For the benefit of those not on IRC, these two patches should be all
that's needed (untested!)

The idea will be to strip out the PCI info from both b43 and b43legacy
and then have those two as ssb-core drivers, put the pci IDs into a
bridge module that only registers the pci/ssb bridge and then the other
modules are auto-loaded based on the ssb info.
