Subject: [PATCH 1/2] bnx2: factor out gzip unpacker

Hi Jeff,

This patch modifies gzip unpacking code in bnx2 driver so that
it does not depend on bnx2 internals. I will move this code
out of the driver and into zlib in follow-on patch.

It can be useful in other drivers which need to store firmwares
or any other relatively big binary blobs - fonts, cursor bitmaps,
whatever.

Patch is run tested by Michael Chan (driver author).

Michael, can you add your ACK?
