bfload loads bitfile firmwares into Mesa AnyIO boards.  That job is now done by 
the hostmot2 driver.

I think the only way bfload could be useful is if someone wanted to write a 
driver for AnyIO boards with some firmware *other* than hm2, and in that case I 
think a better way to do it would be to split the anyio support out of the hm2 
driver and make it generic & reusable.

I don't know how specific bfload is, but it probably won't be useful.  Pci_read 
and pci_write are more generic and could be useful during development of other 
PCI drivers.
