Hi,

nice patches Jonas.

I would leave the names of the config options as you suggested so
B43_FW_4_150, B43_FW_4_178 and B43_FW_5_10, but the config title should
be extended, this should contain "Firmware 410.2160 from driver 4......"
with the exact version numbers. The experimental and stable should be
removed, but B43_FW_4_150 should be the default one.
