This makes the AHRS continually process SPI messages
while waiting for new samples to be ready. This has
the side effect of making the CPU utilization on the
AHRS pin at 99-100% (ie. we make use of all of our
otherwise idle time).

in. Also change the velocity variance in indoor mode to lower to make it get a better attitude estimate (primarily faster convergence - probably will tweak this in the future dynamically). Finally decreased barometer variance - in scope it's actually quite reasonable, normally within +/- .5 m.

No functional changes. Whitespace/tab fixups only.
Use TRUE/FALSE instead of 1/0.

No need to have boolean flags being floats.
Some of the attitude message was being populated twice.

Debug code was previously using the q4 element
in the attitude message to encode a cycle counter
to measure performance on the AHRS. This is no
longer valid.

into NED reference frame and used in the INSGPS algorithm, although currently this
information isn't propagated back to OP. Data structures related to the GPS position
into the algorithm and the position estimate out will likely be in flux.

Altitude/pressure sensor data is sent to the AHRS whenever
the AltitudeActual object is updated.
Altitude, Pressure and Temperature are sent as floats.
Same as in the UAVObject that goes to the GCS.

The STM32 I2C block has a number of errata associated with it.
These errata are primarily related to timing sensitivities between
the peripheral and the interrupt handler. In particular, the
correct generation of the stop bit relies on the I2C IRQ running
immediately and not being held off for any reason.
NOTE: The I2C interrupts must be the highest priority IRQs in the
system to ensure correct operation.
I2C protocol is now implemented as a formal state machine.
See: stm32_i2c_fsm.{dot,jpg} for FSM description.
I2C init is now expressed by const initializers in pios_board.c
for both OP and AHRS boards.
I2C device drivers (ie. bmp085/hmc5843) now pass in const arrays
of an unlimited number of bus transfers to be done atomically.
The I2C adapter driver now handles all bus-level locking across the
list of transactions. Generation of start/restart/stop conditions
are handled automatically over the list of transactions.
Timeouts have been removed from the API for now. May be added
back later.
This driver has run error free on both the OP and AHRS boards for
up to 48hrs but it still sometimes fails earlier than that on the OP
board. There is another possible set of improvements to the driver
that could employ the DMA engine for transfers of >= 2bytes. This
change would reduce the timing sensitivities between the peripheral
and the driver but unfortunately, both the SPI and I2C interfaces
share the DMA1 engine. That means only one of these two peripherals
can use the DMA engine and right now, SPI between OP and AHRS is
already using it.
Failures are currently fatal and will lock up the CPU. This allows
useful information to be obtained in the failure cases.

- AHRS mainloop now runs flat out updating sensor data and
processing any messages sent from the OP board.
- Raw data is provided from the magnetometers
- Fake data is provided for attitude solution
- Correct data is provided for serial number queries
Note: There is a bug in the i2c code that very quickly leaves the
magnetometer in a broken state and returning incorrect values.

PIOS SPI devices may now make use of automatic CRC generation
and checking on block transfers. Only supports CRC8 for now.
Since the SPI interface CRC calculation continues across message
boundaries (ie. not reset on every transfer), we must manually reset
the CRC registers for every transfer to allow the two sides of the
link to resynchronize.
Unfortunately, resetting the CRC registers requires disabling the
SPI peripheral which must now be done on every block transfer.
Note: The last byte of the tx buffer is never sent and is assumed to
be a place holder for the tx CRC8.
Note: The last byte of the rx buffer is expected to hold the rx CRC8.
