The HID layer has some scan codes of the form 0xffbc0000 for logitech devices which do not work if scancode is typed as signed int, so we need to switch to unsigned it instead.

The smsgiucv_app driver registers a callback with the smsgiucv driver to receive z/VM CP special messages (SMSG) starting with "APP". When the callback is called for special messages, the driver creates an uevent for the received message. The uevent consists of additional environment data containing the message prefix ("APP"), message sender, and message content. udev rules can be used to trigger application specific actions through matching the content or sender of the special message.

The device driver must allocate memory for IUCV buffers with GFP_DMA, because IUCV cannot address memory above 2GB (31bit addresses only).

In the future, we are going to be changing the lock type for struct device (once we get the lockdep infrastructure properly worked out) To make that changeover easier, and to possibly burry the lock in a different part of struct device, let's create some functions to lock and unlock a device so that no out-of-core code needs to be changed in the future. This patch creates the device_lock/unlock/trylock() functions, and converts all in-tree users to them.
