Add firmware loader plugin for STE-modem firmware. This plugin add
functions for extracting the resource table and loading the
firmware image into shared memory.

OK, here is an early version of the STE-Modem firmware loader.
Haven't done the Makefile and Kconfig updates yet though.

I have done some basic testing on this patch, and it seems ok.
But I have one issue, I need the firmware image to be allocated
at the start of shared memory. But the vring gets allocated first.
I could work around this by calling dma_mark_declared_memory_occupied(),
from the driver and then call dma_release_from_coherent() before booting.
But this feels like a hack. Any ideas on how to handle this properly?

Regards,
Sjur
