This patch introduces a /sys/class/usb_device/ class
where every connected usb-device will show up:

  tree /sys/class/usb_device/
  /sys/class/usb_device/
  |-- usb1.1
  |   |-- dev
  |   `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1
  |-- usb2.1
  |   |-- dev
  |   `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2
  ...

The presence of the "dev" file lets udev create real device nodes.
  kay@pim:~/src/linux-2.6> tree /dev/bus/usb/
  /dev/bus/usb/
  |-- 1
  |   `-- 1
  |-- 2
  |   `-- 1
  ...

udev rule:
  SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usb_device %k", NAME="%c"
  (echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usb\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/')

This makes libusb pick up the real nodes instead of the mounted usbfs:
  export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb

Background:
  All this makes it possible to manage usb devices with udev instead of
  the devfs solution. We are currently working on a pam_console/resmgr
  replacement driven by udev and a pam-helper. It applies ACL's to device
  nodes, which is required for modern desktop functionalty like
  "Fast User Switching" or multiple local login support.

New patch with its own major. I've succesfully disabled usbfs and use real
nodes only on my box. With: "export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb" libusb picks
up the udev managed nodes instead of reading usbfs files.

This makes udev to provide symlinks for libusb to pick up:
  SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usbdevice %k", SYMLINK="%c"

/sbin/usbdevice:
  #!/bin/sh
  echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usbdev\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/'

To recap: My new G4 powerbook has a bluetooth device that boots up in
what apppears to be a compatability mode - it looks exactly like an HID
keyboard/mouse device.

A special command sequence is sent to switch it into full bluetooth
mode. When this occurs the original HID device vanishes, and a new
(bluetooth HID) USB device appears on the bus with a different product
ID.

The original thread is here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=12532263

The attached patch adds the device to the hid-core quirks so that
hid-core ignores it.

This patch for the ftdi_sio driver adds a bunch of new devices and fixes
an incorrect PID:

o Fix PID for ELV UO100 (the PID was in fact for ELV UR100).
o Add PID ELV UR100 (see above) and ELV ALC 8500 Expert.
o Add a whole bunch of other PIDs for ELV USB devices, commented out for
   now as they may be used by other drivers eventually.  (Christian Abt
   of ELV.de submitted a full list of devices including an indication of
   which set of drivers are used by default in the MS Windows world.  We
   decided to comment out the devices that use FTDI's D2XX Windows
   drivers by default.)
o Add PIDs for eight devices from Xsens Technologies BV (submitted in a
   patch against 2.6.12.2 by Patrick Riphagen).
o Add PID for Falcom Samba GPRS modem (submitted by Sebastian Schubert).

This trivial patch makes pl2303 driver work correctly with pl2303HX chip.
Apparently some bug in HX version of pl2303 makes the chip loose some
transmitted bytes or stop working at all after reception of
USB_REQ_CLEAR_FEATURE mesage. Logs generated by UsbSnoop application reveal
that windows driver does not send this type of messages to the converter.

This patch centralizes the assignment of bcdDevice numbers for different
gadget controllers.  This won't improve the object code at all, but it
does save a lot of repetitive and error-prone source code ... and will
simplify the work of supporting a new controller driver, since most new
gadget drivers will no longer need patches (unless some hardware quirks
limit USB protocol messaging).

Added minor cleanups and identifer hooks for the UDC in the Freescale
iMX series processors.

We should not restrict use of ieee80211 to only when wireless drivers
are enabled.  In-development and out-of-tree drivers may wish to use it,
and by removing this restriction we eliminate a circular dependency.

When we copy 32bit ->msg_control contents to kernel, we walk the same
userland data twice without sanity checks on the second pass.

Second version of this patch: the original broke with 64-bit arches
running 32-bit-compat-mode executables doing sendmsg() syscalls with
unaligned CMSG data areas

Another thing is that we use kmalloc() to allocate and sock_kfree_s()
to free afterwards; less serious, but also needs fixing.

ICH6 spec defines the PORT_ bits as:

PORT_ENABLED (R/W):

  0 = Disabled.  The port is in the off state and cannot detect any
  devices.

  1 = Enabled.  The port can transition between the on, partial, and
  slumber states and can detect devices.

PORT_PRESENT  (R/O)

  The status of this bit may change at any time.  This bit is cleared
  when the port is disabled via PORT_ENABLED.  This bit is not cleared upon
  surprise removal of a device.

So from a textual view it is not necessary that PORT_PRESENT _must_ be set,
especially if a device detection has to be done anyway.  And, in fact, this
is the view that ACER has been taken with its new Laptops (e.g.  Travelmate
4150).

And the definition of PORT_ENABLED / PORT_PRESENT is mixed up, btw.

With the previous commit that introduces the klist enhancements, we can
now re-do 2b7d6a8c again.

The problem is that klists claim to provide semantics for safe traversal of
lists which are being modified.  The failure case is when traversal of a
list causes element removal (a fairly common case).  The issue is that
although the list node is refcounted, if it is embedded in an object (which
is universally the case), then the object will be freed regardless of the
klist refcount leading to slab corruption because the klist iterator refers
to the prior element to get the next.

The solution is to make the klist take and release references to the
embedding object meaning that the embedding object won't be released until
the list relinquishes the reference to it.

(akpm: fast-track this because it's needed for the 2.6.13 scsi merge)
