Instead of assigning values for the struct cpu_reg's at runtime,
we already know these values at compile time. Therefore, we can use
designated initializers, to initialize these structures and not have
to incur this assignment cost at run-time.

This is a follow up to the patches from Denys Vlasenkos
<vda.linux@googlemail.com> to further optimize firmware loading.
1. In bnx2_init_cpus(), we allocate memory for decompression once
and use it repeatedly instead of doing this for every firmware image.
2. We eliminate the BSS and SBSS firmware sections in bnx2_fw*.h since
these are always zeros.

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).

This fixes the problem of not receiving packets in the Xen bridging
environment. The Xen script sets the device's MAC address to
FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and puts the device in promiscuous mode. The
firmware had problem receiving all packets in this configuration.
New firmware and setting the PROM_VLAN bit when in promiscuous mode
will fix this problem.

Fix TCP/UDP checksum verification. Use status bits in the buffer
descriptor instead of the checksum value to verify rx checksum.
Using the checksum value will be incorrect if the UDP packet has
zero in the UDP checksum field.
Firmware update required for this fix.
