entry->proc_fops is a pointer to struct file_operations. When we
call create_proc_entry(...), it pointis to proc_file_operations,
deep in fs/proc/generic.c. By adding a 'poll' member to this struct
we effectively force the 'poll' member on every file in /proc,
which is wrong (they all fail select(...) calls).
This patch changes a copy of entry->proc_fops and reassigns it rather
than changing the original member.

serialize open and close calls and ensure that device's
open and close methods are only called when first user
opens it or last user closes it.

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!
