fix hotplug2 event processing deadlock
when bringing up ethernet on ixp4xx, the driver may request a firmware while hotplug2 waits for the netdev bringup to complete. change the event processing loop to keep an event backlog to allow unthrottled events to pass through while throttled events are being waited for SVN-Revision: 12019
