Add request_partial_firmware_into_buf to allow for portions

needs to be loaded in portions from file in memory constrained systems.

Just tear out the differing "id" and just use FW_OPT_PARTIAL and I think
if Luis is happy, you're all set.

I hope so.  Also, I will need to call 
kernel_pread_file_from_path_initns() if FW_OPT_PARTIAL is set
and kernel_read_file_from_path_initns() otherwise to avoid a swiss 
army-knife approach of calling a common function with multiple parameters.
