[PATCHv2 00/28] Allow built-in firmware to be accessed by request_firmware()

From: David Woodhouse

Second attempt, now in the git tree at
git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/firmware-2.6.git

At Alan's suggestion, start by making fw->data const so that we can
avoid the extra vmalloc+copy when we find it built-in. Mostly
straightforward, but could do with an extra pair of eyes and some
testing for the cxusb, myri10ge, cx25840 and or51211 changes.

Also switch to using a .S file for the included firmware, which means we
can use .incbin instead of including the whole thing in hex form in a C
file. And fix up the case where there were no built-in firmware
