It turns out that it's better to extend the device
support in bcm4301 due to more difficulties in reverse
engineering the newer bcm drivers.
Newer drivers don't contain support for wireless core ref < 5
anymore. So I suggest we support <5 devices with the legacy
driver using v3 firmware. And anything above with v4 firmware
with upstream bcm43xx-mac80211.
That's actually a nice cutoff point, as rev 5 is when they
started using the new microcode format.

So, that said, I want to rename all the drivers.
My plan was to rename "bcm43xx-mac80211" to "b43", so
you could probably rename bcm4301 to b43-legacy or something
shorter like b43-leg or maybe even b43-old.

Any comments?
