Right now we should simply ignore 8bit data and return an error.

Actually valid_ussd_string will accept just about everything.

What about the evil set of DCSes which indicate a ISO639 2 character code 
preceding the message?

So this part concerns me, see below.

cssd_notify :)

This part of 27.007 is utterly and completely broken.  We have to be extra 
careful whenever we mess with CSCS.  Does this have any unfortunate side 
effects, in particular with +COPS, +CPUC, etc?  Also note that since we change 
the CSCS during phonebook import, any USSDs sent/received during this time 
won't actually work properly :)
