David has a G5 with a printer. I am quite surprised that nobody else noticed
this before. Linus has a G5. Hackers hate printing in general, maybe.

We do not use BKL anymore, because one of code paths had a sleeping call,
so we had to use a semaphore. I am sure it's safe to use unlocked_ioctl.

The new ioctls return long and retval is int. It looks completely fine to me.
We never want these extra bits, and the sign extension ought to work right.

patch below marks various USB tables and variables as const so that they
end up in .rodata section and don't cacheline share with things that get
written to. For the non-array variables it also allows gcc to optimize
more.

It is no longer needed, so let's remove it, saving a bit of memory.

Also fixes all drivers that set this field, and removes some other devfs
specfic USB logic.

Rate-limit usblp printer error status messages.

I unplugged my USB printer and almost instantly got several hundred
of these in my kernel message log:
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: error -19 reading printer status

Initialize status fields in the read and write urbs to prevent a race
condition with open/read/close - open/write/close sequences.

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!
