usbmon: bus zero
Add the "bus zero" feature to the usbmon. If a user process specifies bus
with number zero, it receives events from all buses. This is useful when
we wish to see initial enumeration when a bus is created, typically after
a modprobe. Until now, an application had to loop until a new bus could
be open, then start capturing on it. This procedure was cumbersome and
could lose initial events. Also, often it's too bothersome to find exactly
to which bus a specific device is attached.

Move the calls to the autosuspend condition-checking routine

really matters.

Replace immediate returns with gotos so that the optional

If autoresume is disabled but the device is already awake,

Don't try to autoresume a device if it isn't suspended.

USB: make usbdevices export their device nodes instead of using a separate class
o The "real" usb-devices export now a device node which can
populate /dev/bus/usb.
o The usb_device class is optional now and can be disabled in the

are the same.
o The environment of the usb-device event contains DEVNUM and BUSNUM to
help udev and get rid of the ugly udev rule we need for the class
devices.
o The usb-devices and usb-interfaces share the same bus, so I used
the new "struct device_type" to let these devices identify
themselves. This also removes the current logic of using a magic
platform-pointer.
The name of the device_type is also added to the environment
which makes it easier to distinguish the different kinds of devices
on the same subsystem.
It looks like this:
add@/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2/2-1
ACTION=add
DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2/2-1

MINOR=131
DEVTYPE=usb_device
PRODUCT=46d/c03e/2000

BUSNUM=002

Driver core: make uevent-environment available in uevent-file

It isn't used at all by the driver core anymore, and the few usages of
it within the kernel have now all been fixed as most of them were using
it incorrectly. So remove it.
Now the whole struct subsys can be removed from the system, but that's
for a later patch...

the current driver tree contains the removal of subsys.rwsem.
Unfortunately, this breaks qeth. However, it should be no problem to
fix the walking of the devices for /proc/qeth:
No need to take subsys.rwsem during walking the devices,
driver_find_devices() should already suffice.
The subsystem rwsem is not used by the driver core at all, so the use of
it in the phy code doesn't make any sense. They might possibly
want to use a local lock, but I am unsure about that.
The subsystem rwsem is not used by the driver core at all, so the use of
it in the ieee1394 code doesn't make any sense. They might possibly
want to use a local lock, but as most of these operations are already
protected by a local lock, it really doesn't look like it would be
needed.

The rwsem is not used to protect anything, so the use of it by the PNP
subsystem isn't really useful, and it's doubtful if it really did anything or
not. So I've removed it.

USB: remove use of the bus rwsem, as it doesn't really protect anything.
The driver core stopped using the rwsem a long time ago, yet the USB
core still grabbed the lock, thinking it protected something. This
patch removes that useless use.

In cases when there are devices of different types in the same class
we can't use class's implementation of suspend and resume methods and
we need to add them to struct device_type instead.
Also fix error handling in resume code (we should not try to call

kref: fix CPU ordering with respect to krefs
some atomic operations are only atomic, not ordered. Thus a CPU is allowed
to reorder memory references to an object to before the reference is
obtained. This fixes it.

Driver core: remove unneeded completion from driver release path
The completion in the driver release path is due to ancient history in
the _very_ early 2.5 days when we were not tracking the module reference
count of attributes. It is not needed at all and can be removed.
Note, we now have an empty release function for the driver structure.
This is due to the fact that drivers are statically allocated in the
system at this point in time, something which I want to change in the
future. But remember, drivers are really code, which is reference
counted by the module, unlike devices, which are data and _must_ be
reference counted properly in order to work correctly.

Don't fail bus_attach_device() if the device cannot be bound.
If dev->driver has been specified, reset it to NULL if device_bind_driver()

bus_attach_device() now cannot fail, and we can remove some checking from
device_add().
Also remove an unneeded check in bus_rescan_devices_helper().

driver core: per-subsystem multithreaded probing
Make multithreaded probing work per subsystem instead of per driver.
It doesn't make much sense to probe the same device for multiple drivers in
parallel (after all, only one driver can bind to the device). Instead, create
a probing thread for each device that probes the drivers one after another.
Also make the decision to use multi-threaded probe per bus instead of per
device and adapt the pci code.
