RE: [patch 2.6.12-rc3] modified firmware_class.c to add a new function request_firmware_nowait_nohotplug

That
request_firmware kmalloc's the firmware structure and frees it when
returned. The only way to indicate request_firmware to skip hotplug was
by passing a hotplug flag on the stack.

Also thought of leaving request_firmware_nowait intact didn't want to
break others using this function.
