Transition driver to exclusively use the request_firmware()
interfaces to retrieve firmware-blobs from user-space. This
will be the default behaviour going forward until the
embedded firmware-binary images are removed from the
upstream kernel.
Upon request, the driver caches the firmware image until the
driver is unloaded.
NOTE: The option is present to allow the user to continue to
use the firmware-loader modules, but, should be considered
deprecated.

This adds the appropriate FW_LOADER pre-requisite and a separate entry
for ISP24xx support.
Thanks to Adrian Bunk and Jesper Juhl for their efforts in fixing this
quirk.

If we haven't configured the qla24xx driver, then the Makefile shouldn't
do it for us.
This also means that we can avoid the unnecessary selection of FC_ATTRS.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
