If userencounter the "Fatal DMA Problem" with a BCM43XX device, and
still wish to use b43 as the driver, their only option is to rebuild
the kernel with CONFIG_B43_FORCE_PIO. This patch removes this option and
allows PIO mode to be selected with a load-time parameter for the module.
Note that the configuration variable CONFIG_B43_PIO is also removed.
Once the DMA problem with the BCM4312 devices is solved, this patch will
likely be reverted.

John,
This version implements the changes suggested by Michael Buesch.
I don't know where this change should go. It is likely too large
and invasive to be applied to 2.6.33; however, it should be
applied to 2.6.32. Hmm? I guess that is why you get the "big money".
:)
