The patch is modeled after your method for creating files for usb. It
makes a single file for pci sysfs files (except for pool, which I haven't
touched yet). It also exposes more pci information to User Space
through sysfs. Finally, it removes the dependence on the proc pci code
for sysfs files.

Fixes problems found by the CHECKER program in the pci hotplug drivers

Moved functions from drivers/hotplug/pci_hotplug_util.c to
drivers/pci/hotplug.c, which is a better place for them.

Relies on sysfs_update_file() to be present in the kernel.

Here is a little patch that remove procfs stuff in pci_hotplug_core.c
Remove /proc entry for pci_hotplug_core.

These were pointed out by "dan carpenter" <error27@email.com>
from his smatch tool.

This prevents reporting processes as having started in the future, after
32 bit jiffies wrap.

Use 64 bit jiffies for reporting uptime.

Provide a sane way to avoid unneccessary locking on 64 bit platforms,
and a 64 bit analogous to "jiffies_to_clock_t()".

 - conversion of remaining drivers to generic device model
 - more of sfr's compat stuff
 - eliminate some bogus syscalls
 - update for MUX driver
 - beginnings of new module code
 - tell the keyboard driver about CONFIG_PARISC

This patch clears out the device queue when a unit is removed.

This code implements the setting of devices offline during the removal
phase.

This patch makes us hold the host reference count a little bit longer in
the /proc interface code.  We were releasing it too early before.

  speedtouch: reject outgoing packets earlier when the firmware is not loaded.

  speedtouch: allocate send urbs in udsl_usb_probe rather than in udsl_usb_data_init.
  Since this diminishes udsl_usb_data_init down to almost nothing, roll it into the one
  place it was used.  Get rid of the semaphore Oliver put it - it is no longer needed.

  speedtouch: change data_started to firmware_loaded, which is what it actually
  means, plus some minor related changes.

  speedtouch: a pile of cosmetic changes to make me feel happier (no code changes).

  speedtouch: wait for receive urb completion handlers to finish after calling
  usb_unlink_urb.

  speedtouch: more robust handling of receive urb failure: retry failed urbs whenever
  a new connection is opened.  This should work well with pppd's persist option.

Rediffed version of the original patch - no sk_buff on the stack this time.

  speedtouch: recycle the receive urb's buffer.  Currently, every time a receive urb
    completes, its old buffer is thrown away and replaced with a new one.  This patch
    performs the minor changes needed to reuse the old buffer.

  speedtouch: move all processing of receive urbs to udsl_atm_processqueue.  This has
  several advantages, as will be seen in the next few patches.  The most important is
  that it makes it easy to reuse of the urb's buffer (right now a new buffer is
  allocated every time the urb completes).  By the way, this patch is much smaller than
  it looks: most of the bulk is due to indentation changes.

This patch prints the vendor + product ids of the scanner after it has
been successfully detected.

Also the annoying error message about "Scanner device is already open"
was downgraded to a dbg. Scanning for devices while one scanner device
was open produced several 100 error messages in syslog.

This patch changes the maintainer from Brian Beattie to Henning
Meier-Geinitz and adds a link to the documentation and website.

This is a minor cleanup to convert 8 spaces into tabs.  There is no
functional change here.

This patch removes the US_FL_DEV_ATTACHED flag, which is now rendered
obsolete by the new hotplug system.

It also adds a comment or two about areas of code that need to be
re-examined.
