Staging: add rt2860 wireless driver
This is the Ralink RT2860 driver from the company that does horrible
things like reading a config file from /etc. However, the driver that
is currently under development from the wireless development community
is not working at all yet, so distros and users are using this version
instead (quite common hardware on a lot of netbook machines).
So here is this driver, for now, until the wireless developers get a
"clean" version into the main tree, or until this version is cleaned up
sufficiently to move out of the staging tree.
Ported to the Linux build system and cleaned up a bit already by me.

+I'm hesitant to add a TODO file here, as the wireless developers would
+really have people help them out on the "clean" rt2860 driver that can
+be found at the rt2860.sf.net site.
+
+But, if you wish to clean up this driver instead, here's a short list of
+things that need to be done to get it into a more mergable shape:
+
+TODO:
+ - checkpatch.pl clean
+ - sparse clean
+ - port to in-kernel 80211 stack
+ - remove reading from /etc/ config files
+ - review by the wireless developer community
+
+Please send any patches or complaints about this driver to Greg
+Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com> and don't bother the upstream wireless
+kernel developers about it, they want nothing to do with it.
