Transition driver to exclusively use the request_firmware()
interfaces to retrieve firmware-blobs from user-space.  This
will be the default behaviour going forward until the
embedded firmware-binary images are removed from the
upstream kernel.

Upon request, the driver caches the firmware image until the
driver is unloaded.

NOTE: The option is present to allow the user to continue to
use the firmware-loader modules, but, should be considered
deprecated.

ISP23xx and ISP24xx chips have support for an adaptive
method of posting SCSI command completions for multiple SCSI
commands during a single system interrupt.

SCSI commands are placed on the system response queue
without interrupting the host until 1) a delay timer
expires; or 2) a SCSI command completes with an error.

As long as the host software (qla2xxx) services the response
queue for completions (this polling is done during
queuecommand()) within the 'delay timer' period, the
firmware will not generate system interrupt.
