The last time the Broadcom NetXtremeII firmware was updated
and only the latest firmwares are supported in all current
stable kernels so let's drop all the unsupported versions.
They're in git and releases for those that wish to find them.

New firmware fixes iSCSI problems with some LeftHand targets that don't
set TTT=0xffffffff for Data-In according to spec. Firmware generates
exception warnings for this condition and becomes very slow. This is
fixed by suppressing these warnings when using default error mask.

upstream kernel commit dc187cb381f1bceb30498861ece510245c43ed9f
Update 5709 mips firmware to 6.2.1a to fix iSCSI performance
regression. There was an unnecessary context read in the fast path
affecting performance.
Update bnx2 to 2.1.6.

Based on original patch by Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> and
Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org>, with the following main changes:
Separated the mips firmware and rv2p firmware into different files
to make it easier to update them separately.
Added some code to fixup the rv2p code with run-time information
such as PAGE_SIZE.
Update version to 2.0.0.
