future of prism2_usb (aka wlan-ng) in staging tree

Greg, John,

I was wondering what it would take to get the prism2_usb/wlan-ng driver 
out of its long home in the staging tree.

It's seen some work over the years, including conversion to cfg80211, 
and in general seems to be no worse than its ancient bretheren already 
living in net/wireless (ie orinoco and hostap)

There's certianly more internal cleanups that can be performed (eg 
collapsing more unnecessary internal APIs such as the MIB handlers) but 
at face value it would appears that the TODO items in the README have 
been met (other than shutting up checkpatch's style warnings)

I'd be willing to take point on this and make checkpatch happy, but I'm 
curious to hear your thoughts on any additional work you think is 
necessary to get it out of staging.

Cheers,

 - Solomon
