This request-for-test patch converts the b43 driver to use threaded
interrupt handlers. This is needed to support b43 on SDIO. But it also
simplifies the locking by removal of the wl->irq_lock spinlock.

A known regression is a new race between the interrupt handler and the
beacon update handler. But as long as you don't run AP mode, it won't hurt.
I'm working on a solution...

Please test this patch whether it creates other regressions (performance and 
crashes).

The patch also needs the following hack to the threaded IRQ code:
