This patch (as717b) removes the existing recursion in hub resume code:
Resuming a hub will no longer automatically resume the devices attached
to the hub.

At the same time, it adds one level of recursion: Suspending a USB
device will automatically suspend all the device's interfaces.  Failure
at an intermediate stage will cause all the already-suspended interfaces
to be resumed. Attempts to suspend or resume an interface by itself will
do nothing, although they won't return an error.  Thus the regular
system-suspend and system-resume procedures should continue to work as
before; only runtime PM will be affected.

The patch also removes the code that tests state of the interfaces
before suspending a device.  It's no longer needed, since everything
gets suspended together.

This patch (as714b) makes usb_generic into a usb_device_driver capable
of being probed and unbound, just like other drivers.  A fair amount of
the work that used to get done during discovery or removal of a USB
device have been moved to the probe and disconnect methods of
usb_generic: creating the sysfs attributes and selecting an initial
configuration.  However the normal behavior should continue to be the
same as before.

We will now have the possibility of creating other USB device drivers,
They will assist with exporting devices to remote systems
(USB-over-TCPIP) or to paravirtual guest operating systems.

This patch (as732) adds a usb_device_driver structure, for representing
drivers that manage an entire USB device as opposed to just an
interface.  Support routines like usb_register_device_driver,
usb_deregister_device_driver, usb_probe_device, and usb_unbind_device
are also added.

Unlike an earlier version of this patch, the new code is type-safe.  To
accomplish this, the existing struct driver embedded in struct
usb_driver had to be wrapped in an intermediate wrapper.  This enables
the core to tell at runtime whether a particular struct driver belongs
to a device driver or to an interface driver.

This revised patch (as713b) moves a few routines among source files in
usbcore.  Some driver-related code in usb.c (claiming interfaces and
matching IDs) is moved to driver.c, where it belongs.  Also the
usb_generic stuff in driver.c is moved to a new source file: generic.c.
(That's the reason for revising the patch.)  Although not very big now,
it will get bigger in a later patch.

None of the code has been changed; it has only been re-arranged.
