This patch makes usbcore automatically allocate and register the root hub
device for a new host controller when the controller is registered. This
way the HCDs don't all have to include the same boilerplate code. As a
pleasant side benefit, the register_root_hub routine can now be made
static and not EXPORTed.

This is a revised version of an earlier patch to add support to usbcore
for driving root hubs by interrupts rather than polling.
There's a temporary flag added to struct usb_hcd, marking devices whose
drivers are aware of the new mechanism. By default that flag doesn't get
set so drivers will continue to see the same polling behavior as before.
This way we can convert the HCDs one by one to use interrupt-based event
reporting, and the temporary flag can be removed when they're all done.
Also included is a small change to the hcd_disable_endpoint routine.
Although endpoints normally shouldn't be disabled while a controller is
suspended, it's legal to do so when the controller's driver is being
rmmod'ed.
Lastly the patch adds a new callback, .hub_irq_enable, for use by HCDs
where the root hub's port-change interrupts are level-triggered rather
than edge-triggered. The callback is invoked each time khubd has finished
processing a root hub, to let the HCD know that the interrupt can safely
be re-enabled.

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!
