04af6e9603 GNU awk does not output escaped newlines in multi-line printc statements. This
leads to compile errors when trying to compile firmware(9) stubs created with
gawk, as multiple #include statements end up on the same line.  Replace the
multi-line printc statement that outputs all of the #includes with one printc
per #include.  This allows modules compatible with firmware(9) to be cross-built
from a Linux machine without requiring the one true awk to be installed.

I've intentionally done the minimal set of changes necessary to make gawk
produce valid (but not pretty) C code, to reduce the churn and keep fw_stubs.awk
as readable as possible.

7bd6fde395 - Add Intel firmwares for Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100/2200/2915 cards in a
uuencoded format along with their respective LICENSE files.
- Add new share/doc/legal directory to BSD.usr.dist mtree file. This is the
place we install LICENSE files for restricted firmwares.
- Teach firmware(9) and kmod.mk about licensed firmwares. Restricted firmwares
won't load properly unless legal.<name>.license_ack is set to 1, either
via kenv(1) or /boot/loader.conf.

33d5497079 Cleanup and document the implementation of firmware(9) based on
a version that i posted earlier on the -current mailing list,
and subsequent feedback received.

The core of the change is just in sys/firmware.h and kern/subr_firmware.c,
while other files are just adaptation of the clients to the ABI change
(const-ification of some parameters and hiding of internal info,
so this is fully compatible at the binary level).

In detail:
- reduce the amount of information exported to clients in struct firmware,
  and constify the pointer;

- internally, document and simplify the implementation of the various
  functions, and make sure error conditions are dealt with properly.

The diffs are large, but the code is really straightforward now (i hope).

Note also that there is a subtle issue with the implementation of
firmware_register(): currently, as in the previous version, we just
store a reference to the 'imagename' argument, but we should rather
copy it because there is no guarantee that this is a static string.
I realised this while testing this code, but i prefer to fix it in
a later commit -- there is no regression with respect to the past.

Note, too, that the version in RELENG_6 has various bugs including
missing locks around the module release calls, mishandling of modules
loaded by /boot/loader, and so on, so an MFC is absolutely necessary
there.  I was just postponing it until this cleanup to avoid doing
things twice.

c3e7da2b4c Check for errors when registering and unregistering firmware modules. This
prevents the unfortunate situation whereby one might kldload a firmware
module by hand and later kldunload it while a driver still has an open
reference to it.

6aec1278dc firmware(9) is a subsystem to load binary data into the kernel via a
specially crafted module.  There are several handrolled sollutions to this
problem in the tree already which will be replaced with this.  They include
iwi(4), ipw(4), ispfw(4) and digi(4).
