I'm going to throw schedule_work away, it's retarded. But for starters,
let's have it encapsulated.

Also, generic and whiteheat were both calling usb_serial_port_softint
and scheduled work. Only one was necessary.

The usbserial's port semaphore used to synchronize serial_open()
and serial_close() are strict mutexes, convert them to the mutex
implementation.

There is a race-condition in usb-serial driver that can be triggered if
a processes does 'port->tty->driver_data = NULL' in serial_close() while
other processes is in kernel-space about to call serial_ioctl() on the
same port.

This happens because a process can open the device while there is
another one closing it.

The patch below fixes that by adding a semaphore to ensure that no
process will open the device while another process is closing it.

Note that we can't use spinlocks here, since serial_open() and
serial_close() can sleep.

This fixes up a lot of problems in sysfs with some of the usb serial
drivers, they had incorrect driver names.  Also saves a tiny ammount
of memory.

Don't duplicate something that's already in struct driver.

I'm tired of trying to explain why a "device_type" is really a driver.
This better describes exactly what this structure is.

[PATCH] USB: add ability for usb-serial drivers to determine if their write urb is currently being used.

This removes a lot of racy and buggy code by trying to check the status of the urb.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
