6cf1d5e1ff HAL_PX4: handle IO errors on microsd
this should handle EINTR gracefully

c9799fb2b7 HAL_PX4: writing more than 512 bytes at a time can cause IO errors
the vfat fs in NuttX is really very picky!

952df2fced HAL_PX4: new buffered storeage driver for microsd cards
this does all IO in the timer thread, avoids writes that don't change
data, and does all writes in multiples of 128 byte chunks. This should
be about as friendly to SD cards as we can get.

f72b532405 HAL_PX4: ensure all writes go via buffers

2a10727902 HAL_PX4: run timer thread as SCHED_FIFO
this ensures it never yields to the main thread, which would break our
locking assumptions

6ffa18fa61 HAL_PX4: rewrite UART driver to be much more efficient
this does the IO in the timer thread, and uses buffers in the main
task to avoid system call costs in the flight code.

The cost of PX4 read and write system calls is quite high - about 10
to 15 usec. We can't afford to pay that per byte

546ed19ffc HAL_PX4: improved efficiency of serial writes

avoid txspace()

18cfd29f2f HAL_PX4: added a read buffer to the UART driver
this lowers the average cost of reading bytes by a large amount, and
prevents the GPS driver from chewing lots of time.

bit slow

4fa7bb1486 Add AVR compatibility header for missing math.h definitions.
- Define float versions of math functions to the double versions
  on AVR (eg. #define sinf sin).
- These macros appear to be missing in older versions of avr-libs.
- Include AP_Math.h rather than math.h to get these definitions.

5631f865b2 Update floating point calculations to use floats instead of doubles.
- Allows use of hardware floating point on the Cortex-M4.
- Added "f" suffix to floating point literals.
- Call floating point versions of stdlib math functions.
