The main purpose of this new COM implementation is that it is
much simpler, and requires less code space. This takes a bit
of the pressure off of the CC bootloader which was right at
the limit of available code space in the bootloader partition.
This is not intended to ever be used by the application.
This driver also formalizes the assumptions in the bootloader's
usage of the COM layer. All messages are assumed to arrive
in atomic chunks from the HID layer.
These files do not contain content from the ID in the header.
This name seems to have been cut/pasted all over throughout
the openpilot source tree and should be removed from any files
that should not rightfully be attributed to this person.
The PIOS_COM_ReceiveBufferUsed() function call is no longer
necessary since the same semantics can be achieved using calls
to PIOS_COM_ReceiveBuffer().
This allows the spektrum and sbus receiver drivers to bind
directly to the usart layer using a properly exported API
rather than overriding the interrupt handler.
Bytes are now pushed directly from the usart layer into the
com layer without any buffering. The com layer performs all
of the buffering.
A further benefit from this approach is that we can put all
blocking/non-blocking behaviour into the COM layer and not
in the underlying drivers.
Misc related changes:
- Remove obsolete .handler field from irq configs
- Adapt all users of PIOS_COM_* functions to new API
- Fixup callers of PIOS_USB_HID_Init()
The com layer transmit functions should provide guarantees
that they will not modify the buffer that you're transmitting.
Declaring the parameter as a pointer to const keeps the underlying
implementations honest.

- Created a pluggable COM layer
- Converted COM + USART init into static initializers
rather than typedefs
- Generalized the USB HID COM API to match the USART
API.
- Changed USART and COM layers to be data driven rather
than #ifdef'ing/switching on the specifics of each port

You can now send and receive packets (up to 63 bytes) just like using the USART port with PIOS_COM.
HID packet length will soon be increased to support maximum UAVTalk message length.

New standard to be used is PIOS_Module_Function().
Likewise with OpenPilot, OP_Module_Function() is to be used.
