firmware loader: printk when requesting firmware

Browse source 
Before requesting firmware, printk a message saying what we're requesting. This
makes it easier to see what's going on, and provides an explanation for the
huge silent delay that one would otherwise get after accidentally building
ipw2200 as a non-module.
