Arend van Spriel 10f8113ecb lib: cordic: add library module providing cordic angle calculation
The brcm80211 driver in the staging tree has a cordic function to
determine cosine and sine for a given angle. Feedback received from
John Linville suggested that these kind of functions should be made
available to others as a library function in the kernel tree. The
b43 driver also has a cordic angle calculation implemented.

* The function calculates the i/q coordinate for a given angle using
* cordic algorithm. The coordinate consists of a real (i) and an
* imaginary (q) part. The real part is essentially the cosine of the
* angle and the imaginary part is the sine of the angle. The returned
* values are scaled by 2^16 for precision. The range for theta is
* for -180 degrees to +180 degrees. Passed values outside this range are
* converted before doing the actual calculation.
