mechanisms on PCMCIA sockets. Additionally, not all
PCMCIA sockets do actually support DMA in 16bit mode (mine doesn't).

The bridge code was unnecessary enabled by the b44
driver, but it prevents the bcm43xx driver from
being loaded, as the bridge claims the same pci ids.
Now we enable the birdge only if the b43{legacy}
drivers are selected.

This adds a new Kconfig option for enabling probing of N-PHYs.
This option will be removed again once the stuff works.
For now it is to help in development. This way real users won't
execute the broken N-PHY codepaths, but the developers can easily
enable N-PHY stuff.
To enable N-PHY probing simply remove the BROKEN dependency
and enable the option in the kernel config.

Remove b43 PIO support.
DMA works well on all supported devices. There's no reason to use PIO.
Additionally, new devices don't support PIO in hardware anymore.
b43 PIO support is dead and unused code.
After applying this patch please do
git rm drivers/net/wireless/b43/pio.h
git rm drivers/net/wireless/b43/pio.c
to remove the main PIO support code.

This removes the direct call to rfkill on an rfkill event
and replaces it with an input device. This way userspace is also
notified about the event.
