Holger Schurig 7919b89c82 libertas: convert libertas driver to use an event/cmdresp queue ...

This patch (co-developed by Dan Williams and Holger Schurig) uses a kfifo
object for events and a swapping buffer scheme for the command response to
preserve the zero-copy semantics of the CF driver and keep memory usage low.
The main thread should only ever touch the buffer indexed by priv->resp_idx,
while the interface code is free to write to the second buffer, then swap
priv->resp_idx under the driver spinlock.  The firmware specs only permit
one in-flight command, so there will only ever be one command response to
process at a time.
