This adds template code for the LP-PHY.
No actual functionality is implemented.

3d0da75164 b43: Move code from nphy.* to phy_n.*
Sourcecode files for PHY code are named by phy_XXX.{c,h}
where XXX is the PHY type.
Move the N-PHY code to match the other files.

ef1a628d83 b43: Implement dynamic PHY API
This patch implements a dynamic "ops" based PHY API.
This is needed in order to conveniently support future PHY types
to avoid the "switch"-hell.

This patch does not change any functionality. It just moves lots
of code from one place to another and adjusts it for the changed
data structures.

5100d5ac81 b43: Add PIO support for PCMCIA devices
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).

c01f9c6f1d b43: Don't compile N-PHY code when N-PHY is disabled
There's no need to compile the N-PHY support code, when the
N-PHY support is disabled in Kconfig.

03b29773b6 b43: Remove PIO support
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.

61bca6eb85 b43: rewrite A PHY initialization
Rewrite and sync A PHY initialization with specs, thus allowing for further
work to be done on 802.11a support. Note that A PHY initialization involves
G PHYs as well.
