[PATCH net-2.6] be2net: Bug fix to avoid disabling bottom half during firmware upgrade.

[PATCH net-2.6] be2net: Bug fix to avoid disabling bottom half during firmware upgrade.

[Sarveshwar Bandi]

Certain firmware commands/operations to upgrade firmware could take several
seconds to complete. The code presently disables bottom half during these
operations which could lead to unpredictable behaviour in certain cases. This
patch now does all firmware upgrade operations asynchronously using a
completion variable.

Applied, thanks.
