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 devices.c we have a piece of code for dealing with losing in a race.
If we indeed lose the race we don't care whether our own memory allocation
worked. The check for that is so early that we return early even if we
don't have to.

I was sitting in a train threatened to be blocked by ice. I took this
as a hint to do some more boring work for the common good. Here's
a bit more for coding style.

The patch removes unneeded casts for the following (void *) pointers:
 - struct file: private
 - struct urb: context
 - struct usb_bus: hcpriv
 - return value of kmalloc()

The patch also contains some whitespace cleanup in the relevant areas.

Making structs const prevents accidental bugs and with the proper debug

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.

This patch (as605) removes the private udev->serialize semaphore,
relying instead on the locking provided by the embedded struct device's
semaphore.  The changes are confined to the core, except that the
usb_trylock_device routine now uses the return convention of
down_trylock rather than down_read_trylock (they return opposite values
for no good reason).

A couple of other associated changes are included as well:

	Now that we aren't concerned about HCDs that avoid using the
	hcd glue layer, usb_disconnect no longer needs to acquire the
	usb_bus_lock -- that can be done by usb_remove_hcd where it
	belongs.

	Devices aren't locked over the same scope of code in
	usb_new_device and hub_port_connect_change as they used to be.
	This shouldn't cause any trouble.

Along with the preceding driver core patch, this needs a lot of testing.

  to be const char * so one can use

  Also kill couple of whitespaces.

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!
