Subject: qcserial/gobi firmware loader

I've reimplemented Alexander's shell scripts for firmware loading in C 
and added a udev rule to automatically trigger the loading[1]. Thanks to 
Sergey's hint I've added checksumming support so it should work on other 
firmwares as well. The firmware needs to be obtained somehow and then 
put in /lib/firmware/gobi, but should then automatically load when the 
device is ready.

You can download this at http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/gobi_loader/

[1] The firmware to be loaded depends on the user's network, so I can't 
think of an especially clean way of doing this in kernel.
