i2400m: RX and TX data/control paths
Handling of TX/RX data to/from the i2400m device (IP packets, control
and diagnostics). On RX, this parses the received read transaction
from the device, breaks it in chunks and passes it to the
corresponding subsystems (network and control).
Transmission to the device is done through a software FIFO, as
data/control frames can be coalesced (while the device is reading the
previous tx transaction, others accumulate). A FIFO is used because at
the end it is resource-cheaper that scatter/gather over USB. As well,
most traffic is going to be download (vs upload).
