field rather than urb->pipe.

Add a class which allows for an easier integration with udev.
This code was originally written by Paolo Abeni, and arrived to my tree
as a part of big patch to add binary API on December 18. As I understand,
Paolo always meant the class to be a part of the whole thing. This is his
udev rule to go along with the patch:
KERNEL=="usbmon[0-9]*", NAME="usbmon%n", MODE="0440",OWNER="root",GROUP="bin"

Add the "bus zero" feature to the usbmon. If a user process specifies bus
with number zero, it receives events from all buses. This is useful when
we wish to see initial enumeration when a bus is created, typically after
a modprobe. Until now, an application had to loop until a new bus could
be open, then start capturing on it. This procedure was cumbersome and
could lose initial events. Also, often it's too bothersome to find exactly
to which bus a specific device is attached.
Paolo Albeni provided the original concept implementation. I added the
handling of "bus->monitored" flag and generally fixed it up.

mon_bin_exit() and mon_text_exit() are called from __init code, so don't mark
them as __exit.

This patch adds a new, "binary" API in addition to the old, text API usbmon
had before. The new API allows for less CPU use, and it allows to capture
all data from a packet where old API only captured 32 bytes at most. There
are some limitations and conditions to this, e.g. in case someone constructs
a URB with 1GB of data, it's not likely to be captured, because even the
huge buffers of the new reader are finite. Nonetheless, I expect this new
capability to capture all data for all real life scenarios.
The downside is, a special user mode application is required where cat(1)
worked before. I have sample code at http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/
and Paolo Abeni is working on patching libpcap.
This patch was initially written by Paolo and later I tweaked it, and
we had a little back-and-forth. So this is a jointly authored patch, but
I am submitting this I am responsible for the bugs.
